Operations Specialist – Multi Green, Villiers

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 have established with the support of our farmer shareholders is the foundation for building the agribusiness of the future.

The company is highly respected within the farming community and fertilizer industry for its reliability, quality, and operational excellence.

About the Role

At Multi Green, we’re not just producing fertiliser — we’re enabling farmers to perform at their best. We’re looking for a high-impact Operations Specialist who can bring structure, precision, and insight into a fast-moving production environment.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives on ownership, coordination, and solving complex operational challenges across planning, production, and logistics.

Why This Role Matters

You will play a critical role in ensuring that orders, production, and logistics operate seamlessly, enabling the business to deliver on client expectations while maintaining operational efficiency and compliance.

• Partner with Sales to deliver exceptional client service and maintain strong stakeholder relationships.

Ensure Stock & Supply Alignment

• Prevent overstocking and manage inventory effectively.

Coordinate Logistics & Communication

• Act as the central link between production, sales, and logistics, ensuring real-time communication flow.
• Keep all stakeholders informed on delivery status and scheduling updates.

What We’re Looking For

Experience & Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
• Minimum 3 years’ experience in a fertiliser or agricultural production environment

Technical Capability

• Strong systems capability (Excel, Business Central, and Microsoft Office suite)

Leadership & Personal Attributes

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Highly organised and detail-driven
• Able to work independently under pressure
• A natural coordinator and communicator with strong stakeholder management skills
• Decisive, analytical, and able to prioritise effectively
• Willing to work flexibly when operations demand it

What Will Set You Apart

• Experience working in cross-functional environments (production, finance, logistics)
• A mindset focused on continuous improvement and efficiency
• Ability to balance commercial thinking with operational discipline

What You Can Expect

• A role with high visibility and impact across the value chain
• Exposure to strategic planning and operational optimisation
• Opportunity to grow your career within a leading agricultural group
