About the Role
The Global EHS Manager will report to the Global Head of Facilities and Health and Safety and is responsible for managing day-to-day Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) and facilities operations globally. This role leads and supports global teams to ensure a safe and healthy working environment across retail and office locations, ensuring adherence to global statutory compliance and advancing best practice universal standards, systems, and potential accreditations. You will collaborate with internal and external stakeholders, colleagues, and supply partners to foster a one-team approach and support the global implementation of EHS and facilities strategies and relevant strategic projects.

Key responsibilities include managing and overseeing the development and implementation of environmental management systems, identifying and resolving environmental issues, reporting on global waste and utilities, and helping reduce the carbon footprint in line with key stakeholders. You will support data management and work closely with ESG teams, centralise local and global contractors and maintenance companies, and provide management support for UK and global security strategies.

Additional duties involve supporting workplace strategies, refurbishment projects, office design and relocations, acquisition support, tender reviews, and procurement of suppliers. You will assist with regional budget tracking and manage the global health and safety budget.

You will support sustainability initiatives, EHS committees, and other relevant company groups. Ensuring completion and review of all workplace, fire, event, filming, and shooting risk assessments globally is required, along with overseeing regular inspections and safety checks across retail and office sites. You will review global legislative requirements, address gaps identified through global gap analysis, and support the implementation of EHS safety systems.

Other responsibilities include conducting incident and accident investigations with appropriate reporting, supporting legal teams with risk registers, claims, and property enquiries, and contributing to wellbeing strategy development and implementation. You will lead the health and safety mandatory training programme and collaborate with People teams and external providers in Occupational Health and Safety worldwide.
