INALCA is seeking, for Maputo, an Import Director: someone who ensures all paperwork is complete and fully compliant, keeps the import team running productively, and guarantees that operations strictly adhere to goods entry, safety,
and environmental regulations. This is a leadership role in a food business linked to an international group — you can apply by email with your CV and cover letter within the deadline shown on this page.
The local Mozambican branch is named Indústria Alimentar Carnes de Moçambique, Lda — trading as INALCA — and shares its branding and hiring channels with the Italian group Inalca S.p.A. Their main website highlights an international reach spanning 70 countries, featuring 13 distribution platforms in Africa fitted with cold-chain facilities,
plus manufacturing setups in places such as Angola and Algeria. In short: this is a major food multinational running its own supply network with a constant flow of cargo moving across borders — exactly the kind of setup where an import director sits right at the heart of operations.
The role spans three key areas that feed into one another:
Since this is a food operation, product safety is directly your responsibility: understanding the hazards attached to incoming goods and the risks connected to your own tasks is a core duty, not an added extra. There is also a strong element of foresight—anticipating potential issues before they occur so cargo never stalls at the border because of an avoidable oversight.
We aren't simply looking for someone who knows customs inside out. The role calls for practical experience in international trade, logistics, or supply chain management, backed by business training — you can find the exact details listed under the requirements section of this page. What truly makes an impact in your day-to-day work is your approach: striking solid deals with domestic and international partners without sacrificing precision,
keeping goods moving during peak clearance volumes, and making sure every shipment has a clear owner and deadline. A single import held up by a review oversight has instant costs in the food sector — if you naturally stay ahead of potential issues instead of constantly tackling emergencies, this position will fit you well.
The job notice highlights two key points: attractive pay tailored to the role and your background, plus a multinational company culture — with the listing pointing out a youthful work environment. The business hasn't shared specific salary figures — and we don't make up numbers that aren't provided by the source; if you move forward to the salary discussion, that's your chance to negotiate based on your own experience.
Email applications have a long-standing drawback: you send off your resume and face radio silence — never knowing if anyone actually reviewed your application. Inademy does not change this company’s internal selection process — nobody can honestly promise you that — but we do help you show up far better prepared for your next move.
Set up your free profile and keep your resume and cover letter updated there; also turn on new vacancy alerts for logistics, industry, and commerce: they arrive straight to your email and WhatsApp, ensuring the next right role does not slip by while you are looking elsewhere.
Before you send off your application, it is well worth checking out two of our guides: our cover letter guide shows you how to write a straightforward letter, just as this company requests attached; and our Mozambique CV guide — 2026 edition helps you present your background clearly on a page that hiring managers can scan quickly.
Get two key documents ready, as detailed in the requirements on this page: your updated CV complete with references, and your cover letter. Send everything to recrutamento.moz@inalca.it with the subject line «Director de Importação» — write it exactly like that, as requested in the listing.
Where and by when: your email must arrive within the equipaframe set by the job source — you will find this date highlighted at the bottom of this page. Make sure to send it early: a director-level application arriving at the last minute because of connection glitches leaves a poor impression on those looking for someone to manage deadlines.
19 September 2026 — this is the closing date stated by the job source.
