Responsible Sourcing Manager
Life tastes better with ice cream
With 19.000 expert ice cream colleagues and iconic brands like Wall’s, Cornetto and Ben & Jerry’s, loved in 76 countries, we are the world’s largest Ice Cream company leading the industry.
We create iconic ice cream brands that are part of everyday life, bringing moments of joy to millions of people around the world. Everybody loves ice cream. And as the world’s biggest pure‑play ice cream company, we have the scale and ambition to make a real difference.
What Truly Sets Us Apart Is How We Work.

The role
What's ice cream without great ingredients?
The vanilla that delivers a distinctive flavour. The cocoa that creates the perfect Magnum chocolate crack. The dairy that gives our products their texture and indulgence. Behind every scoop, cone and stick sits a global network of farmers, suppliers, certification bodies and partners helping to bring those ingredients to life.
At The Magnum Ice Cream Company, we want to source those ingredients responsibly, not just today, but for years to come. That means supporting sustainable agricultural practices, strengthening human rights in supply chains, ensuring robust standards are met, and being able to demonstrate our progress with confidence.
As Responsible Sourcing & Human Rights Due Diligence Manager, you will play a critical role in making that possible.
Working within the Supply Chain & RD&I Sustainability team, you will help strengthen the systems, certification programmes, assurance processes and supplier engagement activities that underpin our responsible sourcing commitments. You will lead key elements of our human rights due diligence programme, manage certification schemes across priority ingredients and help build efficient, scalable ways of working that allow us to evidence progress, respond to evolving requirements and continuously improve.
This is a role for someone who enjoys bringing structure to complexity. Someone who can work comfortably with suppliers, auditors, certification bodies and colleagues across Procurement and Sustainability to ensure responsible sourcing is not only well intended, but well managed, well evidenced and capable of delivering meaningful impact.
