Coca Cola seeks "corporate green washer"

Since I'll be graduating soon, I've been browsing through jobs in the area of business and sustainability.
One of my favorites so far was Coca Cola's Job description for a "Sustainability and Stakeholder Relations Manager"

Sounds interesting - right?
Seems to me though, that this is a job only looking to "green wash" Coca Colas initiatives.

Here are some Highlights found in the Job description:

The SSR Communications Manager is responsible for ensuring that the planning, development and delivery of the CCR Sustainability story is told to key media, associates and stakeholders across the country. (so far so good)

* Community and Special Interest Groups: Knowledge of community and special interest groups (e.g., objectives, leadership, methods) that have the potential to impact the Company's business or operating environment. Includes ability to influence these groups on behalf of the Company.
(influencing communities on behalf of the company - well... that sounds genuine...)

* Government Relations: Knowledge of how government is structured and understanding of how public policy decisions are made and implemented. Includes ability to communicate effectively with politicians.
(communicate effectively with politicians... well... lobbying would be the better word)

* Crisis Management: Knowledge of procedures used and ability to rapidly mobilize and manage internal and external resources to deal with situations that have the potential for severe negative impact on the Company's reputation or business.

* Work with Product Supply, Region Teams and AHL PAC colleagues to provide early-warning system and internal/external communications strategy and messages for potential negative issues.

interested?
good luck, and let me know how it turns out!!
