EPR Compliance Manager

We’re in an unbelievably exciting area of tech and are fundamentally reshaping the data storage industry. Here, you lead with innovative thinking, grow along with us, and join the smartest team in the industry.

This type of work—work that changes the world—is what the tech industry was founded on. So, if you're ready to seize the endless opportunities and leave your mark, come join us.

THE ROLE

We are seeking an experienced EPR Compliance Manager to lead our global compliance strategy across packaging, electronics, and batteries. This highly collaborative and cross-functional role ensures that Pure Storage remains fully compliant with evolving international EPR regulations while also advancing our sustainability, circular economy, and Impact Weighted Accounting (IWA) commitments. You will serve as the internal subject matter expert, bridging regulatory requirements with teams across the organization, and with external partners including Producer Responsibility Organizations (PROs) and regulatory authorities.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Lead Global Compliance: Take full ownership of our global EPR compliance program for electronic waste, packaging, and batteries. This includes managing all aspects of registration, reporting, audits, and fee payments to PROs and national authorities across multiple international jurisdictions.
• Drive Strategic Impact: Apply Impact Weighted Accounting (IWA) methodologies to quantify the financial and environmental value of our recycling, reuse, recovery, and disposal efforts. Partner with finance, product teams, and supply chain to establish metrics and integrate into our sustainability reporting and disclosures, and executive decision-making.
• Manage Risk and Change: Proactively monitor and interpret emerging global EPR legislation to assess business impacts and lead change management efforts. This involves integrating new regulatory requirements into our product design, packaging development, and supply chain practices.
• We are primarily an in-office environment and therefore, you will be expected to work from the Santa Clara office in compliance with Pure’s policies, unless you are on PTO, or work travel, or other approved leave.

WHAT YOU BRING

• Expert Knowledge: A deep understanding of global EPR regulations, including directives like the EU WEEE Directive, Packaging Waste regulations, and Battery Waste mandates.
• Program Management Excellence: Proven ability to manage complex, multi-jurisdictional compliance programs. You have a track record of successfully overseeing registrations, reporting, and audits with regulatory authorities and PROs.
• Strategic & Analytical Thinking: Experience applying impact measurement frameworks such as Impact Weighted Accounting (IWA), ESG metrics, or lifecycle assessments to translate compliance efforts into measurable business value.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: The ability to effectively partner with diverse teams—from engineering and product development to legal and finance—and external stakeholders to embed compliance and sustainability into the organization's core operations.
