At Lyle & Scott, we recognise that all success starts with people.
We welcome creativity and value individuals passionate about delivering a strong performance. We are a privately owned British brand with over 150 years of history and a reputation for crafting high-quality clothing. We are a brand with true authenticity, heritage and expertise that is recognised throughout the world.
We are looking for an experienced Compliance & Product Sustainability Specialist to join our Product, Sourcing & Production team on a six-month fixed-term contract. This is an exciting opportunity to help shape the future of compliance within Lyle & Scott during a period of significant regulatory change.
This is a hands-on implementation role, ideal for someone who enjoys building processes, solving problems and working collaboratively with teams and suppliers. Rather than simply advising on compliance, you will take ownership of implementing new regulatory requirements, completing customer and country-specific compliance documentation, developing practical ways of working and embedding compliance into our day-to-day operations.
Working alongside our Product and Sourcing & Production teams, you will play a key role in ensuring Lyle & Scott remains compliant with evolving UK, EU and US legislation whilst coaching and training the existing teams, leaving the business with the capability to confidently manage compliance beyond the duration of the contract.
If you are a proactive, organised and commercially minded compliance professional who enjoys implementing change and working collaboratively across multiple teams, we'd love to hear from you.
