Responsibilities
What does your working day look like?
No two days will be exactly the same. One day you may be reviewing customer requirements, updating a customer portal or working with internal teams to improve quality documentation. On another, you could be visiting a UK grower to conduct a compliance assessment and follow up on corrective actions.
You will also monitor relevant industry developments, including BRCGS updates, and make sure important changes are communicated across the organisation.

Manage customer portals and changes to customer policies and compliance requirements.
Review customer codes of practice and industry standards.

If you enjoy combining technical expertise with hands-on collaboration and want to contribute to maintaining high standards across our UK and EMEA operations, we would love to hear from you.
