York, United Kingdom Agricultural and Farming Jobs Agency Full time

**Role Purpose**:
The company is now significantly expanding its contracting capability and positioning in the UK and as such is looking for someone to combine on-farm technical agronomy support with trials/R&D, crop yield improvements, grower contracting and prospecting, and oil sales support.
- Crop trials (replicated with third party providers, and in-field grower areas), support and development of other crops within all UK regions alongside existing team members where necessary.
- Develop relationships with third party agronomists, trials providers, R&D funders, government organisations, agrochemical/crop protection businesses and fertiliser companies, giving presentations and talks where required.
- Increasing the area of crop through direct farmer contracting will be required, as well as developing and managing the UK grower database.
- Business development on the oil marketing front in conjunction with our US Technical and Sales Teams by identifying, contacting and presenting early stage introductions to potential UK and EU oil buyers in a range of industries (dietary supplements, food, equine, cosmetic etc).
**Accountabilities**:

- Support the UK Agronomy function with field visits, agronomy recommendations and agronomist assistance to existing contracted growers.
- Act as a point of contact for agronomists and advisors to any contracted growers.
- Close new grower contracts for all crops to meet targeted hectares required for the business.
- Assist the UK director with commercial activities as appropriate.
- Assist in crop marketing/presentations/shows/field events as necessary
- Support the Sales & Technical function by identifying likely oil buyers throughout the UK and EU.
- Developing contacts, carrying out introductory presentations and then handing over to the US sales and regulatory team to finalise commercial deals. This aspect of the role will be reporting to the Group Sales manager.
- It is expected that approximately 70% of work will be on the UK contracting and agronomy side, and 30% on the oil sales and expansion role (approximate, depending on company needs/agronomic urgency).
**Knowledge, skills and experience**:

- Ideally degree or higher-level educated in agricultural/scientific discipline
- Minimum of 1 years' post graduate experience in commercial agriculture/agronomy/sales/business development.
- BASIS and/or FACTS qualifications desirable (but not essential).
- A scientific/agricultural background is essential - a working knowledge of the UK arable sector is preferred.
- Commercial and/or sales experience is also preferred (e.g. seed/fertiliser/plant protection/machinery).
- Willingness to travel regularly/stay overnight within UK/EU as needed at key times.
- Good computer skills
- Clean driving licence
