Quality & Sustainability Executive

When you join GAR, you join something bigger. Big in scale, big in opportunities to grow, and big in impact. With over 100,000 employees across 14 countries, spanning Asia, Europe, North America, and South America, Golden Agri-Resources (GAR) is one of the largest agribusinesses in the world. We manage over half a million hectares of palm oil plantations, including smallholder farms, across Indonesia. But our size is only part of the story. Since 1997, we’ve put sustainability at the centre of how we grow, working hand-in-hand with farmers, communities, and partners to deliver food, fuel, and a better future.

We’re a seed-to-shelf business rooted in palm oil, now expanding across other essential crops like sugar, soybean, sunflower, and coconut.

Our people are our edge. We invest in them through global opportunities, cross-border exposure, and continuous learning, because growing a better business starts with growing our people.

Here, your career feeds something meaningful for the planet, people, and generations to come.

As Quality & Sustainability Executive, you’ll support quality management systems across our operations in Europe and LATAM. You’ll help execute GAR plans and projects, and implement methodologies across our European businesses, ensuring compliance with the latest feed, food, regulatory, and customer requirements. This role involves travel between our various offices.

We’re looking for someone who is self-driven, result-oriented, and customer-focused, with strong communication and interpersonal skills. You should be humble and resilient, able to influence for positive outcomes, and bring a methodical, analytical approach to your work. Proactive and flexible, you adapt easily to changing policies, procedures, and priorities, execute plans with a strong sense of urgency, and excel at problem-solving, decision-making, planning, and organization.
