We’re growing fast on our mission to be the employer of choice in hospitality, everywhere we operate – so this an exciting time to hop on board.
We Believe in Growing Good Things
Growth is at the heart of everything we do. From the freshly hand-made food we create every day, to supporting our teams, we help our people grow in confidence, skills and to pursue their unique paths. Pret is where passionate, hardworking, wonderful people (like you!) find what they need to shine. And the proof is in the pudding – over 80% of our Managers started on the shop floor! So did 20% of our Support Centre teams, including our CEO, Pano.
What we’re looking for
We’re looking for passionate team players to bring joy to our customers every day. As a Senior Specification Manager you’ll be responsible for ensuring the accuracy, consistency, and compliance of product specifications across Pret’s supply base and internally.

Working alongside technical managers, review and approve supplier specifications, ensuring all product data—such as ingredients, allergens, and nutritional values are accurate and compliant.
Support suppliers with system onboarding, guidance and training to ensure timely and accurate submissions.
Provide training and support globally to drive standards and consistency on checks and data management.
Ensuring compliance to UK and international labelling legislation and leads the calculation and validation of HFSS scores.
Responsible for artwork and packaging reviews to ensure they align with specifications, legal requirements, and brand standards, in collaboration with technical and marketing teams, targeting V2 approval.
Be part of the business transformation projects including the introduction of full ingredient labelling, ensuring markets can undergo a successful transition when the time comes.

Experience and Skills required
Strong technical knowledge of food labelling legislation and specification management

Excellent attention to detail and ability to manage data
Ability to manage critical paths and project timelines, ensuring milestones are delivered on time and risks to delivery are identified and mitigated proactively
Excellent communication and collaboration skills
A proactive mindset with a focus on continuous improvement and problem-solving
Experience working within retail or foodservice supply chains
Ability to work cross-functionally and influence without direct authority

The interview journey
Every interview process at Pret begins with the same two stages. First, you’ll have a relaxed 30-minute conversation with our recruitment team so we can get to know you and your experience. Next, you’ll be invited to a one-hour, in-person interview with the hiring manager at our Head Office in London Victoria.
Depending on the role and function, there may be additional stages. These could include time spent in one of our shops, completing a task, or meeting a senior leader.
