Director of Environmental Health & Safety; EH&S

Director of Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S)

The Gund Company is searching for an experienced Director of Environmental Health & Safety to lead the next chapter of our global EH&S strategy. As we continue to grow, expand operations, and strengthen our global footprint, we need a visionary leader who can transform a strong foundation into a world-class EH&S organization.

This is not a role for someone who simply wants to administer compliance. This is an opportunity for a builder. A leader who sees around corners. Someone who can develop enterprise standards, create scalable systems, influence executive decisions, strengthen safety culture, and leave a lasting impact on employees across the globe.

With a planned leadership transition and increasing focus on sustainability, growth, and operational excellence, the next Director of EH&S will play a critical role in shaping how safety and environmental stewardship evolve across The Gund Company for years to come.

What You Will Build

• A unified global EH&S strategy that supports a growing manufacturing organization.
• Enterprise-wide safety standards, governance processes, and accountability systems.
• A culture where safety is not a program, but a leadership expectation.
• Scalable compliance and risk management systems that support future growth and acquisitions.
• Robust environmental and sustainability initiatives that position the company for long-term success.
• The next generation of EH&S talent and leadership capability across the organization.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

• Direct partnership with executive leadership.
• Ability to shape the company's global EH&S vision and roadmap.
• Opportunity to modernize systems, analytics, and reporting capabilities.
• Exposure to international operations and acquisition integration activities.
• Significant influence on employee safety, environmental stewardship, and business performance.
• The chance to take a respected, established program and elevate it to the next level.

The Leader We Are Looking For

You thrive in complex manufacturing environments. You've led EH&S across multiple sites, influenced leaders without formal authority, and successfully balanced operational needs with regulatory requirements. More importantly, you know how to create buy-in, drive accountability, and build systems that last.

You bring:

• Multi-site manufacturing EH&S leadership experience.
• Experience building and executing enterprise wide EH&S strategies.
• Expertise in compliance, risk management, and safety management systems.
• Strong business acumen and executive communication skills.
• Experience leading geographically dispersed teams.
• A track record of improving safety culture and organizational performance.
• Experience supporting acquisitions, integrations, and organizational growth initiatives.
