REVAMP, REBRANDING AND EVENT ACTIVATION OF THE AGRIBANK EXHIBITION STAND – Agribank of Namibia

A relevant diploma or degree in marketing, communications, event management, or graphic design is commonly expected. Professional certifications such as the Namibian Institute of Architects (NIA) endorsement for spatial design elements—or CIPD-accredited short courses in branding—may strengthen applications. Practical experience with exhibition stand construction and compliance with Namibian Occupational Health and Safety Act (No. 85 of 1993) standards is often prioritised.

You’ll coordinate with local contractors, suppliers, and Agribank’s internal team to execute stand design, build, and activation timelines aligned with Namibian agricultural events like NAMPO or the Windhoek Agricultural Show. Daily tasks include site inspections at venues such as the Windhoek Country Club or Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) exhibition halls, managing logistics under Namibian weather conditions, and ensuring bilingual (English and local language) signage compliance.

Punctuality, respect for hierarchical reporting structures, and relationship-building through face-to-face engagement remain important, especially when liaising with Agribank’s regional offices and communal land stakeholders. Employers value adaptability to Namibia’s public holiday calendar, flexible scheduling around peak farming seasons, and sensitivity to cultural protocols during community-facing activations.

Successful delivery can lead to roles such as Senior Brand Activation Manager within Namibian financial institutions or freelance consultancy for agri-sector clients across SADC. Some professionals transition into government-linked agencies like the Namibian Investment Promotion and Development Board (NIPDB), leveraging experience in public-sector branding projects. Continued professional development via NAMFISA-recognised marketing credentials supports long-term growth.

Contractors may receive pro-rata annual leave (minimum 21 days per annum under Namibian Labour Act), access to employer-nominated medical aid schemes like NAMAF or Medshield Namibia, and voluntary pension contributions via approved retirement funds. Benefits depend on contract type—full-time hires usually qualify for full statutory benefits, while short-term consultants negotiate terms individually per the Namibian Employment Act.

Submit your CV and portfolio via Agribank’s official careers portal or through verified recruitment partners like Manpower Namibia or Career Junction Namibia—always include Namibian ID and proof of work permit if applicable. Employers prioritise demonstrable experience with Namibian event regulations (e.g., City of Windhoek exhibition permits), fluency in English plus at least one local language, and evidence of past collaboration with Namibian SMMEs or rural cooperatives.
