Woking, United Kingdom KFC UK & I - Corporate Affairs and Sustainability Full time

**_Welcome to KFC._**

Take one man with a big idea, add 11 herbs and spices, grit, ambition, and buckets of heart - you’ve got KFC.

Since 1939, we’ve been bringing finger lickin’ good chicken to the world, and today we’re proud to be in over 1000 communities across the UK & Ireland. But without our people, none of it would be possible. Just like our recipe, they’re all original.

Join us. Bring it. And together, we can be part of something truly extraordinary.

**_
Bringing it to the role._**

At KFC UK & Ireland, we are working towards becoming a Net Zero Carbon business. We are looking for an **Environmental** **Operations Executive** on a 9 month secondment to help us turn our plans into action on the ground across our 1,000 restaurants. If you’re an experienced and driven operations executive with a passion for the environment, then this is the role for you

We’re hungry to become a net zero carbon business by 2040. We’re currently working on our Net Zero Roadmap, and are developing key projects to help us decarbonise our restaurants.

You will work between our Sustainability and Operations team to implement programmes that will help us reduce our carbon emissions waste and water, to make our restaurants more sustainable.

This role will particularly suit someone with excellent relationship management skills. Being able to engage and influence our Operations, Development, and Restaurant Teams, as well as Franchisees, will be critical to the success of the role. The ability to communicate effectively, with impact, both verbally and in writing is essential.

**_
What you’ll do_**
- Support programmes to deliver our Net Zero Roadmap within our restaurants
- Implement a new recycling system within restaurants
- Support our food waste strategy, helping our restaurants prevent food from becoming waste, redistribute surplus food, and recycle food waste
- Implement programs to help our restaurant teams and customers reduce packaging waste and litter and maximize recycling
- Implement initiatives to help our restaurant teams use water more efficiently
- Track and measure progress to identify opportunities to make improvements on energy saving within our restaurants
- Liaise with external & internal stakeholders - including our franchise partners
- Develop content ideas for sustainability communications both for internal and external audiences
- Involvement in ad hoc cross functional projects
- Attend meetings, events and seminars, representing the business externally where relevant.
- Support the broader business strategy, providing timely and relevant content that will inform our approach across internal and external communications channels

**_
What we’d love from you_**

About You
- We’re looking for someone who is really enthusiastic and passionate about what they do. Fire us up with the potential for what we could achieve in this space
- This is a role that requires the ability to make an impact and influence diverse stakeholders. With our management team, Team Members in our restaurants, and our franchisees. You will need gravitas and credibility. You’ll also need to be a pragmatist; the process of making change at such scale will take time and there will undoubtedly be bumps along the road. This is not a role for someone who’s a purist who won’t compromise.
- It sounds trite but you’ll also really need to be a people person. You’ll need to be able to develop relationships across all functions of the business, and all levels, to find the right answers, or to get the help you need to deliver a project.
- You’ll have an understanding of the balance between the external pressures and demands of stakeholders - and the internal pressures of a commercial business

Experience
- 3 years+ experience in operational management
- Understanding of UK & Ireland environmental regulatory framework
- Experience of the food & drink sector would be helpful
- Excellent relationship management skills
- Superb project management capabilities
- Experience working within a complex organisational structure would be beneficial
- Ability to measure and report on progress
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, particularly to bring data to life and influence decisions
- Willingness to travel within the UK&I

**_
Be Original._**

At KFC, everyone gets a seat at our table. Since we landed in the UK in 1965, we’ve fed our people’s potential - to be their best selves, make a difference and have fun.

Because it’s not just what you do at KFC. It’s the way you do it. Unapologetically you, undeniably original.

You’ll work with colleagues who all bring their originality to the table: their energy, spirit and sizzle and make every day high flyin’ and high fryin’.

As a multi-billion-pound business with over 1000 restaurants, we take ambition seriously. You’ll be treated with respect and supported in everything you do as you roll up your sleeves and play your part in bringing
