About the Unit

  Founded in 1905 to solve the emerging famine in Europe, Yara grows knowledge to responsibly feed the world and protect the planet. Supporting our vision of a world without hunger, we pursue a strategy of sustainable value growth, promoting climate-friendly and high-yielding crop nutrition solutions for the world’s farming community and food industry. Our ambition is to be the Crop Nutrition Company for the Future. We are committed to creating value for our customers, shareholders and society at large, as we work to develop a more sustainable food value chain. To achieve our ambition, we have taken the lead in developing digital farming tools for precision farming and work closely with partners throughout the food value chain to improve the efficiency and sustainability of agriculture and food production.      About the Market Yara Latam Since 1965, Yara has established a unique position in Latin America as the industry’s only global crop nutrition company. With our integrated business model, a regional presence of around 1,300 employees and operations in over 10 countries, we offer a proven track record of responsible and reliable returns.      About the Shared Service Center Since 2016, BULA's shared services center has been providing transactional services for the different work units in Latin America, thus allowing greater agility and centralization of tasks, making some of the strategic areas less operational.

The position will be based in Cartagena de Indias Colombia and will have a direct report line to the Operational Excellence Senior Analyst     About the Position
