The role

Pull the tech, data, standards and onboarding work behind FSC Trace into one plan and get the platform ready for wider rollout.

The Forest Stewardship Council is hiring an interim product lead for FSC Trace, the platform that tracks certified forest material from end to end. You report to the Director of Product and work with sponsors in system integrity and technology.

The platform is moving from prototype toward wider adoption. Your job is to coordinate every workstream around it, keep the roadmap and program plan, make the platform ready for rollout, and plan onboarding across certificate holders, partners and markets, with clear governance and reporting.

What you will do

  • Coordinate technology, data, standards, onboarding, governance and market workstreams
  • Own the roadmap and program plan, and track milestones, risks and dependencies
  • Turn business needs into specifications and validate releases and acceptance testing
  • Plan onboarding waves and track adoption across the supply chain
  • Keep decision logs and governance records, and report to leadership and committees
Who they are looking for

What the posting asks for

  • Experience getting a product or platform ready for wider rollout
  • Stakeholder and change management across internal teams, partners and vendors
  • A working grasp of data protection and compliance
  • Comfort with supply chain and risk management topics
Our read

Mission-driven and well defined, but heavier on program coordination and rollout than on discovery: the deliverables are registers, playbooks and dashboards. The header on the source page says onsite in the UK while the text says remote with Bonn trips; ask. Short deadline.
