In a large-scale retail environment, our license to operate is our most valuable asset. We are looking for a Licensing & Compliance Manager who understands that this isn't just about paperwork; it’s about business continuity. This role is the guardian of our alcohol, tobacco, and regulated sales licenses. A single failure in compliance doesn't just mean a fine, it risks the immediate closure of our stores. Beyond licensing, you will be one of our Trading Standards experts, supporting the team and ensuring that as legislation evolves, Morrisons stays ahead of the curve. From the complexity of environmental "green claims" to the strict marketing of vapes and tobacco, you will ensure our commercial ambitions never compromise our legal integrity.
Job Responsibility:
Oversee the application, maintenance, and renewal of all licenses, ensuring all statutory requirements are met
Final oversight for high-risk advertising and labeling, including tobacco/vapes, pricing, and substantiating sustainability claims
Design, implement, and audit our Challenge 25 strategy
Act as the internal authority on age restricted sales, ensuring every colleague is trained and every store is prepared for test purchases
Proactively identify stores at risk of licensing reviews and implement robust intervention plans to prevent closure or loss of license
Act as the primary point of contact for Local Authorities, Police, and Licensing Boards
Represent the business at hearings and mediation meetings
Monitor compliance data and test purchase results to provide the leadership teams with a clear view of our risk profile
Requirements:
Deep understanding of the Licensing Act 2003 (or relevant regional legislation) and its application in a fast paced retail setting
Meticulous in reviewing advertising copy and pricing practices to ensure 100% legal compliance
Ability to translate complex legal requirements into simple, actionable store level processes
Comfortable presenting to senior stakeholders and managing difficult conversations with regulatory bodies
