Role

About Scottish Fair Trade

Scottish Fair Trade is the national network organisation for Fair Trade in Scotland.

We work to build a world where trade is fair, people are valued, and the planet is protected. We connect communities, campaign for change, and support ethical businesses to grow and thrive.

Scotland is a Fair Trade Nation, and we’re working to re-energise the movement for the future, bringing all sectors of Scottish society with us.

About the role

The Development & Business Partnerships Officer plays an important role in strengthening relationships between Scottish Fair Trade and businesses, public sector organisations, social enterprises and partner networks across Scotland. The postholder supports engagement and knowledge-sharing around Fair Trade, ethical sourcing and sustainable procurement, helping to grow understanding and participation across different sectors.

The role also supports the development of Scottish Fair Trade’s membership community, encouraging organisations and businesses to engage with and support the movement for fairer trade.

Alongside this, the postholder will help coordinate light-touch consultancy and advisory activity delivered through Fair Change Co., our trading subsidiary, working with external associates or consultants where appropriate.

This is a relationship-focused and coordination role suited to someone with strong communication and organisational skills, an interest in ethical business and sustainability, and the ability to engage a wide range of stakeholders.
