* Data & Reporting - Trend non-conformance data, monitor KPIs, and lead supplier-approval critical-path meetings to drive continual improvement.
* Operating Ethically - Work with our Ethical Lead to ensure supplier compliance with SMETA, Fairtrade, RFA, SIZA and other ethical-sourcing standards.
What You'll Bring
* Degree in Food Science, Agriculture, Agronomy, Environmental Science, or Sustainability (or equivalent experience).
* Strong understanding of UK food-safety and quality systems, ideally within fresh produce.
* Hands-on experience in technical or quality roles and confidence using systems such as Prophet, Foods Connected, or Food Experts.
* Excellent organisation and time-management skills, with the ability to prioritise and meet deadlines.
* A collaborative, positive approach and clear, confident communication.
