Managing Director

 

Lead the transformation of our pioneering organic food business
Zsamboki Biokert was set up in 2010 to build an organic market garden in Zsambok to
supply organic vegetables to customers in Budapest and Godollo. Our goal is to create a
thriving venture which grows healthy foods while enriching soil and biodiversity and
strengthening the community.
Today we run a popular box scheme which delivers to 10 pick-up points in and around
Budapest and runs a well-established stall at the organic market in Budapest with a loyal
base of customers.
We see an opportunity to grow our box scheme business significantly and create a
financially strong venture with a strong committed community and bringing about ecological
improvements to the Hungarian countryside and beyond.
We are hiring a Managing Director to lead the transformation of our box scheme business
and grow it substantially.
