Osborne Richardson is working exclusively with Forney Enterprises, a founder-led food manufacturing and export business based in Luganville, Espiritu Santo. Forney is now in its twentieth year, with significant manufacturing capability, an established international market presence, and a strong reputation for quality and trusted customer relationships. The founders are ready to hand over day-to-day leadership. The business doesn't need rebuilding as it needs a General Manager who can strengthen the leadership, systems and financial discipline to take it to the next stage of growth.
The role
Reporting to the founders, you'll have full P&L accountability and lead the Senior Leadership Team across Operations, Finance, People & Culture, Quality, Supply and Commercial.
- Turn strategy into clear priorities, accountability and measurable results
- Build a stable, capable leadership team and lead through them
- Drive financial discipline across cost, margin, cash, working capital and capex
- Lift production reliability, through output & yield + food safety
- Develop Ni-Vanuatu leaders and build succession for the long term
About you
- A proven General Manager or equivalent executive with full P&L accountability
- A background in regulated food manufacturing or processing
- Commercially sharp, comfortable with budgets, margin, cost and investments
- Able to strengthen and scale a business at a pace it can absorb
- Culturally intelligent, grounded, and ready to commit to living in Vanuatu
- Experience in a founder-led or family business in developing markets
Why this role
This is a rare chance to step into a business with real substance and become the leader who secures its future. It's a meaningful executive role with genuine autonomy, a close working relationship with the founders, and a lifestyle few roles can offer. An attractive expatriate package is on offer as the position is based permanently full-time in Vanuatu.
