Context and environment

Zimbabwe is going through a time of extraordinary socio-economic and political changes. The scarcity of hard currency is strongly affecting the industry and hence the financial position of the dealers and caretakers is increasing the risks of fraud and unethical behaviour. In this environment, the incumbent will lead by example and work to ensure full compliance with Total Group HSE policies, technical referential and Code of Conduct. The market is regulated by ZERA with a complicated supply plan due to its land locked situation and predominant positions of global trading houses. TZIM has developed a leading position in network (27% market share) which needs to be defended and optimized.
