Job Description
Full-Time • Travel Included (UK & International)
Join a leading force in fresh produce supply, working with global growers and top UK retailers.
Are you passionate about delivering exceptional product quality, building strong technical relationships, and championing food safety, sustainability and ethical sourcing?
This is your chance to join a well-established fresh-produce importer and distributor that supplies major UK retailers and works closely with growers around the world.
Why You’ll Love This Role
You’ll be at the heart of the technical function—connecting growers, packhouses, exporters, and retail customers to ensure products meet the highest standards.

What You’ll Be Doing
* Managing supplier requirements and maintaining customer-aligned due diligence
* Keeping approved supplier and grower lists up to date
* Owning product specifications across your category
* Driving ethical, sustainability and food safety compliance across the supply base
* Conducting audits, site visits and implementing corrective action plans
* Monitoring supplier performance and leading seasonal improvement reviews
* Providing rapid feedback and solutions on live quality issues
* Coordinating trial work, sampling and benchmarking activity
* Managing customer systems including certifications, packaging, grower lists and specifications
* Supporting HACCP, TACCP, VACCP and wider food safety risk assessments
* Representing the business professionally at meetings and industry forums
What You’ll Bring
* Experience in fresh produce, supply chain, food technical, or a similar field
* A solid understanding of crop husbandry or a passion to learn
* Strong communication skills and the confidence to collaborate with growers and retailers
* A proactive mindset with a keen eye for detail and quality
* Willingness to travel in the UK and internationally
What’s in It for You
* The chance to work with a respected industry leader
* Opportunities for travel, learning and career development
* A supportive team culture and exposure to exciting category innovations
