Lead Agriculture Import-Export Operations
Budget: ₹250,000 – ₹500,000 INR
I run a fast-growing trading company that specialises in moving agriculture and food products across borders, and I’m now opening a senior seat to take full ownership of our import-export cycle. The role spans the entire chain—from pinpointing profitable markets to closing container-level deals—so I need someone who is already known for delivering results in this space.
Your core mission
You will negotiate contracts with both suppliers and buyers, guide a small but motivated sales and research team, and keep a steady eye on emerging market opportunities. Part of the job is also shaping the team itself: recruiting new talent when gaps appear and coaching current members toward higher performance.
How success is measured
• At least three new supplier or buyer contracts signed within the first quarter.
• A clear market-entry roadmap for each approved product segment, updated monthly.
• Continuous team performance improvements reflected in rising conversion rates and faster research turnaround.
• Profit per container tracked and reported; you earn 10 % of the net margin on every container that ships under your supervision.
Day-to-day flow
Expect to blend desk research with on-the-ground relationship building. Commodity price analysis, Incoterms negotiations, freight forwarder coordination, and compliance checks will all land on your desk. Tools such as Excel, Power BI or Tableau for analytics, plus CRM platforms for pipeline tracking, should feel second nature to you.
What you bring
A senior-level track record in agriculture and food logistics, proven negotiating power, and the leadership chops to keep both sales and research functions synchronised toward the same revenue target.
If orchestrating profitable container deals while earning a direct share of each one sounds like your next move, let’s talk timelines and get the first shipment on the water.
