Compliance Data Specialist in Birmingham

Join Biffa Producer Compliance Solutions as a Compliance Data Specialist, where you’ll play a key role in ensuring accurate, compliant regulatory submissions for a portfolio of producer customers. This is a predominantly data-focused role (approximately 80%), centred on analysing, validating and standardising customer-submitted data to meet regulatory requirements. Alongside this, you’ll act as a trusted point of contact for customers, providing clear guidance and support throughout compliance submission periods.

We’re looking for someone highly analytical, detail-oriented and confident working with complex Excel datasets — as well as comfortable communicating clearly with customers when needed.

Your core responsibilities:

• Receive and review customer data submissions in various Excel formats
• Cleanse, validate and standardise datasets to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements
• Perform calculations, reconciliations and data checks with high accuracy
• Identify inconsistencies or gaps in data and proactively resolve issues
• Act as the main point of contact for allocated customers during submission periods
• Provide clear guidance on data requirements and submission timelines
• Support customers during Environment Agency audits, including preparing and reviewing required data and documentation
• Collaborate with internal teams to ensure efficient and documented processes
• Contribute to continuous improvement of data handling and compliance processes
• Support internal colleagues with new business leads as required

Our essential requirements:

• Highly proficient in Microsoft Excel (including formulas, data manipulation and validation techniques)
• Naturally analytical with strong problem-solving ability
• Meticulous, organised and comfortable working with large datasets
• Confident communicating clearly and professionally with customers
• Able to manage multiple priorities during busy submission periods
• Proactive and self-motivated

(Prior knowledge of environmental regulations, such as Extended Producer Responsibility and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, is helpful but not required — full training will be provided).

And here’s why you’ll love it at Biffa:

• Ongoing career development, training and coaching – Because if you don’t grow, we don’t grow.
• Competitive salary.
• Generous pension scheme.
• Retail and leisure discounts.
• Holiday and travel discounts.
• Life cover.
