The successful candidate will be responsible for setting and executing a 1, 3, and 5-year strategy across the portfolio, with a strong focus on safety, quality, and sustainability. Key accountabilities include lifting safety standards, leading a cultural shift, and raising the profile of quality across multiple sites and a global supplier network. The role also involves overseeing sustainability initiatives such as responsible sourcing, packaging, and modern slavery compliance. Applicants for the Head of Quality, Safety, and Sustainability role at the company should have a background in food manufacturing, with a strong technical grounding in food safety and quality.
