About the Role

As Retail Rotational Supervisor, you’ll be responsible for supporting/temporarily managing OAF shops and will assist customers with purchasing Agri-related merchandise through mobile payments. As a hybrid job type, you will be required to travel to multiple rural/town locations to fill in gaps where there are shortages or a need for additional staff. As the retail supervisor, you will manage diverse agricultural products and facilitating mobile payments introduces challenges in ensuring a smooth transition to cashless transactions and tracking inventory levels and preventing losses or overstock situations, which presents a challenge, requiring an inventory management system.

You can explore digital solutions, marketing, and partnerships to enhance the customer experience. Embracing sustainability and promoting eco-friendly agricultural practices aligns with evolving consumer preferences, allowing for positive community engagement and market expansion.
