Perfect role for a mid professional looking to grow their AgriTech career in Glasgow.

Agriculture is under more scrutiny than almost any other sector right now. Supply chains, land use, emissions reporting, all of it under a microscope from regulators, investors and buyers alike.

Confident communicator who can explain a regulatory requirement to someone with zero patience for jargon

A degree in environmental science, sustainability, agriculture or a related field (or equivalent experience)

Genuinely curious about AgriTech. This isn't a role for someone who just wants an ESG title on a CV

Salary of £31,000 to £46,000, depending on experience

Hybrid working, with time split between the Glasgow office and home

Private medical insurance and pension contribution
