About this role

Better Cotton is now seeking a highly motivated and qualified professional to join the Standards & Assurance team as a Senior Coordinator.

In this role, you will support the coordination of the Better Cotton assurance programme, which aims to monitor and verify performance of cotton farmers (or groups of farmers) around the world.  The assurance programme relies on a global network of third-party verifiers, Better Cotton staff in country, self-assessment procedures, field-based licensing assessments, and related processes. In this role, you will oversee the effective implementation of assurance procedures, coordinate the assurance system review, and support Better Cotton country teams who work closely with farmers in the field.  

A key element of maintaining the credibility of the assurance programme is a strong team of third-party verifiers and qualified second-party assessors, and you will be responsible for implementing a strategy to ensure high-quality, effective verifiers across Better Cotton countries. You will also contribute to capacity-building and training activities. Along the way, you will learn a great deal about the sustainability challenges and opportunities facing cotton farmers around the world – from water and pesticide use, to enhancing biodiversity, and promoting decent work.  You will also help the team to explore new approaches to assurance and verification – including direct to farmer and worker feedback tools, use of satellite data, landscape-level monitoring, etc.

This exciting role offers excellent opportunities for personal and professional development, together with a competitive benefits package. This role is embedded within the Better Cotton Standards & Assurance function; the central team is split between London and Geneva, and the country-level assurance team includes colleagues in the US, India, Pakistan, China, Egypt, Turkey, Mozambique, South Africa, and Mali.
