Welcome to KFC.
Take one man with a big idea, add 11 herbs and spices, grit, ambition, and buckets of heart – you’ve got KFC.
Since 1939, we’ve been bringing finger lickin’ good chicken to the world, and today we’re proud to be in over 1000 communities across the UK & Ireland. But without our people, none of it would be possible. Just like our recipe, they’re all original.
Join us. Bring it. And together, we can be part of something truly extraordinary.
Bringing it to the role.
At KFC UK & Ireland, we have made bold commitments within the ESG space and are ambitious in our plans to be a business that does things ‘The Right Way’. Due to the growing need for expertise in this area, we are looking for a Sustainability Projects manager to support us in turning these goals into strategies and actions.
As part of the Corporate Affairs and Sustainability Team, you will champion our commitment to sustainability and ESG matters. With the support of the Head of Sustainability, you will ensure that our sustainability projects across the business are aligned with our Sustainability and Net Zero goals. You will be key in developing and managing programs that will help us reduce our carbon emissions, deliver our packaging commitments, and reduce our waste across the whole of our business.
This role will particularly suit someone with a background within the ESG space with excellent project management and relationship-building skills. You will require superb project management capabilities to make sure everything stays on track and be able to measure and report on progress
You may need to represent the business from time to time at forums and meetings with and coordinate the internal and external stakeholders in this space too. As such the ability to communicate effectively, with impact, both verbally and in writing is essential.
Reporting to our Head of Sustainability, you will be part of a small but growing sustainability team. The role sits within the corporate affairs and sustainability team. Over time there will be the potential for this role to take on direct reports.
This role will have a huge impact on the future of the brand – a brand that has real ambition to grow but to also do the right thing, and to make a difference to society.
There’s one more important thing to say about KFC.. this is a fun place to work. Our culture is unique. We are not looking for a dry corporate ‘suit’. Yes, you’ll need to be super smart and totally engaged in the debate around sustainability and responsible business. And this is a business full of bright people who like to get stuff done. But we also love a chicken pun and don’t take ourselves too seriously.
What you’ll do
Proactively lead and manage programs on Waste reduction, KFC Net Zero Roadmap, food and packaging
What we’d love from you
