Poultry Technical Manager

A rare opportunity for an experienced poultry technical expert to use their production or supply chain expertise to influence the standards that shape and define the UK poultry sector.

As Poultry Technical Manager, you will act as the organisation's in house expert on the poultry sector, using your technical knowledge and industry insight to develop standards and guidance that are practical, credible and fit for purpose.

You will ensure these standards continue to evolve in line with industry developments, emerging challenges and changing consumer expectations, helping the scheme remain current, realistic and respected across the sector.

A key part of the role will be representing the scheme across the wider poultry supply chain. You will work closely with producers, processors and other stakeholders to promote understanding of the scheme, gather insight from the sector, and ensure the organisation remains closely aligned with a fast moving poultry industry.

• Collaborate with colleagues and partner organisations to support assurance delivery and compliance, improving processes, driving efficiency and responding to specific issues as needed
• Maintain and develop knowledge as a respected, technical expert for the sector

Hybrid working:
