This role manages the social responsibility standards across a diverse portfolio of home furnishing brands. You will be responsible for overseeing factory compliance, managing remediation plans, and ensuring that vendors meet strict ethical labor standards. Much of the daily work involves translating global corporate policies into actionable improvements on the factory floor through direct training and monitoring.
At a major retailer like Williams-Sonoma, this position is pivotal for protecting human rights within a complex global supply chain. By focusing on worker wellbeing and ethical sourcing, you directly influence the lives of thousands of people in manufacturing hubs. This is an opportunity to move beyond simple auditing and drive real, long-term systemic change through capacity building and vendor education.
This suits someone who possesses strong analytical skills and the cultural fluency to navigate international production regions. You should have a grounded understanding of labor laws and a genuine desire to improve industrial workplaces.
