Taimba is a small team doing unglamorous, physical, deeply useful work: buying from farm
groups at dawn, grading and packing overnight, and putting fresh produce on a grocer’s shelf
before their first customer arrives. If that sounds like your kind of problem, we would like
to hear from you.
What it is like here
- Field first. Most roles spend real time with farm groups and in the market, not only behind a desk.
- Small team, wide brief. You will own more than your job title suggests.
- Numbers matter. Waste, grade-out rates, on-time delivery, farmer payment turnaround — we manage what we measure.
- Relationships are the product. Farmers and retailers are not just trading partners, but friends we happen to do business with.
