As Better Cotton enters its next strategic phase, to drive change on the ground for farmers, we will make it possible to trace Better Cotton. By introducing traceability, we will continue to generate demand for Better Cotton, supporting our core markets of apparel and textiles while contributing to systemic change. We work across all kinds of farm types, sizes and geographies. It is crucial that these producers, and the Better Cotton they produce, can continue to access international markets in the face of changing regulatory and business expectations.

To deliver traceability, a new team has been formed to develop, launch and roll out a solution over the next 4 years. Brazil is a key cotton growing region making it a priority for the traceability programme. We’re seeking a Brazil based coordinator who is well rounded, entrepreneurial, and an expert at partner/stakeholder management, to lead on the implementation of traceability in this locale.

This is a unique opportunity to take ownership of a key tenant of a transformational programme. Prior experience in IT and the cotton industry will be highly regarded. This role will report into the Sr Manager for Large Farm Programmes and Partnerships and matrix into the Sr Manager for Traceability. They will work closely with the London based traceability team and the Sr Coordinator who is based in Brasilia.
