Sustainability & Compliance Manager, Derby based. £45,000–£65,000
Are you a Sustainability & Compliance Manager who enjoys getting under the skin of legislation, understanding what it means for a business and making sure the right processes are put in place?
This is a newly created opportunity for a hands-on Sustainability & Compliance Manager to take ownership of a growing compliance and sustainability remit within a successful international product-based business. Predominantly supporting print equipment, consumables and associated products, you will strengthen product compliance, supplier standards and sustainability across the business.
This is not a role for someone who wants to sit back and write strategy. As Sustainability & Compliance Manager, you will get involved, work across departments, keep ahead of changing legislation and turn complex requirements into practical actions.
