The role

We're looking for an experienced Supply Chain Compliance & Sustainability Manager to lead our supply chain compliance and sustainability agenda across Five Guys UK and our European markets in France, Germany and Spain.

Reporting to the Head of Supply Chain, you'll play a key role in ensuring our supply chain meets current and emerging environmental and regulatory requirements, while helping turn our sustainability ambitions into practical, commercially focused projects.

This is a broad role covering everything from carbon reporting and environmental legislation to packaging, energy efficiency, responsible sourcing and climate resilience.

You'll work closely with teams across Five Guys and our supplier network to identify opportunities that reduce our environmental impact, lower costs and build a more resilient supply chain.

What you'll do

Leading supply chain compliance and sustainability activity across the UK, France, Germany and Spain.
Keeping Five Guys ahead of existing and emerging environmental and supply chain legislation, turning complex requirements into clear and practical actions.
Leading and improving our carbon footprint reporting across Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3.
Supporting sustainability and climate reporting and maintaining clear and auditable data.
Identifying and delivering projects that reduce emissions while saving money, improving service or strengthening supply chain resilience.
Leading energy-saving initiatives across the business and measuring their impact.
Partnering with suppliers on lower-carbon sourcing, packaging reduction, logistics efficiency and responsible sourcing.
Assessing climate-related risks across key products, suppliers, sourcing regions and logistics routes.
Working closely with Finance, Operations, Purchasing, Food Safety, Property and other teams to embed sustainability into everyday decision-making.
Providing clear updates and recommendations to senior stakeholders on compliance, sustainability, cost and supply chain risk.

BURGERS & FRIES AND INCREDIBLE CAREERS

We're the burger restaurant with the uncomplicated formula: burgers and fries cooked to perfection, with no frozen ingredients. We've stuck to the same "perfect and serve" philosophy since our family business began in 1986.

Today, we're still every bit the family business we started as. We're passionate about what we do, act with integrity, thrive on healthy competition, and always find a way to get the job done, whatever the challenge.

Why Five Guys

At Five Guys, we're passionate about creating incredible customer experiences and incredible careers.

As our Supply Chain Compliance & Sustainability Manager, you'll have the opportunity to make a tangible difference across our business, helping us navigate a changing regulatory environment while finding practical ways to reduce emissions, improve efficiency and strengthen the resilience of our supply chain.

If you're passionate about sustainability and equally excited by the commercial and operational impact it can have, we'd love to hear from you.
