We’re looking for a Supply Chain Regulatory Compliance Manager to lead our approach to emerging UK and EU regulatory requirements across the Booker supply chain.

- Acting as the business expert for regulatory requirements impacting Booker operations, including EUDR, Windsor Framework obligations and the NI Retail Movement Scheme.
- Monitoring emerging UK and EU legislation and assessing potential impacts across the supply chain.
- Partnering with colleagues across Supply Chain, Trading, Technical and Technology teams to deliver compliant and sustainable solutions.

- Supporting compliance across EU facing product ranges and supply routes.
- Managing legal routing requirements and ensuring processes align with regulatory obligations.
- Maintaining compliance within business systems, including SAP and specialist compliance platforms.
- Providing guidance on areas such as ingredients, product labelling and certification requirements.
- Ensuring data accuracy and governance standards are maintained.
- Acting as a key contact for regulatory stakeholders, including Tesco Group teams, government bodies and third party partners.
- Representing Booker in industry forums and working groups relating to regulatory change.
You’ll be naturally curious, commercially aware and comfortable working with a wide range of stakeholders. You’ll enjoy navigating ambiguity, simplifying complex information and turning insights into actions that make a real difference.
You’ll also have:
- Experience working within compliance, supply chain, logistics, technical, regulatory or a related business function.
- Strong analytical and problem solving skills with the ability to interpret and challenge data.
- Experience influencing and collaborating with stakeholders at all levels.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex topics in a simple and engaging way.
- A proactive mindset and passion for continuous improvement.
- Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
