Vacancies

From the very beginning, I was very much interested to work in a company that follows European standards and has an international management team. So I was really glad to be hired as an HR manager, the profession I was trained for and had experience in.

While at work, I learned much from my colleagues and regular visits to production facilities during the site tours and stocktaking activities any employee could take part in. Eventually, I took a real liking to the work with pigs as I am very keen on animals. On the other hand, you need to be skilled and experienced in veterinary, feed, finance and many other fields to manage a pig production site. Although I did not have specific knowledge and experience in pig management, I was determined to work in this area.

This might leave non-insiders wondering, but the management supported me and gave me a try, having appointed me first as an assistant to an experienced manager of a breeding farm. Just 7 months after this move, I was appointed as a Farm Manager. Now my responsibility is to manage an integrated commercial farm producing 30,000 pigs per annum.

If you have a strong desire, you need to go for something you really want to do, no matter what training or experience you have. Most important is that Otrada is a company that can make your dream come true. Of course, this won't happen without efforts on your part.

In 2008, I graduated from the Lipetsk State Technical University with a degree in Accounting, Analysis and Audit. Almost right after graduation, I was hired as an assistant to the financial director of the Company. I was attracted by growth opportunities in a professional European-managed team. Thanks to its development strategy and corporate values, the Company has always offered career development opportunities to those who really want to grow and strive to do their utmost for this purpose.

I was an intermediary between the IFRS and Russian accounting offices at that time, and was very much proud of it. My functions and responsibilities changed and expanded, making me move ahead, acquire solid experience, become a genuine professional, and develop management skills.
At any point of time, I was always supported by our team of professional, helpful and interesting people.

After that, I was a senior accountant, a financial specialist and a financial manager to finally become Chief Accounting Officer of the group of companies. It is an extremely valuable experience to walk the whole way from the start, be promoted and keep growing and developing with the Company. There is no limit to professional development, and our company proves it beyond doubt.

When I was browsing job ads on the Internet, my attention was drawn to the office manager position in Otrada. The job description appealed to me even more than the position itself, especially the last part saying about ‘options of career development’.

I got a chance to move ahead in my career one year after joining. Now I work as an operation manager of slaughterhouses. I would not say that I have ever dreamed of such a job. Neither would you think of a girl that has dreamed of a job at the slaughterhouse. In fact, this is a very interesting industry. Most of my colleagues share the same opinion.

The management gives opportunities to everyone who is keen on learning, developing and exploring new areas. This makes you want to do your utmost to meet their expectations.
