Service Delivery Manager (Government Services) 6 months fixed term contract (W2) - Oritain

SERVICE DELIVERY MANAGER, ORITAIN GOVERNMENT SERVICES (OGS) 6-MONTH FIXED TERM CONTRACT (W2)

About us 

Oritain is the global leader in scientifically verifying origin, notably in the cotton/textiles, food and pharmaceutical sectors. We exist to protect the reputations of our customers and US borders by identifying and mitigating well-known risks in global supply chains. Sustainability isn’t just about tackling climate change; it represents a growing conscience around our actions and the impact they have on people, animals and the planet. The personal, professional and governmental move to sustainable practice is driven by a desire to change our impact on the world. Still, we can’t do this without knowing the certainty of our actions.

In simple terms, Oritain collects samples for a growing database of products. This evolving database of geographically significant sources provides reference data for both genuine and risk origins. We then use these samples to establish a fingerprint of origin and compare the results of unknown samples against these to verify provenance. Doing this increases our clients' value by effectively identifying fraudulent behaviour in their supply chain.
