We’re focused on providing superior genetics, reliable testing and diagnostics, integrated on-farm software, and great customer service, all designed to help farmers make smarter decisions every day.

As a proud generational co-operative, we’re here for farmers, their families, and rural communities, not just for today, but for the future. And none of it happens without our people. Whether on farm, in the lab, or behind the scenes, every one of us plays a part in helping New Zealand farmers succeed.

• Partner across product, operations, sales, marketing and support teams to embed customer thinking
• Measure and demonstrate the impact of CX initiatives, linking them to business outcomes and ROI
• Ensure all experience initiatives align to LIC’s broader strategy and priorities

About You

• Proven experience in customer experience, service design, or similar roles
• Strong track record delivering measurable improvements in customer outcomes

• Experience improving end-to-end customer journeys and solving pain points
• Proficient in human-centred design and Design Thinking methodologies
• Strong facilitation and stakeholder engagement skills across diverse teams
