Looking to lead quality, sustainability, and ethical sourcing in a role with real influence and flexibility?

Make your mark in a role that matters You’ll lead on all technical and compliance matters, including BRCGS and MSC audits, HACCP/VACCP/TACCP systems, supplier approval, and internal audits. You’ll ensure that both customer and legal standards are not just met but exceeded.

• In-depth understanding of food safety, legality, and HACCP principles
• Experience with product specification completion
• Familiarity with customer platforms, such as Quadex or similar
• Ideally, some auditing experience (internal or external)

What you’ll get:

• Competitive salary of up to £50,000, depending on experience
• Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm
• Hybrid working – based in the Sevenoaks office Monday to Thursday, with Fridays working from home
• 20 days holiday plus 8 bank holidays, with gifted leave between Christmas and New Year
• Free on-site parking
• Smart-casual dress code
