Role Description
Sitting within the Responsible Sourcing Department, the Ireland Product Compliance Coordinator plays a key role in ensuring Dunelm products meet the regulatory and compliance requirements necessary to be legally sold in the Republic of Ireland. This role is responsible for managing the product ranges sold in Ireland, ensuring that no products are placed on the market without meeting the relevant legal and regulatory requirements. This includes reviewing and validating compliance documentation, identifying gaps in testing and certification requirements, and working closely with suppliers and internal stakeholders to ensure products remain compliant throughout their lifecycle.
A significant focus of the role is maintaining accurate compliance data, driving supplier engagement, and establishing efficient processes that support both current and future product launches in Ireland. This is a highly administrative and process-driven role that requires excellent attention to detail, strong organisational skills, and the ability to manage large volumes of product and supplier information. You will join a team focused on protecting the business from compliance risk, improving ways of working, and ensuring our products meet the expectations of regulators, customers and international markets.
