We are looking for one or two people to help the school in Malawi from here in the UK, by selling our popular own label of responsibly sourced Teacher’s Brew Malawi coffee.
Position title: Coffee project manager
Time commitment: 2-8 hours per week
Timescale: 2 months plus
Essential skills: we need one or two people to run the project with our help, who are friendly, trustworthy, reliable, persuasive, adaptable and creative, self motivated
Training: training will be provided on how to use our website, social media tools, newsletter and accounting tools
Desirable skills: marketing skills, supply management, consumer or B2B sales experience, social media, basic numeracy, PR skills

Equipment needed: internet connection and access to a computer
We have a small base of existing customers, and want to tap into the UK’s taste for coffee by supplying individuals, small businesses, schools and cafés with our coffee.
The volunteer(s) will be responsible for serving our existing customers and following our strategy for seeking new ones. you will also liaise with our suppliers and be partially responsible for ensuring that payment is received and for sending out the coffee.
To maximise the amount of money going to the school in Malawi, budgets are tight so you’ll need to use online tools, word of mouth and PR to help tell the world about Teacher’s Brew.
