Jobbeschreibung

Project Manager Sales Representative (m/f/d) ATAKORA GmbH/Aid by Trade Foundation

– starting September 1, 2025, initially limited to 2 years –

The Aid by Trade Foundation brings together various partners from business, politics, science, and NGOs through its initiatives Cotton made in Africa (CmiA), The Good Cashmere Standard (GCS), and Regenerative Cotton Standard (RCS). Following the concept of a „social business,“ it builds demand alliances for sustainably produced raw materials.

Through “development cooperation through trade,” the initiatives contribute to improving living conditions in cotton-producing countries, ensuring animal welfare for cashmere goats, and promoting environmental protection in the respective regions.

Many companies in the textile sector use the Aid by Trade Foundation’s standards for their collections. The global marketing of the Aid by Trade Foundation’s brand rights is carried out by ATAKORA Fördergesellschaft GmbH, which manages license and partnership agreements with various stakeholders in the textile value chain.

We are looking for a committed and sales-driven personality who can bring our standards to the market – as the first point of contact for international retailers and brand companies.

Your responsibilities:

• Active marketing of licenses for the RCS, CmiA Organic, CmiA, and GCS standards to international brands and retailers
• Acquisition of new customers through compelling presentations – both online and in person
• Expansion and maintenance of existing customer relationships to fully leverage their potential
• Support in conducting in-depth needs analyses to identify individual requirements – especially in terms of sustainability, supply chain transparency, and regulatory frameworks (e.g. German Supply Chain Act, EU regulatory framework for sustainability reporting) – and develop tailored solutions
• Conducting market and competitor analyses to identify new trends and business opportunities
• Organizing and hosting webinars and videos to promote understanding of our standards
• Creating presentations and sales materials in collaboration with the marketing department
• Supporting contract negotiations and finalizations in coordination with the Finance & Legal team
• Representing the Aid by Trade Foundation at trade fairs, conferences, and events

Your profile:

• Completed degree in business, marketing, textile management, or a comparable field
• At least 3 years of professional experience in sales, ideally in an international brand or textile context
• Experience in customer acquisition and relationship management
• Strong communication and presentation skills in both German and English
• Confident and persuasive presence in meetings and presentations
• Willingness to travel and intercultural understanding
• Independent, structured working style and high level of self-motivation
• Proficiency in MS Office; experience with CRM systems (e.g., Salesforce) is a plus
• Strong interest in global issues and sustainable raw materials as well as a high motivation to work in a non-profit organization
• Experience with textile supply chains, ideally with a focus on sustainability and social standards
• Willingness to travel nationally and internationally

What we offer:

• A meaningful role at the intersection of development cooperation and international trade
• A collegial, dedicated team with flat hierarchies
• Flexible working arrangements (2 office days per week in Hamburg, remote work possible)
• 30 vacation days, Christmas bonus, and a commuting allowance
• Opportunities for further training and creative freedom
• A full-time position with 39 hours per week

Remote work is possible for part of the working hours (2 days per week in the Hamburg office).

We look forward to receiving your detailed application (preferably via email), including at least one reference, your salary expectations, and your earliest possible start date.
