About This Role

This is a bridge role between what the market wants and what an import-export agricultural business actually sources and sells. KKGT operates in a sector where product decisions hinge on seasonal supply, import timing, and shifting customer preferences, so the officer effectively translates field and customer feedback into concrete product choices. It suits someone early in their career who is comfortable moving between desk analysis and cross-departmental coordination rather than sitting in one lane.

What the Requirements Say About This Role

The degree list is deliberately broad — marketing, agriculture, economics, social sciences — which signals the employer values how you think about products and markets more than a specific academic pedigree. The emphasis on working with Sales, Procurement, and Logistics reveals that this hire must navigate internal trade-offs, not just produce research reports. Expect the profile being sought to be someone who can hold a commercial conversation with a supplier and a data-driven one with the sales team in the same week.

How to Approach This Application

Since this is a single opening at a junior level, your application should lead with concrete examples of product or market work you have done — a research project, a pricing exercise, a product improvement you contributed to — rather than a list of duties. Show familiarity with agricultural or import-export product dynamics if you have it, because that context will separate you from generalist applicants. Keep the CV clean and report-ready; the mention of MS Office and reporting suggests they want someone who can produce structured output without supervision.

Best Fit

Who This Role Suits
