WFP is advertising a Logistics Officer and a Logistics Assistant in Lusaka, with a deadline of 9 November 2026, and a Programme Associate listed in Mumbwa, with a deadline of 5 November.
The World Food Programme has 3 posts open in Zambia on its careers site. Two are logistics posts in Lusaka, up since 26 October 2026, with a deadline of 9 November. The third is a Programme Associate post listed in Mumbwa, up since 30 October, with a deadline of 5 November. Both deadlines fall at 23:59 Lusaka time.
The Logistics Assistant (SSA) looks after warehouse work and reports to the Logistics Officer. It asks for completed secondary school and five years in warehouse operations, inventory, commodity handling and stock control. A diploma or degree in logistics, supply chain, procurement or a related subject is desirable, not required.
The Logistics Officer (NOA) leads the logistics unit in the country office and reports to the Deputy Country Director. You need an advanced degree in a field such as supply chain, logistics, transport economics or engineering plus one year of postgraduate logistics experience in a humanitarian or related setting. A first degree with three more years of related work or training also counts.
The Programme Associate (SC6) asks for a university degree in agriculture, agronomy, agribusiness, agricultural economics, livestock, natural resource management or a similar field, and at least 6 years of relevant work. The title says multiple duty stations, but the page names only Mumbwa, so read it closely before you apply.
All three ask for fluent English, and you can only apply through WFP's online system. WFP says it won't consider CVs sent by email, LinkedIn or any other channel. At this stage you only need a CV and a cover letter, and only shortlisted people are contacted. The adverts don't give a pay figure.
The adverts also say the United Nations charges no fee at any stage of recruitment. Applying is free and nobody should pay for a job.
On 1 November 2026, workzambia.net listed 270 open roles, 165 of them remote. 27 adverts were dated in the previous seven days, from the World Food Programme, FirstRand, First Quantum and Barrick among others.
Mununshi Fruit Company in Mwense District is hiring one plantation manager, one accountant and one procurement officer. The adverts are on the Industrial Development Corporation's vacancies page and close on 10 November 2026.
First Quantum Minerals put up 3 Zambian adverts between 22 and 29 October 2026. Its careers site shows them ending on 6, 9 and 12 November, so it's worth applying early.
