About This Role
This is a senior operational role focused on building and managing Holland Dairy’s raw milk supply chain from the ground up. Rather than a desk job, you will be in the field coordinating with dairy farmers, local authorities, and quality control teams to ensure a consistent, high-quality milk inflow. The role suits a professional with a strong background in animal science or dairy extension who is comfortable working in rural Oromia and driving development programs that directly impact production targets.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The requirement for a BSc in Animal Science and 5–8 years of experience signals that Holland Dairy is looking for someone with deep technical knowledge of dairy husbandry, not just logistics. They need a candidate who can design and deliver extension services to farmers, manage herd health issues, and translate scientific practices into on-the-ground results. The emphasis on “stakeholder management” with local authorities implies you must also navigate regulatory and community dynamics, so soft skills and local knowledge matter as much as your degree.
How to Approach This Application
Your application should highlight concrete examples of dairy development projects you have led or contributed to—especially any that improved milk quality or expanded supply networks. Emphasize experience working with smallholder farmers, training them on best practices, and liaising with government agricultural offices. Since the role is based in Sendafa, mention any familiarity with the Oromia region’s dairy sector or existing relationships with local cooperatives and veterinary services.
Who This Role Suits
This role is best suited for a seasoned animal science professional who thrives in field-based, community-facing work and is ready to take ownership of supply-side operations. Given the seniority level and the company’s reputation in Ethiopia’s dairy industry, expect moderate competition from experienced candidates with similar technical backgrounds.
