Regulatory & Compliance Technologist

Hey! We're Huel, and we're pleased to meet you

Our culture thrives on high performance, and we set the bar high for new Hueligans who join us.

Our customers deserve the best, and we want every Huel product they enjoy to feel first‑class. To make that happen, we're hiring a Regulatory & Compliance Technologist who can help keep our product quality and consistency spot on. You'll be checking everything from raw materials to finished products across our global co‑manufacturers and our Huel MK site. If you want to bring your experience to a passionate, fast‑moving brand, and keep growing yourself, this is a great opportunity.

You will uphold high standards and drive continuous improvement, championing product reliability, reducing risk, and spotting issues early. Using strong relationships across the business, you'll help deliver quick, effective solutions and won't hesitate to speak up when you see a better way of doing things.

This role sits within the UK Technical Team, protecting our products and brand. You'll split your time between our Tring HQ and our Milton Keynes manufacturing site, working closely with the wider Huel Technical Team and supporting our US and global Operations teams when needed.

• Manage the testing schedule for finished products across co‑manufacturers and Huel Factory, taking appropriate action on finished goods – controlling food safety, allergens, heavy metals and any other risks to the business
• Review and support risk assessment on micro & allergen testing, working collaboratively with Head of Technical and Ingredients Technical Manager
• Support with raw material and sampling testing schedules

• Review existing products for annual renewal and complete new product applications

You'll ideally have some knowledge and exposure to accreditations such as (but not limited to) BRC, SQF (GFSI), Kosher, Halal, Organic, Non‑GMO & NSF. You'll also need to be:

• Analytical and driven to get the job done with reliability
• Ok with challenge culture: question ideas & ways of working not only within regulatory & compliance, but within the Technical team
• Thorough understanding of food safety criteria, necessity for challenge and risk reduction
• Strong understanding of food legislation and food manufacturing standards
• Experience with risk assessment, UK/EU and US allergens, heavy metals, and micro
• Ability to build strong relationships, including negotiation and influence with suppliers and manufacturers where required
