**Purpose of the role & how you will contribute: **

As an experienced leader, you will manage and develop a small team of County Advisers, who together manage around 80 NFU Group Secretaries (Farming Agents). County Advisers and Group Secretaries are the first point of contact for NFU members who are at the heart of everything we do, from member recruitment, events, services and local lobbying.

Your experience of building and leading teams that deliver, combined with proven influencing and communication skills will be evidenced in your ability to build effective relationships with members and wider stakeholders alike. With some experience of operating in a sales environment, you will be goal oriented, able to work under pressure and meet deadlines in order to achieve membership retention and growth targets.
The role will require working outside of standard hours and extensive travel throughout the region, therefore flexibility is essential.
