As the Sustainability Manager, you will serve as a primary architect for the sustainability framework of the Food Ingredients division during its transition into a standalone entity. You will be responsible for building governance structures from the ground up, ensuring that data ownership, internal controls, and reporting calendars are robust enough to meet both regulatory demands and leadership expectations. Your daily focus will involve managing the responsible sourcing roadmap and aligning procurement activities with global environmental standards.
This role is critical because it bridges the gap between high-level corporate ESG goals and the granular complexities of food supply chains. By navigating regulations like the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), you directly influence how millions of pounds of raw materials are sourced, impacting biodiversity and supplier equity at a global scale. It is a rare chance to bake sustainability into the DNA of a newly independent business.
This suits someone who possesses a strong analytical mind for ESG data management and the interpersonal tact to influence procurement teams. You should be comfortable operating in a matrixed, multinational environment where regulatory landscapes shift rapidly.
