Fairtrade Labelling Australia and New Zealand (FLANZ) is seeking a full time Certification 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.

There is an exciting opportunity for the right person to assume responsibility for certification services in Australia and New Zealand, to guarantee the integrity of the Fairtrade Label and maintain business and consumer confidence in the Fairtrade Certification system. This is a highly unique role in a vibrant and rapidly growing organisation and field, with significant opportunities for career advancement in the coming years.
