About This Role
This role places you at the operational helm of a key production facility in Bahirdar, where your primary mandate is to balance hands-on factory floor leadership with high-level strategic planning. As General Manager for BEAEKA’s Terazo and milling operations, you will be expected to drive efficiency gains and cost reduction while ensuring product quality meets regulatory standards. It is best suited for an experienced manufacturing professional who thrives on optimising processes and can navigate the specific logistical and operational realities of working within the Amhara region.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The listed seniority level (5–8 years) signals that BEAEKA is seeking someone who has already proven their ability to manage a full production cycle, not just a single department. The emphasis on being "development-oriented" implies the employer values candidates who can identify bottlenecks and implement lasting improvements, rather than simply maintaining the status quo. This profile suggests you need a track record of leading teams through change, with a hands-on understanding of FMCG milling or food processing equipment and quality control systems.
How to Approach This Application
In your application, lead with specific examples of operational improvements you have previously delivered—quantify cost savings, production increases, or quality metric enhancements. Since the role is in Bahirdar, explicitly address your willingness to relocate or your existing ties to the region, as this demonstrates commitment beyond the interview. Highlight any experience you have with regulatory compliance in Ethiopian manufacturing, as well as your approach to motivating diverse teams in a factory setting.
Who This Role Suits
This role is ideal for a seasoned factory manager with 5+ years of experience in FMCG or food processing who is ready for full P&L responsibility in a regional hub. Given the specific location and sector, competition will be moderate—candidates with direct milling or grain processing experience will have a clear advantage.
