Description:

Novaya delivers globally to our mattress assembly customers latex based components (cores, toppers and pillows). We produce latex (synthetic and natural) based components from production units in Europe (but expanding into Asia & Americas). All sales are B2B to mattress assembly companies, but a good knowledge of the retail market is required to anticipate trends and consumer behaviours. We are on a path to develop natural latex based sustainable and recyclable components and own our own recycling unit where we develop new products from post industrial and post consumer latex/foam flows.
The Global Sustainability Manager will be responsible for leading and managing the company’s sustainability initiatives and strategies worldwide. This will be specifically linked to our product offerings based on our Moreganic Natural Latex (Latex grown in bio-diverse environment, ethically grown & harvested by local communities with zero/negative CO2 footprint). Expanding this new business line supported by the right marketing and sales campaigns will be a key task. Moreover this role involves developing and implementing programs that promote environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and economic performance across all our operations. The Global Sustainability Manager will work closely with various departments and stakeholders to integrate sustainability into all aspects of the business.
