Membership Coordinator

Are you purpose-led and ready to embark on a journey to shape the future of sustainable cotton? Join us at Better Cotton as a Membership Coordinator and support a global team responsible for delivering high-impact results for the world’s largest cotton sustainability initiative – we support more sustainable farming practices and farm livelihoods for nearly 3 million farmers in the Better Cotton network in 23 countries around the world.

Better Cotton is seeking to hire a Membership Coordinator based in the UK who will be responsible for maintaining optimal engagement with members of Better Cotton, recruiting new members, and managing projects and process improvements, as well as the related administration. The role involves regular interaction mainly with apparel and fashion retailers and brands, but also with other commercial members of Better Cotton, essential for driving uptake of Better Cotton and generating related volume-based fees as they source Better Cotton. These fees are re-invested into the Better Cotton field implementation programme through capacity building, to deepen impact as Better Cotton works towards its 2030 Strategic goals. The position specifically supports the achievement of more than 2.7 m metric tons of Better Cotton uptake by Retailer and Brand Members in 2024, so the ability to convincingly communicate the business case for sustainable cotton to all types of stakeholders in the commercial sector is key. The role may involve some non-commercial members such as Civil Societies.

The position comes with an incredible growth opportunity for a skilled professional wanting to consolidate previous successful commercial experience in sustainability and/or CSR, to work across a more sustainable commodity as it transforms the sector. The role is suitable for a self-motivated, positive, dynamic, engaging, and service-oriented individual able to inspire and guide companies in adopting and committing long-term to the Better Cotton programme.
