Agri Manager

2 weeks ago

Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand Ravensdown Full time

About the Role:


We are looking for a driven, customer focused agri-professional for a permanent Agri Manager role based out of our Ashburton Store.

Our Agri Managers are trained and trusted advisors helping farmers get the most from their soil, pasture, crops and animals while assisting them to transition towards environmentally sustainable practices.

Also helping to reduce their environmental impacts and optimise value from the land through the provision of nutrient advice, services and products.


As a key link to our farmers you'll have an important part to play in the success of their business; serving up the products, support and innovative solutions our farmers have come to rely on us for.

Of course, this means the bulk of your time will be spent on the road and on the farms, identifying farmers' needs, selling tailored solutions, and strengthening relationships based on trust, credibility and mutual respect.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Plan and implement a programme for visiting current and prospective customers, assessing their requirements and advising them on the most appropriate products and services, thus achieving sales targets.
  • Utilise the available technology to give maximum benefit to Ravensdown shareholders in terms of profitability and environmental leadership.
  • Create a plan to reduce their environmental impacts and optimise value from the land.
  • Ensure that end users' needs and expectations are met through the continuous development of abilities and knowledge.

About You:


While helping farmers increase their profitability is a key focus of this role, you're set for some impressive growth of your own.

Because in terms of growing your career, there's no better way to get more from your agriculture qualification, not to mention your comprehensive knowledge of soil fertility and farming inputs.

And since you enjoy a good yarn, we reckon the social, down-to-earth camaraderie that comes with this job will be right up your alley.


Ideal Skills & Experience:

  • Bachelor's degree in agriculture or related qualification
  • Sound knowledge of farms systems
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to build strong relationships
  • Understanding of changing landscape of New Zealand environmental policy and its implications for farmers
  • Tech savvy with knowledge of agricultural technology systems
  • Certified Nutrient Management Advisor Qualification (not a requirement)

Benefits:

  • Excellent benefits package (competitive salary, 5% superannuation, medical insurance, allowances, company car)
  • Ongoing training and development
  • Great company culture
