CR MATERIAL & CHEMICAL COMPLIANCE SPECIALISTMake sure our materials are safe, compliant and built for circular impact. Lijnden | Corporate Responsibility | 20–24 hours | Part-time (perm)
At Just Brands, we build menswear brands with character. PME Legend, Cast Iron and Vanguard each have their own voice, their own audience and their own place in the market. Behind strong product sits a supply chain that’s not only efficient, but responsible. Materials, chemicals and regulations are moving fast and the expectations around circularity are rising just as quickly. This role sits right where product reality meets ESG ambition: making sure what we make is safe, compliant and designed to reduce impact over time.
But what really sets us apart is how we work together.
We’re a team-first business. No ego, no unnecessary layers, no endless talking, no corporate theatre. We back each other, speak up, take ownership and keep pushing for better. We work hard, stay sharp and make sure there’s room to enjoy the ride too.
That’s where you come in.
Why this role mattersThis is where compliance becomes real product change. As our CR Material & Chemical Compliance Specialist, for 20 - 24 hours a week, you own the chemical compliance framework across our supply chain and help drive circular material principles into the way we design and develop product. You are the key point of contact for product-related ESG topics around chemical risk, material impact and circular design principles like durability, repairability and recyclability. You are not here to write policies that sit on a shelf.
You are here to set clear standards and make sure circularity shows up in real product decisions.
