Job description

Supplier Quality Assurance Specialist

Hertfordshire

£35k - £40k

Drive supplier compliance and quality with these products that millions love. Join as a Supplier Assurance Specialist and make an impact.

There’s a unique kind of rigour in food manufacturing. The pace. The precision. The pressure. And if you’re already working in FMCG, you know exactly what that means. From the first link in the supply chain to the final pack on the shelf, quality isn’t just a box to tick – it’s the foundation.

This is your opportunity to play a critical role in one of the industry’s most performance-driven environments – where operational integrity, supplier compliance, and audit readiness are business-critical. If you understand the technical nuance behind raw material assurance, third-party standards, and supplier risk management, this isn’t just another technical role. It’s a strategic one.

About the Role

As Supplier Assurance Specialist, you’ll be the technical gatekeeper of supplier integrity across a diverse and dynamic FMCG portfolio. You’ll ensure our supplier base – from primary ingredients to indirect materials – not only meets but exceeds internal standards and external regulations. From onboarding and auditing to documentation and performance monitoring, you’ll bring structure to complexity and rigour to compliance.

Reporting into Quality or Technical leadership (depending on the business structure), you’ll be a driving force behind continuous supplier improvement. Think root cause analysis, specification compliance, and collaborative corrective action – not endless box-ticking.

Candidate Profile

You’re already in a supplier assurance, quality, or technical compliance role within food production or FMCG – possibly from a background in raw materials, packaging, or co-manufacturing. You understand BRCGS, HACCP, VACCP, TACCP and supplier risk assessments like the back of your hand.

You’ll likely have a food science, technical or quality qualification, and you’re no stranger to working cross-functionally with procurement, NPD, or regulatory teams. Above all, you combine technical fluency with commercial awareness – balancing compliance with operational pace.

What’s on Offer

Exposure to a fast-paced, commercially ambitious FMCG environment

Influence over a critical area of the supply chain with measurable business impact

A business genuinely invested in ethical sourcing, sustainability, and quality

Ready to Take Ownership?

If you’re driven by purpose, precision, and the challenge of maintaining world-class standards across a complex supplier network, this is your next move. Apply now and take control of the standards that define industry-leading FMCG.
