Senior Compliance Manager

As Senior Compliance Manager, you’ll play a key role in ensuring Premier Foods and its subsidiaries meet their legal, regulatory and corporate governance obligations. You’ll take ownership of our legal compliance programme, helping to develop policies, strengthen controls, monitor regulatory change, and support the business in managing compliance risk effectively. 

You’ll work closely with colleagues across the business, including Legal, Risk & Controls, Internal Audit, senior leaders and key stakeholders, providing practical advice and helping to embed a proactive, ethical and commercially aware approach to compliance. 

• Leading and developing the company’s legal compliance programme, including policies and controls covering Competition, Prevention of Fraud, GDPR, Sanctions, and Anti-Bribery and Corruption.
• Monitoring compliance with laws, regulations and internal policies, and advising the business on new and changing national and international regulatory requirements. 
• Reviewing marketing materials, presentations and websites to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. 
• Managing the sanctions checking process, acting as an escalation point and resolving issues where needed.
• Assessing business processes, transactions and documents to identify potential compliance weaknesses and risks, working with Risk & Controls and Internal Audit.
• Supporting monitoring and audit activity, investigating reported or suspected non-compliance, and assisting with information gathering in response to regulatory requests.
• Creating reports for the ELT, Audit Committee and Board on compliance performance, risk and findings.
• Developing plans to manage potential compliance crises or violations before they become wider issues. 
• Championing a strong compliance culture, promoting ethical conduct and helping the business avoid legal, financial and reputational risk

We’re looking for someone who is proactive, practical and confident working in a fast-paced business environment. You’ll bring proven compliance experience, ideally gained in-house within a similar organisation, along with strong knowledge of corporate regulations including Anti-Bribery, Competition, Sanctions, Data Protection and Prevention of Fraud. 

You’ll also need excellent analytical skills, strong attention to detail, and the ability to assess risk and develop effective solutions. Just as importantly, you’ll be a confident communicator who can build relationships and influence colleagues and stakeholders at all levels.

A relevant compliance qualification would be highly desirable, and we’ll be looking for someone who shares Premier Foods’ high standards, hands-on approach, and commitment to continually finding better ways of doing things.

• Up to 7.5% pension
• Private medical insurance and life assurance
• Hybrid working (50% home / 50% office or site)
