In an ever-changing, fast-paced world, we owe it to ourselves and our future generations to live life responsibly. At ROCKWOOL, we work relentlessly to enrich modern living through our innovative stone wool solutions.

Join us and make a difference!  

Your future team:  

By joining us at our office in Poznań, Poland, you will become part of the Sustainable Sourcing team, which is embedded in Group Safety, Health & Environment (SHE) department. The department is located both at our Group headquarters in Hedehusene, Denmark, and in Poznań.

In total, around 20 colleagues work across the entire ROCKWOOL organisation to ensure a safe and healthy work environment and to minimise the impact on the external environment at our offices and factories worldwide. Within the Sustainable Sourcing area of the SHE department, we focus on sustainability and due diligence within our supply chains.

We support the organisation within our field and ensure that appropriate standards and guidelines are in place. Each team member has a defined area of expertise, while we still cooperate closely and operate as one integrated team.

What you will be doing: 

As a Supplier ESG Compliance Specialist, you will play a pivotal role in our sustainability efforts by managing supplier questionnaires and audits, ensuring a robust follow-up process, and embedding sustainability practices within our supply chain.

• Fluent in English communication, both in writing and verbally

• Strong communication, interpersonal, and stakeholder management skills

• Experience with using digital supplier questionnaire solutions

• Proficient user of MS Office and proven IT skills

• Any additional audit-related, sustainability, social responsibility, IT, or procurement training or certification will be considered an advantage

What we offer:  

By joining our team, you become a part of the people-centric work environment of a Danish company. We offer you a competitive salary, permanent contract after the probation period, development package, team building events, activity-based office in Poznan’s city center in the new prestigious office building – Nowy Rynek. The building is recognized as a building without barriers, which means that it is fully adapted to the needs of people with disabilities.
