You will need to have a driving license and car. No sponsorship is available!
Some suppliers are great at pretending they’ve got everything under control.
You know better.
You’re the person who spots what others don’t and has the tact to call it out and get it fixed.
The job
This food business works with third-party manufacturers and suppliers. Your job is to make sure those companies live up to the brand’s standards legally, operationally, and reputationally.
Not just box-ticking. Actual oversight.
You’ll lead supplier audits, close out actions, review specs, analyse microbiological data, and make sure what’s on the label is what’s actually in the product.
The business is growing, so you won’t be inheriting legacy red tape. Instead, you’ll have the space to set the tone especially when it comes to driving compliance without being a compliance robot.
Why it’s worth your time
* You’ll own your area, no over-layered hierarchy.
* You’ll get to work with suppliers across different categories (so, variety).
* You’ll play a big part in product launches and have a direct line into NPD.
* You’ll work for a brand that actually takes technical seriously, this isn’t lip service.
* It’s site-based in Leicester, but there’s flexibility required as a part of this role will need you on the road at the 3rd party sites
What you’ll need
* A background in food manufacturing ideally in technical or supplier-facing roles
* Confidence to walk into a factory, ask hard questions, and build trust
* Experience with retailer standards, BRCGS, and all the usual suspects
* You’re comfortable reviewing specs, artwork, and micro data, not just completing audits
What now?
If you’ve done supplier audits and want to step into a role with autonomy (and without politics), this one’s worth a look.
Hit apply and I’ll be in touch from there. This role is being managed by a recruiter (that’s me). No companies will be named until we speak.
