Regardless of your base location, you’ll have strong collaboration with your colleagues on all locations.

In this role, you will refer to the Sustainable Raw Materials Manager and collaborate closely with colleagues from sustainability, brands, sourcing, and supply chain, as well as external partners.

Your Responsibilities

Your key mission is to support BESTSELLER’s Fashion FWD material targets related to recycled and next-gen fibers. You’ll contribute to a more transparent and responsible value chain by managing projects, collecting data, and driving initiatives forward.

Key responsibilities include:
