[Hiring] Implementation Program Lead - Traceability & Responsible Sourcing @Inspectorio

Role Description

As global supply chains face increasing regulatory scrutiny, sustainability mandates, and rising expectations for transparency, the ability to implement and embed effective traceability and responsible sourcing programmes has become a strategic imperative for brands and retailers worldwide. Inspectorio is seeking an Implementation Program Lead - Traceability & Responsible Sourcing to join our Implementations & Solutions team. This is a senior individual contributor role for a domain expert who combines deep knowledge of global supply-chain traceability and responsible sourcing with the ability to guide enterprise customers through complex programme implementation and long-term adoption.

The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience running or advising on multi-tier traceability programmes, a strong understanding of the evolving global regulatory landscape, and the credibility to act as a trusted subject-matter expert for both customers and internal teams. This role operates across the full programme lifecycle — from implementation through to sustained adoption — and serves as a critical bridge between our customers' operational realities and Inspectorio's platform capabilities.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in supply-chain traceability, responsible sourcing programme management, supply-chain sustainability, or a closely related field — with direct, hands-on experience designing or advising on multi-tier traceability programmes.
• Strong knowledge of the global regulatory landscape governing supply-chain transparency and responsible sourcing, including deforestation regulations (e.g. EUDR), supply-chain due diligence laws, and sector-specific compliance frameworks.
• Experience in at least one traceability-adjacent domain: forest-risk commodity sourcing, leather and materials traceability, food and agriculture chain-of-custody, textile fibre traceability, or equivalent.
• Demonstrated ability to diagnose adoption challenges in enterprise programme rollouts and design practical, supplier- and operations-level interventions that drive measurable change.
• Experience facilitating workshops, advisory sessions, or programme reviews with enterprise-level supply-chain, compliance, or procurement stakeholders.
• Strong communicator and trusted advisor: able to engage credibly at executive level while remaining grounded in operational reality.
• Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, global, remote-first environment across EMEA and Americas time zones.
• Fluent English; additional languages a plus.

Requirements

• Direct experience with regulatory due-diligence system design or compliance-response programmes at a brand, retailer, standards body, or certification organisation.
• Familiarity with sector-specific certification and standards frameworks: LWG, ZDHC, GOTS, FSC, RSPO, SBTi, or equivalent.
• Experience with supply-chain technology platforms — traceability, risk management, supplier compliance, or ESG — in a customer-facing, consulting, or implementation capacity.
• Understanding of product lifecycle management (PLM) processes and how PLM intersects with traceability, materials sourcing, and responsible sourcing programme design.
• Background in management consulting with a supply-chain, sustainability, or regulatory compliance practice.
• Experience contributing to industry working groups, regulatory comment processes, or sustainability coalitions.
