This is an opportunity for someone who wants to learn international trade, agricultural exports, supplier management, logistics and business operations through practical hands-on experience.

Qualifications, Skills and Experience:

- Able to solve problems rather than simply wait for instructions
- Honest, dependable and professional
- Willing to take initiative
- Previous experience in agriculture, logistics, exports or international trade is an advantage but it is not a requirement.
- We are willing to train the right person.
- What matters most to us is your attitude, willingness to learn, ability to take responsibility and desire to grow.
An Opportunity to Grow
- This role is designed for someone who wants more than a conventional job.
- You will have the opportunity to learn how an agricultural export business operates from the inside from finding a supplier and sourcing produce to receiving an international order, coordinating logistics and ensuring that the customer receives what they ordered.
- You will work closely with the management team and gradually take responsibility for real assignments and projects.
- For the right person, this can develop into a long-term position with increasing responsibility in export operations, procurement, logistics, sales and business development.
