“The white gold of agriculture – transforming communities – requires renewed leadership.”

Cottco strives to be Africa’s Agribusiness giant, passionate about creating a winning world-class business through innovative partnerships and opportunities for farmers,  shareholders, Government, , and employees.

It is an equal-opportunity and gender sensitive employer and brand of choice.

Valcol Executive Appointments, a division of the Valcol Group, are privileged to represent Cottco in their search and selection of a new Managing Director to be based at Head Office, Harare.

The company’s milestones and achievements are many, and it looks forward to new accomplished leadership guiding and promoting one of Zimbabwe’s most significant Agri operations. The white gold of Cotton continues to transform many communities and lives across the nation, making Cottco a substantial and vital strategic asset to the people of Zimbabwe.

Our client, with the largest market share, and asset base with operations across the country, seeks to appoint an astute and accomplished business-entrepreneur leader. A broad level of profound, and wise management competencies and abilities is required. These fundamental skills shall set the future pace with management style across Cottco’s massive operations and value-added businesses and continue to expand on its established and new growth path. Change is imminent.

You must offer a firm business and generalist background, not constricted to the agriculture sector, although this direct experience would be a distinct advantage. Ideally, it would be best if you were well-known across the business sector, with an impeccable career track record, and crucially ready to embrace and attack the challenge of this demanding operation head-on. This role would suit a business leader currently at the helm or an executive prepared to assume a leadership role of significance. It would also attract a senior executive in Zimbabwe or beyond, , looking for the right career opportunity and wishing to contribute and build a national asset. Your passion and ardent desire for community development by uplifting people through business methods is a crucial driver wanted.

The vision of Cottco, led by the Board Chairperson and Non – Executive Directors, management and staff, allows for a diverse mandate with unwavering opportunity and support to steer and promote business for profit and growth.

Collectively determined and passionate, cotton farmers, through development and innovative partnerships, remain the essential factor and the cornerstone for Cottco’s success today and for the future. Each new marketing season ensures broad base success and rewards for all participants.

Naturally, candidates of distinction must offer a noticeably high level of education and post-qualifying achievement in professional and recognised qualifications, which automatically would set their application above the rest.

Supported by dedicated employees across many professions, your team shall be geared adequately and ready to ensure each division meets its objectives and deliverables for team success.

Are you the business leader we seek, capable of directing a prized national asset across Zimbabwe?

If the answer is yes – we would like to hear from you.
