About the Role

This is a key technical role focused primarily on compliance, supplier management, and raw materials expertise. You will play a central part in ensuring the quality, safety, and integrity of our raw materials, supporting both customer expectations and internal standards.

While predominantly office-based, you will develop strong relationships with both suppliers and internal teams, and you'll have opportunities for meaningful factory interaction.

  • Act as deputy to the Raw Materials Manager, providing technical leadership and expertise.
  • Own daily supplier engagement, including specification approval, performance monitoring, and routine communication.
  • Lead and participate in weekly supplier meetings, KPI reviews, and raw material-related discussions.
  • Conduct supplier visits to assess compliance, address issues, and support continuous improvement.
  • Support NPD teams with raw material input, including sample reviews and approvals.
  • Provide technical guidance on raw material issues, working cross-functionally to resolve challenges.
  • Assist with inbound goods concerns and ensure that raw materials meet all technical and customer requirements.
  • Work closely with factory teams as required, acting as the in-house expert for raw materials.

About You

We're looking for someone who:

  • Has strong experience in raw materials within the food manufacturing sector (essential).
  • Understands technical compliance, specifications, and supplier management.
  • Can quickly build knowledge across a wide range of materials and categories.
  • Communicates confidently with suppliers, customers, and internal teams.
  • Is highly organised, proactive, and able to balance multiple priorities.
  • Enjoys a role centred on compliance and supplier interaction more than factory-floor activity.

Benefits

* Up to 33 days Annual Leave including Bank Holidays

* Health Assured Employee Assistance Programme and Grocery Aid, offering confidential support services 365 days a year

* Company Pension Scheme

* Boparan Restaurant Group Discount

* Cycle2Work Scheme
