Programs and Data Associate - Asia

Position Overview

• Location Type: Remote (with potential for travel to Asia and Africa)
• Employment Type: Contract
• Salary: Not specified

Enveritas is seeking a talented individual to support our operations and data analysis work in Africa and Asia, as well as some global functions. This role focuses on assisting with verification operations and data analysis, contributing to Enveritas' mission of building solutions for smallholder coffee farmers.

Background

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.

Responsibilities

• Surface the trends and insights that will help coffee roasters make data driven decisions about how they strengthen their supply chains.
• Help manage the data quality control process of several coffee origins in Asia and Africa.
• Support the management of Enveritas’ proprietary survey and data collection tools.
• Design, test, and scale new tools and SOPs to be used by Enveritas country teams in Africa and Asia.
• Support special analysis projects on a wide range of sustainability topics, such as costs of production, greenhouse gas emissions, and living income.
• Work on new initiatives in collaboration with members of the Enveritas global team, including program & field operations managers, data scientists, product managers, software engineers, agronomy and coffee industry experts, and multi-generational coffee farmers.
