Fairtrade Labelling Australia and New Zealand

Fairtrade Labelling Australia and New Zealand (FLANZ) is seeking a full time Business Development Officer to be based in our Melbourne office.

Fairtrade is a dynamic, consumer driven, international movement. It links disadvantaged producers in developing countries with businesses and consumers in the developed world. Fairtrade is about business and trade – not charity. Fairtrade ensures the payment of a fair price for globally traded products and supports disadvantaged producers to access markets, enabling them them to provide for their families and invest in community development.  

Sales of Fairtrade labeled products are growing rapidly in Australia and New Zealand, and more and more businesses are signing up to trade in Fairtrade certified products. The internationally recognised Fairtrade system is delivering benefits to disadvantaged producers throughout the developing world.

The Business Development Officer will be responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of companies and organisations in Australia who are selling Fairtrade Certified products such as coffee, tea, chocolate, sportballs, cotton and food products. This is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic, business-minded person to apply their skills to help grow fair trade markets and drive innovation and creativity in sales to support the sustainable development of farmers and workers in poor countries.  

Applications should include:

• a covering letter
• an up to date curriculum vitae
• a document outlining your relevant skills and experience in relation to the competencies outlined in the job description
