JOB DETAILS:

DGB Group is a publicly listed nature restoration company turning reforestation and regeneration into real-world assets: trees, carbon credits, cookstoves — and now, coffee.

We’ve planted millions of trees. We’ve built a network of thousands of smallholder farmers. We’ve secured verified carbon programs. The next step is trade.

We are now building a verified supply chain to take coffee from farmer to global buyer. This will create income for rural communities, support biodiversity, and generate long-term credit value through agroforestry-linked models.

To make this happen, we are looking for a Coffee Supply Chain Expert — someone who knows the coffee business inside out and can help us set up the entire value chain from scratch.

This is not just another export job. It’s a rare chance to create something entirely new: a traceable, ethical, and climate-positive commodity pipeline from Uganda (and beyond) to the world.

Whether you’re an ambitious junior or a proven leader, your mission is clear: make trade flow. You’ll be hands-on in:

• Designing and launching the full value chain: aggregation, hulling, quality control, storage, trucking, export
• Mapping and costing every step from farmer to buyer
• Building partnerships with cooperatives, processors, transporters, and international buyers
• Piloting shipments (target: 3 truckloads/day = 120 tonnes/week of hulled coffee)
• Setting standards and SOPs for verified, agroforestry-linked commodities
• Signing export agreements and landing long-term buyers
• Preparing cacao as a second wave if coffee operations succeed

Requirements

• Experience with coffee trade in Uganda
• Practical knowledge of logistics, export documentation, and buyer relations
• Ability to work in the field and speak with farmers and transporters
• Understanding of certification standards (Fairtrade, Organic, Gold Standard, etc.)
• Strong analytical, communication, and project execution skills
• Fluent in English; Swahili, Luganda, or French is a plus

Benefits

• Role adapted to your level: junior, mid, or executive
• Competitive package with bonuses tied to volume and exports
• Real impact — not symbolic CSR
• Work directly with global buyers, farmer cooperatives, and restoration teams
• Join a fast-growing public company shaping the future of climate-linked commodities
