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.

As Sustainability & Compliance Manager, you will:
  • Monitor UK and EU legislation and identify what changes mean for the business.
  • Build and improve product compliance processes.
  • Support CE/UKCA, product safety, REACH and chemical compliance.
  • Strengthen packaging compliance, EPR and supplier documentation.
  • Improve product traceability and technical files.
  • Work with international suppliers to obtain and maintain compliance information.
  • Support emerging regulations including DPP, ESPR and PPWR.
  • Develop measurable sustainability goals and support carbon reporting.
  • Improve ESG information and customer sustainability responses.
  • Lead cross-functional compliance and sustainability projects.
We are looking for a Sustainability & Compliance Manager with:
  • Around 5–7 years’ experience in compliance, sustainability or regulatory affairs.
  • Experience within manufacturing, consumer products, engineering, equipment or another product-led environment.
  • Strong knowledge of UK and EU product compliance.
  • Experience interpreting legislation and turning it into workable processes.
  • Experience working with international suppliers and supply chains.
  • Strong project management and stakeholder management skills.
  • A practical, hands-on approach with excellent attention to detail.
This Sustainability & Compliance Manager role would suit someone who enjoys solving problems, driving change and building something rather than simply maintaining an established function.
