Are you passionate about driving real, measurable sustainability impact in the food industry?
Our client, a leading Irish food manufacturer, is seeking a Sustainability Lead to shape and deliver their sustainability strategy across operations, packaging, energy, and community initiatives.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to influence how a large-scale food business operates today - and how it protects tomorrow.
The Opportunity
You'll take ownership of the company's sustainability goals and lead cross-functional teams to deliver against them. You'll develop data-led insights, coordinate key certification programmes, and represent the business with customers and external partners.
Your work will help reduce environmental impact, embed a culture of responsibility, and drive continuous improvement across the business.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead and deliver all Sustainability Goals across the organisation.
* Chair the Sustainability Working Group and Champion Network, driving engagement and accountability.
* Build a data-driven framework to identify opportunities and measure performance.
* Represent the business in sustainability discussions with customers and key stakeholders.
* Manage and report on Origin Green, Repak, and ISO & programmes.
* Drive Green Lean and continuous improvement projects to improve efficiency and reduce waste.
* Support marketing and communications with sustainability data and stories.
* Introduce biodiversity and community initiatives across sites.
* Lead funding applications for sustainability and energy projects.
About You
You're an enthusiastic and technically minded sustainability professional who thrives on collaboration and measurable progress.
What you'll bring:
* Degree in Sustainability, Environmental Science, or related discipline.
* 2+ years' experience in a sustainability, environmental, or technical role within the food sector.
* Strong project management, compliance, and reporting skills.
* Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement ability.
* A proactive mindset with passion for continuous improvement.
* Eligible to work in Ireland (some travel may be required).
Why Apply?
Join a forward-thinking food business where sustainability is not a checkbox - it's at the core of the culture. You'll have the autonomy and leadership support to implement meaningful change and create lasting impact.
