Introduction to the VKB Group

The VKB Group is an agricultural company, providing support to farmers and producing straight-from-the farm-foods for consumers. Apart from the various consumer brands, the VKB Group is also represented by its regional brands: VKB, GWK and NTK. Our roots are firmly planted in agriculture with farming at our core, continuously growing and evolving throughout the years.

Starting with providing everything needed on the farm to produce food, we now also operate in all areas of the food supply chain: processing, logistics, and national and global market channels.

This “house of brands” we’ve established with the support of our farmer shareholders is the foundation for building the agribusiness of the future.

About the Role

We are looking for a detail-driven, people-focused, and solution-oriented individual to take on the role of Admin Manager within the VKB Group.

This is more than just administration – it’s about ensuring operational excellence, supporting our people, protecting our legacy, and building trust with every farmer, customer, and colleague you interact with.

As the administrative backbone of the branch, you’ll play a key role in ensuring smooth operations, compliance, and outstanding client service. Your eye for detail, hunger for excellence, and ability to guide and support others will directly contribute to the success of your branch and the bigger VKB family.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Safeguarding the branch by verifying internal controls (inventory, claims, returns, shipments) and reconciling financial transactions.
• Ensuring compliance with VKB’s policies, legislation, and reporting standards.
• Conducting inventory surveys, addressing audit findings, and implementing risk-reduction plans.
• Supporting high administrative standards through inspections and monthly risk reporting.
• Providing guidance to retail staff to ensure excellent customer service and timely query resolution.
• Collaborating with internal departments (HR, Finance, Audit, Procurement) to build strong cross-functional relationships.
• Overseeing critical admin tasks: petty cash, bank reconciliations, vouchers, and stock claims.
• Mentoring and guiding team members to grow in their roles.
  

What We’re Looking For

• Grade 12 or NQF4 qualification.
• At least 4 years’ experience in a similar administrative role.
• Experience in the agriculture industry will be an advantage.
• Computer literacy, especially MS Word & Excel.
• Strong numerical and reconciliation skills.
• A person who is thorough, precise, accurate – but also approachable and supportive.
• Someone who can balance detail with people – helping others while safeguarding operational excellence.
• Bilingual in Afrikaans and English will serve as an advantage.
• 
  

The Type of Person Who Thrives Here

• You take pride in being the person others can count on.
• You see administration not just as paperwork – but as a vital function that enables farmers, customers, and colleagues to thrive.
• You’re hungry to learn, bold enough to take ownership, humble enough to listen, smart in your decisions, and a true team player.

Why VKB?
Joining VKB means becoming part of something bigger than yourself. It means working in a company that values its people, its farmers, and the land. It means building a legacy for generations to come.

If this sounds like you, and you’re ready to bring your skills, passion, and values to a company that’s making a difference – we’d love to hear from you.
