Who are we?  

WRAP is a global environmental action NGO championing the shift towards a circular economy, fundamentally reshaping how we produce, consume, and manage resources. Our vision is a world transformed, in which Circular Living is commonplace. Where the systems that provide our everyday goods contribute to the world's prosperity and sustainability instead of reducing it. 

WRAP is driving Circular Living through four key areas: accelerating the circular economy, future-proofing food, preventing problem plastics and transforming textiles. We catalyse action from policy makers, businesses, NGOs and citizens to make it happen. 

We have offices in the UK, USA and Australia, and live projects in over 30 countries. 

Join us at WRAP and you'll drive important change to make Circular Living the norm. 

The role 

As our Impact Delivery Lead for Mexico, your focus will be to deliver impact for the Food Waste reduction programmes working closely with our localised partners in Mexico, colleagues in WRAP Global/Americas/APAC other critical stakeholders. Over time and where appropriate, this role will also represent WRAP in-country on other food system transformation topics, including climate action and water sustainability, and broader strategic areas of work, as well as potential growth of the work across Latin America. 

You’ll build effective and influential relationships with our local Partners, bringing the WRAP expertise and networks to facilitate the successful implementation and widespread engagement of these ambitious Food Pact programmes. You will report to our regional Executive Director, but also build very close ties with our local Partner leadership team, with notable accountabilities including: 

Champion and drive WRAP’s vision and ambition to reduce food waste through partnerships in the Food Waste Pact (Pacto por la Comida) in Mexico.

Work with colleagues and partners across WRAP‘s international network to implement an ambitious impact-focused program to tackle food waste in country.

Be part of a team of multi-national experts to develop and deliver holistic strategies for impact, including with business, government, citizen and policy action focus.

Build strong relationships with WRAP’s in-country partners and other key stakeholders, to implement a program of work designed to reduce food waste across the food value chain.

Build and nurture a network of relationships and collaborations to enable WRAP to design and attract funding for a continuing deepening and broadening of our ongoing programme of interventions in the country and surrounding region.

Act as the key link between WRAP’s in-country partners, the Food System Transformation team, and the UK-based project and programme management team.

Facilitate project management communications between WRAP Global and the in-country partner, including quarterly reviews and planning, prioritization and budgeting workshops setting the objectives for the next quarter.

Who are we looking for? 

We’re looking for a strategic, impact-driven professional with strong experience in food supply chains, ideally within or in close collaboration with FMCG businesses. You’ll bring a strong track record of program or project delivery in complex, multi-stakeholder settings, with the ability to engage industry, government, and civil society partners to drive action on food waste and food systems transformation. 

As our first in-country hire in Mexico, you must be a self-starter who can operate with a high level of autonomy, while also collaborating closely with WRAP’s global and regional teams and our national partners. You will have: 

Proven experience in the food sector, preferably including work with or within FMCG companies or food retailers

Practical knowledge of food supply chains and food loss and waste drivers, ideally in the Mexican or broader Latin American context

Demonstrated ability to deliver evidence-based interventions, manage programs, and work across sectors to implement systems-level change
