  • Inspire, elevate and successfully manage diverse teams encouraging a trustworthy environment across departments and the GFA’s eco-system.
Minimum Requirements:
  • A minimum of 10 years in leadership roles, with significant experience driving sustainability actions in the fashion industry.
  • A deep understanding of social and environmental sustainability challenges with the ambition to accelerate the sustainability agenda in fashion and measure impact.
  • Proven expertise in systemic thinking, stakeholder engagement, and program development.
  • Financial acumen and experience in seeking grants for global initiatives.
  • Proven ability to foster a collaborative and high-performing culture within remote, multicultural teams.
  • Strong interpersonal skills, paired with a “Yes We Can” attitude.
  • Fluency in English is a must, both written and spoken.
  • Being based in Copenhagen (or close to one of the European fashion hubs).

We know skills and competencies show up in many ways and can be based on your life experience. If you do not meet all the requirements listed, we still encourage you to speak to us about this opportunity.

This is a career-defining opportunity to drive the fashion industry’s transformation toward greater sustainability. If you are ready to bring your passion and expertise to this transformative role, apply now to join the GFA’s journey towards a Net Positive future.
