Dear Candidate,
Thank you for your interest in joining the Fairtrade Foundation – what a moment to get involved! We’re on the brink of something truly transformational, and we’re thrilled that you’re considering being part of it.
Fairtrade is more than a movement – it’s a global force for good. United by a bold vision, we’re working towards a world where farmers and workers can thrive; earning fair wages, living with dignity, and building sustainable futures. For decades, we’ve been the trailblazers of fairness in trade, climate justice, and human rights – and we’re just getting started.
I’ve recently stepped into the role of Chief Executive, and the energy, passion, and commitment across our teams and partners is nothing short of inspiring. We’re writing the next chapter of Fairtrade’s story, and it’s going to be bold, impact led, values driven and full of heart.
That’s where you come in.
We’re on the lookout for a Director of People and Culture – a powerhouse leader who’s ready to help shape and build the future of our organisation. This is a senior role with real impact, working closely with me and our Senior Leadership Team to champion progressive ways of working, nurture a vibrant, high performing and inclusive culture, and embed well-being at the core of everything we do.
If you’re someone who blends strategic vision with hands-on delivery, and you’re fired up by the chance to lead meaningful change – this could be your moment.
We live and breathe our values: accountability, integrity, respect, and partnership. I look forward to welcoming someone who shares our passion for fairness, justice and impact, and is excited to help us build a stronger, more resilient Fairtrade Foundation.
With best wishes,
Eleanor Harrison OBE
Chief Executive
Fairtrade Foundation
