Head of Business Development — Incubation Egg Project
About the Role
Aitas Holding — one of Kazakhstan’s leading agro-industrial groups — is launching a new business line, “Incubation Egg”, aimed at creating a sustainable, efficient, and integrated business model within the company’s ecosystem.
We are looking for a Head of Business Unit to develop, launch, and scale this direction from the ground up — ensuring strategic growth, operational efficiency, and financial sustainability.
This is a strategic leadership role combining strategy, project management, and business development — not day-to-day administration.
Key Responsibilities
-
Develop a 3–5 year strategy and Go-to-Market plan for the “Incubation Egg” business line.
-
Conduct market and competitor analysis, define the business model and investment plan.
-
Lead the full-cycle project launch: team formation, budgeting, risk and stakeholder management.
-
Build strategic partnerships with farmers, hatcheries, suppliers, and distributors.
-
Develop B2B sales channels and ensure operational integration (“production → incubation → distribution”).
-
Build financial models, monitor ROI, and drive profitability improvements.
-
Travel to production sites and partner facilities as required to oversee operations and partnerships.
Requirements
-
Proven experience in managing business units or large-scale projects (launch, development, scaling).
-
Strong strategic, analytical, and leadership skills.
-
Experience with cross-functional teams and multi-stakeholder environments.
-
Higher education in Economics, Business, Engineering, or Agrotechnology (preferred).
-
Solid understanding of P&L management, business modeling, and investment analysis.
-
Fluent Russian and English.
Preferred Background
-
Experience in B2B sales, agriculture, logistics, or FMCG.
-
Ability to work effectively in dynamic, evolving environments.
-
Strong decision-making, systems thinking, and communication skills.
What We Offer
-
Opportunity to build and lead a new business direction within a leading agro-industrial company.
-
Strategic influence, autonomy, and impact on the future of the sector.
-
Professional growth in a results-driven and innovation-focused environment.
-
Competitive compensation and performance-based bonuses.
-
Business travel and active field engagement with partners and production sites.
