The company is led with strong values and ethics, which have been crucial in our success as a leading paper company in the UK. We therefore seek a forward-thinking, analytically sound individual who also showcases the same values that the company strives for.

Serving a wide range of industries including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, luxury drinks and e-commerce, paper touches every ecosystem. PG Paper connects global markets, buying and selling where opportunity demands.

Ready for a career at PG Paper? We have a new, exciting opportunity for a Compliance Officer to work within our team based in Greenock.

About the Role

We have an exciting new opportunity for a Compliance Officer to join our team. This is a hands-on role ideal for someone who’s confident managing documentation, takes pride in detail, and is ready to take ownership of key compliance and sustainability processes across the business.

You’ll play a vital role in coordinating regulatory compliance and supplier due diligence, managing documentation workflows, and supporting environmental initiatives – including carbon reporting and helping us work towards our Net Zero goals.

Who You Are

You’re someone who takes ownership, is naturally organised, and brings a structured approach to your work. You communicate clearly, and enjoy making complex processes run more smoothly.

You enjoy the mix of practical task work and bigger-picture thinking — one moment reviewing supplier data, the next planning how to improve our sustainability metrics. You’re process-driven, detail-focused, and genuinely interested in how responsible business can make a difference.

Why This Role Matters – Key Responsibilities

As Compliance Officer, you will:

• Coordinate documentation and supplier due diligence across our global operations
• Track and manage business-wide compliance data and ensure internal systems remain accurate and audit-ready
• Liaise with internal departments and external suppliers to support our sourcing standards and risk management efforts
• Coordinate carbon reporting across the business and contribute to the development and delivery of our carbon reduction strategy
• Help build and maintain a clear roadmap for our Net Zero and environmental commitments
• Support internal improvements and contribute to building a smarter, more sustainable compliance process

To excel in this role, you’ll need a solid foundation in compliance, sustainability or supply chain operations, along with a proactive mindset and strong attention to detail.

• Prior experience managing compliance or sustainability data, or working in a supply chain support role
• Familiarity with emissions tracking and reporting processes
• Understanding of due diligence, regulatory or responsible sourcing requirements
• Excellent organisational and administrative skills, with a methodical approach to managing documentation
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to interpret and manage detailed data sets
• Comfortable working with digital tools
• Clear communicator, confident working with suppliers and internal stakeholders
• Self-motivated and reliable, with the ability to manage tasks independently
• Naturally curious, solution-focused and confident identifying and implementing improvements
• A genuine interest in environmental responsibility and building a more sustainable future
