What are the responsibilities and job description for the Cost & Inventory Control Manager position at Agrovision?
Agrovision is a global food company disrupting the traditional produce category by inspiring nutritious and enjoyable snacking. Our berries delight consumers in every bite, offering unmatched flavor, size, and quality. Through our leading brand, Fruitist, we’re setting a new standard in the berry category, with a signature taste, jumbo size, and reliable quality that consumers love.

By leveraging cutting-edge technology and a relentless focus on excellence, we’re not just growing berries; we’re creating a global movement of premium berry enthusiasts, with a year-round supply of the freshest, tastiest berries in the world.
