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 general 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.

We are looking for a Commercial Manager to join our fast-growing Latin American team based in Barranquilla, Colombia. You'll build our market position by sourcing from mills, refineries and traders, developing new business opportunities and client relationships, and negotiating and closing deals across the region — starting with hands-on training before taking the lead on expanding our presence in Colombia and Latin America. We're looking for someone self-driven and results-oriented, with strong networking, communication and negotiation skills, a sharp analytical mind, and the ability to work comfortably across different cultures and hierarchy levels.

If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you!

imports and domestic sales in Colombia — spotting and closing deals that fuel volume, margin and growth targets, while opening doors to new customers, suppliers, products and partnerships.
- Build and grow strong relationships with customers, suppliers, distributors and logistics partners — solving issues fast and finding win-win opportunities that protect GAR's interests.
