The Product Stewardship Specialist (EPR) supports Mopar’s compliance with U.S. packaging Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) requirements for automotive/aftermarket products, including chemical mixtures and service parts. The role focuses on accurate data collection and validation, producer registrations, timely filings, and fee forecasting. The specialist collaborates with Packaging Engineering, NA Supply Chain, Vehicle Regulatory Compliance, PDC site environmental compliance, Brand Marketing, Product Line Managers, and Finance, and oversees external consultants to ensure on‑time filings, audit‑ready documentation, and scalable reporting across states.

Key Responsibilities:

• EPR Reporting & Registrations: Prepare and submit state EPR filings; maintain producer registrations with PROs; track IDs, deadlines, attestations, and confirmations.
• Data Collection & Validation: Build and maintain item/SKU‑level packaging attributes (materials, weights, formats, recycled content). Reconcile tertiary packaging (pallets, wrap, corner boards) with PDC/plant teams.
• Systems & Analytics: Use internal data lakes, home‑grown packaging systems, SAP, Snowflake, mainframe extracts, and Power BI to create repeatable queries/dashboards for deadlines, data completeness, fee forecasting, and audit metrics.
• Supplier Engagement: Request and organize supplier packaging specifications and composition declarations; close data gaps and maintain evidence of compliance.
• Labeling & Claims Support: Coordinate with Packaging/Brand Marketing on recyclability/disposal statements and maintain versioned approvals and change history.
• Controls & Audit Readiness: Maintain document control (source files, calculations, approvals, correspondence); support internal/external audits and drive corrective actions to closure.
• Change Management: Track new/updated EPR rules, PRO guidance, fees, and due dates; update playbooks, calendars, templates, and stakeholder communications.
• Consultant Oversight: Assign tasks and review deliverables (data scrubs, filings, trackers) from external consultants for scope, quality, and timeliness.
• Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Partner with Packaging Engineering, NA Supply Chain, Vehicle Regulatory Compliance, PDC site environmental compliance, Brand Marketing, Product Line Managers, and Finance to embed EPR needs into design, sourcing, and go‑to‑market processes.
• Risk & Issue Management: Escalate compliance risks promptly; coordinate mitigation and contingency plans; maintain traceable decision logs.

Strategic Challenges (1–3 Years):

• Data Foundation at Scale: Strengthen master data and close supplier/PDC gaps to support multi‑state reporting and future program expansion.
• Standardized, Auditable Reporting: Mature templates, pipelines, and evidence packs to meet differing state methods with minimal rework.
• Cost & Design Feedback Loop: Translate fee drivers into simple analytics that inform packaging design and sourcing to reduce EPR fee exposure.
• Emerging State Programs: Monitor and operationalize new state laws, guidance documents, FAQs, and webinars; convert updates into filing calendars, data‑model changes, and targeted training for internal teams and consultants

General Expectations:

• Operate with professionalism, integrity, and strong documentation discipline; protect confidential information.
• Communicate clearly, plan proactively, and escalate early on risks to filings, data quality, or costs.
• Meet deadlines with high attention to detail; support continuous improvement of systems, processes, and internal controls.
• Work effectively on‑site across functions and time zones; travel to PDCs/suppliers as business needs dictate.
