Job Description

Agbeyewa Farms is a large, professionally run agribusiness based in Ekiti State, Nigeria. We focus on growing cassava using modern machines and improved farming methods to produce high-quality crops for food and industrial use.

We farm on a large scale and use organized systems, skilled teams, and technology to manage our operations and improve productivity. This helps us achieve better yields, control costs, and ensure a steady supply of raw materials.

With the acquisition of Matna Foods Limited, a leading cassava starch processing company, Agbeyewa Farms now plays an important role across the value chain — from farming to processing. Our work supports food security, provides raw materials for industries, and creates jobs that help rural communities grow.

We are committed to safe work practices, responsible land use, and protecting the environment, while building strong relationships with our host communities and creating opportunities for local talent.

The Business Process Manager will play a strategic role in driving operational excellence, process optimization, governance, and continuous improvement across Agbeyewa Farms’ highly mechanized cassava farming operations.

As we continue to grow, Agbeyewa Farms is building a model that can expand across Africa, driven by professionalism, efficiency, and a clear focus on long-term impact.

The role is responsible for designing, implementing, standardizing, and continuously improving business and operational processes that enhance productivity, efficiency, scalability, cost optimization, operational control, and overall farm performance across land preparation, planting, crop maintenance, mechanized harvesting, input management, warehouse operations, logistics, processing support activities, and supply chain operations.

As Agbeyewa Farms continues to scale its commercial cassava farming operations, the Business Process Manager will be instrumental in building structured operational systems, improving workflow efficiency, strengthening process governance, optimizing equipment and resource utilization, and supporting data-driven operational decision-making across multiple farm locations.

The ideal candidate will possess strong experience in operational process management within large-scale mechanized agricultural or industrial environments, with the capability to drive operational transformation initiatives, standardize procedures, improve cross-functional coordination, and embed a culture of continuous improvement aligned with world-class agribusiness and mechanized farming standards.

Working closely with farm operations, engineering, maintenance, supply chain, processing, finance, HSE, and technology teams, the Business Process Manager will establish operational standards, monitor process performance, support automation and digital transformation initiatives, improve operational visibility, and drive sustainable efficiency improvements that support Agbeyewa Farms’ long-term growth and operational excellence objectives.
