About the Role

This isn't your average compliance role. We are looking for an energetic, commercially savvy Product Compliance Manager to champion safety, quality, and regulatory excellence across our entire product lifecycle.

In this pivotal role, you will lead and evolve our core product compliance framework while coordinating our wider corporate compliance function. Working shoulder-to-shoulder with our leadership team and dynamic departments—from Product and Purchasing to Legal and the leadership team—you will bridge the gap between complex global regulations and our ambitious commercial growth.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Championing Product Compliance: Taking total ownership of our product compliance framework to ensure every item we bring to market meets rigorous UK and international safety standards.

• Leading Supply-Chain Compliance: Taking ownership of supplier governance across our UK and international supply base, including setting compliance standards, overseeing supplier audits and managing supply-chain risks.

• Guiding Our Corporate Rhythm: Acting as the key player for our wider compliance function, keeping all regulatory workstreams perfectly aligned as our business expands.

• Partnering with Suppliers: Building fantastic relationships with our domestic and international supplier base, overseeing audits, reviewing technical documentation, and driving continuous improvement.

• Navigating Challenges: Taking a proactive, hands-on approach to investigations, product safety considerations, and corrective actions.

• Collaborating Across Teams: Partnering with key stakeholders to embed compliance seamlessly into the product lifecycle with practical, business-friendly solutions.

• Inspiring a Safety Culture: Delivering engaging training that empowers colleagues and promotes a proactive culture of quality and compliance.

What You Bring (Essential Skills & Experience)

• Substantial background leading product & supply-chain compliance within a retail, manufacturing, or consumer products environment.

• Experience coordinating or managing broader compliance functions alongside specialised product remits.

• Deep knowledge of UK product safety legislation combined with a sharp eye for horizon scanning and translating regulatory shifts into business solutions.

• A strong track record of developing and embedding robust compliance and governance frameworks.

• Confidence working with international suppliers, conducting audits, and managing corrective action programmes.

• Outstanding communication and presentation skills, with the ability to engage and influence stakeholders right up to the C-suite.

Even Better If You Have...

• Experience with EU and wider international product compliance.

• A background in online retail and own-brand product development.

• Familiarity with packaging, recycling, and environmental product compliance.

What’s in It for You?

Joining us means stepping into a vibrant, high-energy environment where your voice matters. You’ll have the autonomy to make your mark, collaborate with brilliant people, and play a crucial role in our ongoing success story.
