About The Role

You will be the champion of agricultural farm sales out of your branch delivering ‘Agricultural Excellence’, answering to and coordinating the requirement of farmer shareholders and farmer customers.

The main objective of the position is to ‘meet and greet’ farmers and shareholders coming into the branch.
