A fast-growing premium health and wellness brand is looking for an experienced Technical & Compliance Manager to take ownership of its technical compliance function.

The business develops and supplies a broad range of nutritional supplements and is looking for someone who can provide clear, practical guidance across regulatory compliance, product claims, labelling, quality systems and supplier standards.

Writing, reviewing and maintaining SOPs, policies, specifications and technical documentation

Ensuring compliance with UK food supplement and labelling legislation

Reviewing product labels, nutritional information, health claims and marketing content

Supporting regulatory compliance throughout new product development

Providing clear compliance approval before products and campaigns are launched

Managing CAPA, complaints, investigations and continuous-improvement activity

Leading supplier approval, technical reviews and ongoing supplier compliance

Supporting internal, supplier and external audits

Maintaining relevant quality standards and certifications

Providing practical compliance advice across the wider business

Excellent attention to detail

The confidence to make clear and commercially practical compliance decisions

The ability to work effectively across NPD, Marketing, Operations and Supply Chain

Previous people-management experience is not essential. Technical credibility, attention to detail and the ability to take ownership are more important.

The opportunity

This is an opportunity to take ownership of a key function within a growing, purpose-led health and wellness business.

The package includes:

£50,000 to £60,000 salary
