The successful candidate will:

• Lead our seafood sourcing strategy, ensuring compliance and identifying opportunities for innovation and advocacy.
• Represent World Wise Foods in key industry initiatives such as the Global Tuna Alliance, Seafood Ethics Action Alliance, and Sustainable Seafood Coalition.
• Conduct annual risk assessments and develop action plans that integrate both environmental and social sustainability.
• Support environmental initiatives covering soy, food waste, and carbon.
• Coordinate supplier environmental data collection and risk mapping (e.g. water scarcity, high-risk raw materials).
• Act as the main point of contact for selected suppliers, ensuring they meet our sustainability standards.
• Promote sustainability internally through training and updates, and externally through impactful communications.
• Stay ahead of industry trends and emerging risks.
• Collaborate with suppliers, customers, NGOs, and internal teams to deliver on our sustainability goals.
• Provide support to the Head of Sustainability and oversee in-country consultants where needed.

Experience within food supply chains—particularly seafood—is highly desirable.
