About This Role

This is a field-based sales role within DINA Investment Group's animal feed processing division, where you would be the commercial link between the company and Ethiopia's agricultural customers—farmers, distributors, and commercial operations. The position sits within a diversified conglomerate, meaning you'd be selling a product with existing brand backing but would still need to build territory from the ground up. It suits someone who understands that agricultural sales in Ethiopia depend heavily on trust, repeat relationships, and on-the-ground presence rather than desk work.

What the Requirements Say About This Role

The 3-5 year experience window signals the company wants someone who has already learned how to manage a sales route independently—not someone who needs daily supervision. The sector mix (veterinary services, FMCG, manufacturing) suggests they value candidates who understand perishable or consumable products and the rhythm of agricultural buying cycles. Underneath the requirements, the profile being sought is a self-managing relationship builder who can handle the physical demands of field sales and the discipline of hitting targets without constant oversight.

How to Approach This Application

Emphasize any experience you have selling to agricultural or rural customers, even if your product background differs—what transfers is your ability to navigate farmer and distributor networks. Quantify your past sales achievements with specific numbers where possible, since this role is explicitly target-driven and the employer will be screening for evidence of consistent performance. If you have knowledge of animal feed or livestock farming, make that visible early, as it shortens your ramp-up time and is likely a differentiator among candidates.

Best Fit

Who This Role Suits

Best suited for a mid-career salesperson comfortable with frequent travel and relationship-heavy selling in agricultural markets; competition is likely moderate, with the strongest candidates being those who can demonstrate both field sales discipline and familiarity with Ethiopia's livestock or feed sector.
