Job Purpose
The role of Environmental & Sustainability Compliance Manager is a critical new position within the Radius Sustainability & ESG team. We are seeking an experienced compliance professional with a broad understanding of sustainability legislation to take ownership of our Environmental Management System (ISO14001), lead environmental compliance activity across the Group, and play a pivotal role in ensuring Radius meets its growing obligations across sustainability reporting, environmental management, mobility and automotive regulation, and energy and EV-related legislation.
The regulatory landscape facing Radius is expanding rapidly. As a multi-product, multi-geography business operating across fuel cards, telematics, telecoms, insurance, vehicle solutions and energy, Radius is subject to an increasingly complex matrix of sustainability and environmental obligations. This role exists to ensure those obligations are understood, monitored and met - proactively and systematically.
An immediate priority is preparing the business for the new ISO14001:2026 standard, while broadening EMS coverage across UK operations.  In parallel, the role will develop a Group-wide picture of sustainability compliance obligations - spanning environmental management, sustainability reporting, automotive and mobility regulation, and energy and EV legislation - ensuring Radius is never caught off-guard by emerging requirements.
The role reports directly to the Climate Change & Environment Manager and works closely with the wider Sustainability & ESG team and Group functions such as Facilities, Legal, Risk & Compliance and Finance functions and with our different Business Units across the globe.
Your responsibilities day to day will be:
Environmental Compliance & EMS
Take overarching responsibility for the Environmental Management System (EMS), ensuring compliance with ISO14001 and managing all associated programmes, policies and procedures across Group companies

Manage environmental compliance registers for UK and Ireland, with a view to expanding coverage progressively to other key markets
Liaise with environmental regulatory authorities and local stakeholders regarding environmental issues and incidents where necessary
Environmental and Sustainability Reporting Compliance

Lead and ensure the Sustainability & ESG Team meets all mandatory sustainability reporting deadlines
Work with business divisions and countries on their specific environmental and sustainability compliance requirements, interpreting and applying a growing body of UK, European and international environmental and sustainability law
Engagement and Site Accountability
Manage site-level engagement and activation across the EMS, maintaining central accountability whilst ensuring sites remain responsible for their own performance
Establish a regular cadence of site contact across all EMS-scope sites, moving away from audit-only engagement to an ongoing compliance culture
Create site-level and business unit-level self-auditing processes to help sites identify, monitor and improve their compliance position
Work with the Climate Change and Environment Manager as a business partner to support the operational divisions across Radius, with general sustainability related initiatives.

Risk & Opportunities
Establish and champion a three-line defence model for environmental and sustainability compliance risk / opportunities, working in partnership with the Risk & Compliance Team
Develop and maintain an environmental risk management register and implement appropriate controls
Reporting
Collate site-level EMS performance and compliance reporting for the Sustainability Steering Committee on a quarterly basis
Provide regular updates on the broader sustainability compliance landscape to the S&ESG team and senior stakeholders
Training
