📋 Description

• Enveritas is looking for exceptional talent to join our team and to support our operations in Vietnam. • Consumers are increasingly asking if the brands they trust are “sustainable” – that is, produced under acceptable social, economic and environmental practices. • Companies have responded by setting targets for becoming “100% sustainable”. • However, traditional approaches for verifying sustainability face challenges reaching farmers that are too small, too remote, or informally organized. • Enveritas (www.enveritas.org) is building solutions for smallholder coffee farmers that are currently beyond the reach of existing sustainability certification or verification approaches. • We have developed a rigorous, scalable and transparent method of verification that works in this “underserved space.” • This verification is the backbone of our Responsible Sourcing platform that helps companies meet their sustainability targets by investing in the areas that need it most. • Enveritas is a non-profit organization founded in 2016 and works in most major coffee-growing countries in the US, with a remote-first environment and hubs in diverse locations such as New York, Uganda, Ethiopia, Colombia, and Indonesia. • Enveritas combines the rigor of its systems and processes with an intense effort to collect credible data from the field, accompanied by inspiring and unique stories (insights) that permit our clients to work together with stakeholders to improve the coffee grower’s livelihood. • Our operations in Africa and Asia cover major commodity-growing countries such as Cote d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Vietnam, and Indonesia. • Your role is to coordinate operations and projects in Vietnam, and lead/plan other strategic projects in Vietnam or wider Asia/Africa. You will report to Enveritas’ Regional Operations Lead - Asia.
