Impact Manager

Belgium, Kortrijk

Our mission 🚀

In 2016, our founders wanted to feed their dogs - named Edgard and Cooper - pet food they could feel good about. The kind of food that was as good for the planet as it was for their pets. But when they couldn't find this, they decided to make their own. Now, 10 years later, our pack has over 200 employees and we are beyond proud to be part of the B Corp movement.

What type of breed are we looking for? 🐕

Let's skip the part where we tell you sustainability jobs are usually full of vague ambitions nobody can measure. You already know that. What you probably don't know yet is that this one isn't.

As our Impact Manager, you'll own the strategy that actually decides whether all our good intentions about pets and the planet turn into, well, real progress. Actual measurable change.

What is in your bowl? 🍵

You'll develop and own E&C's global impact strategy, the kind that shows measurable results, not just good intentions. You'll build training programmes that get the whole organisation genuinely on board, and stay ahead of regulatory and sustainability trends before anyone has to ask.

You'll advise product teams on sustainability and ethics, build real partnerships with experts who share our mission, and lead the team behind the Edgard & Cooper Foundation.

You'll champion B Corp as something we live, not just renew, own our Animal Welfare Policy and sourcing roadmaps, and represent E&C at industry events.

You'll lead the Impact & Foundation team, a close-knit duo of experts.

What skills & tricks should you bring? 🤹

• 6+ years of experience developing and implementing sustainability, impact or responsible business strategies

• Proven experience managing and developing a team

• Strong knowledge of environmental sustainability, ethical practices, animal welfare and the regulatory and reporting requirements that come with it

• Experience designing and delivering training, communications or engagement programmes that build awareness and influence behaviour

• Strong stakeholder and partnership skills, including effective collaboration with external organisations and experts

• Excellent analytical, written and verbal communication skills, combined with a proactive, collaborative and values led approach, and a genuine interest in improving the lives of pets and protecting the planet
