About This Role
This is a quality and compliance leadership role within one of Ethiopia's largest integrated agro-processors, where you would be responsible for building, maintaining, and auditing the management systems that keep a complex operation running to standard. ELFORA's operations span livestock, meat processing, dairy, poultry, and export — meaning the systems you oversee must satisfy both domestic regulators and international buyers. It suits someone who understands that in food and agro-processing, documentation and process discipline are not administrative extras but the backbone of export eligibility and brand trust. The dual location between Addis and the Shallo farm signals that this role requires genuine presence on the ground, not desk-bound policy writing.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The seniority band tells you ELFORA is not looking for someone to learn management systems on the job — they need a person who has already carried certification or audit responsibility through at least one full cycle, likely under ISO, HACCP, or similar food safety frameworks. The academic background requested across agriculture, economics, engineering, and business suggests the company values systems thinking over a single technical discipline; what matters is your ability to map processes, identify gaps, and drive corrective action across departments. The fact that they are hiring two people for this position hints at scale — either the workload is heavy enough to warrant a team, or they are building redundancy across their main office and farm operations.
How to Approach This Application
Your application should demonstrate concrete familiarity with the standards ELFORA's export business depends on — food safety management, traceability, and audit readiness are the unspoken priorities behind this posting. Rather than listing certifications, describe a specific system you implemented or a compliance challenge you resolved, ideally in a food, beverage, or agricultural setting. Because the role bridges office and farm, signal that you are comfortable moving between documentation work and shop-floor verification. If you have experience preparing a facility for external audits or maintaining certification under scrutiny, make that visible early.
Who This Role Suits
This role best suits a quality or compliance professional with several years inside food processing, agro-industry, or manufacturing who is ready to take ownership of management systems at a company with real export exposure. Competition is likely moderate but selective — ELFORA will favor candidates who can show audit outcomes and cross-functional influence, not just theoretical knowledge.
