Ecolabel Account Officer, Vietnam

The use of the MSC’s trademarks is strictly governed by a number of regulations and standards and this work, together with the task of collecting royalty payments, is conducted by the MSCI Licensing team.  This department also performs these same licensing duties on behalf of an external organisation: The Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) for use of their logo relating to products from responsible fish farms.  Both organisations have experienced sustained growth across the globe and now there is an exciting opportunity within the MSCI Licencing team to manage accounts mainly based in Vietnam.

The Licensing team sits within Corporate Services based in the London head office. The Ecolabel Account Officer will report to an Ecolabel Account Manager.

The post holder will be responsible for ecolabel approval and protection in Vietnam and other regions when required or assigned.  The role will involve processing requests for use of the MSC Ecolabel and financial statements.  The post holder will also be involved in developing and communicating policies and procedures to both internal and external clients.

Team members work closely with the commercial staff in the regional offices, communicating with them as required to discuss and resolve licensing and commercial issues.  The role will also involve building relationships with customers and some travel will be necessary.
