Job Description
About the job
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.
