Executive Assistant and Impact Coordinator
Join the legal and sustainability team of a dynamic global tea business committed to positively improving lives through tea. Our team works to raise social and environmental standards across tea gardens and our supply chain. Our initiatives are aimed at improving the standard of living of workers in the tea gardens we source from, as well as ensure that value is redistributed fairly. We are looking for someone with passion for social justice, job critical organisational skills and analytical ability to support the delivery of genuine impact and authentic, purpose-driven change.
As our company is committed to positive impact, our sustainability initiatives and human rights impact assessments are conducted and monitored by our Legal Department who has management over these. This job therefore requires a proactive and highly organised Executive Assistance to support our Head of Legal, Human Rights and Sustainability in this.
This role combines high-level executive support with hands-on coordination of workstreams across both legal and sustainability, with a focus on organising work flows and organisation of various implementation partners and monitoring their deliverables.
Within the company, you will facilitate flow between departments to ensure that all departments and facilities are fulfilling their legal and sustainability requirements. The role requires someone with strong organisational skills, the ability to manage priorities across different departments, and the confidence to work with senior stakeholders both within the company and externally.
You will play a central role in supporting our company's ambitious social and environmental commitments and embedding our brand purpose—improving lives through tea; demonstrating measurable, credible improvements in the lives of tea workers, their communities and beyond tea – to the charitable projects we support all over the world.
