Business Manager Asia

Location: De Lier, The Netherlands

At Rijk Zwaan, we develop vegetable varieties and sell the seeds produced from them globally. That puts us right at the start of the food chain, and means that we contribute to the health and well-being of people all over the world. Everything we do is about growth. The growth of natural products that we export around the world. The growth of our company, which currently employs over 2,350 people in more than 30 countries. And above all the growth of our people: we give you every opportunity to use your own initiative and achieve your full potential. Working with colleagues to produce the best and tastiest vegetables. Reinforcing, helping and inspiring one another. That’s how we want to continuously work together towards a healthy future.

In the region South, South-East and East Asia Rijk Zwaan has several activities, including a subsidiary in India. Next to this we work with several distributors and have our own area managers and product development specialists to support the growers. Key focus countries in this region are Japan, Korea, India, Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand. China makes up  a separate cluster, not falling within the scope of this vacancy.

Management and the over-all responsibility for this area is in the hands of two business managers whereas one of these positions becomes vacant. You report  to the Board of Directors. This position is based in De Lier at our head office in The Netherlands.

This international role involves the direct management and steering of our growing organisation. You will guide all activities in the territory described above, including strategy, planning, sales, investments and personnel. In close cooperation with the Board of Directors you will develop and implement commercial and company policy. You maintain and intensify the contact with customers and business relations in the marketplace. In collaboration with the breeding department you make sure that there is sufficient creation of new varieties and traits for the region. You are involved  in the international commercial Rijk Zwaan policy. You have an important people-orientated role for building and maintaining a well-functioning team.

Decisive personality
You hold an academic degree or can demonstrate that you have the equivalent level of ability. You  have a strong affinity with and/or work experience in agriculture. You have at least 10 years’ relevant work experience in an international environment. For this function we are looking for an energetic, enterprising, commercial manager. You take initiative, are resourceful, ambitious and you like to cooperate with your colleagues to obtain an optimal result. You feel comfortable to operate as an entrepreneur within our organization.
