Job Description

Shayashone PLC (SYS) is a leading agribusiness company in Ethiopia, boasting over a decade of experience and a remarkable trajectory of transformative impact. As an icon of progress, the company’s expertise extends beyond agriculture and agri-business services, as it continues to diversify its reach into other sectors, driven by a profound commitment to serving the unserved. SYS’s unwavering dedication has left an indelible mark, reaching and empowering over 10 million farmers across Ethiopia and neighboring countries.

At the heart of these accomplishments lies the Hermetic Storage Technology (Purdue Improved Crop Storage (PICS) bags), a pioneering solution that has gained widespread acceptance as the most successful technology in preventing post-harvest losses.

The company’s recent expansion into the educational sector further reflects its commitment to holistic development and its unwavering focus on addressing diverse needs within the communities it serves. In partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, the Ministry of Education of the FDRE (MoE), and Arizona State University (ASU), SYS is implementing the project titled e-Learning for Strengthening Higher Education (e-SHE). This project aims to enhance the quality, accessibility, and affordability of higher education by launching a digital Learning Management System across public universities in Ethiopia.
