You'll bring strong experience in the agriculture or dairy sector - or a proven track record in agribusiness sales, account management, or business development.

6. Provide technical advice and insights to both existing and prospective clients
7. Produce financial reports with a focus on dairy farm costings
8. Oversee project management tasks including tenders and full project lifecycles
9. Collaborate across functional teams

Additional Responsibilities

1. Support industry knowledge exchange through technical writing and face-to-face communication
2. Potential to take on team leadership responsibilities in the future
3. Provide support on smaller accounts where required
4. Assist with broader business functions within the office as needed

You will bring:

1. A broad background in agriculture or agribusiness
2. Strong skills in data analysis, interpretation, and management
3. A proactive mindset towards business development and sales
4. Solid commercial acumen and confidence with financial data
5. The ability to make sound, complex decisions with autonomy
