This role is an opportunity to combine strategic thinking with a ‘hands-on’ approach to drive positive change in the seafood sector and deliver on MSC’s ambitious objectives.

We’re looking for someone who:

• has a university degree or equivalent experience in Business, Supply Chain Sustainability or Resource Management with a commercial and service-oriented attitude
