Farming businesses are built on people and we're committed to finding the right person so are in market again. If you're a Farm Manager who enjoys leading people, making decisions and being part of a larger farming operation, this role is for you.

This is an opportunity to join a progressive dairy business with strong values, excellent infrastructure and a genuine long-term vision. For the right person, there are career opportunities beyond Farm Manager, including pathways into contract milking and farm supervision.

With its people, animals and environment in mind, Pouarua has made substantial investment across their farms, including halter, new cowsheds, infrastructure and system improvements. Their focus is on sustainable performance, strong people leadership, responsible guardianship of the land and producing quality outcomes for future generations.

What’s on offer:

• An immediate start and opportunity to step in and lead an established team


• 600-cow operation with a modern 54-bale rotary shed featuring Protrack, in-shed feeding, and automatic cup removers


• Prime Hauraki Plains location, close to town and within easy reach of Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, and the Coromandel


• Attractive roster and remuneration package, including a four-bedroom house.


• Ongoing training, development, and career growth opportunities within a wider farming business

You’ll lead a team of 2 full-time staff, with support from casual part-time labour, and oversee the day-to-day performance of the farm across people leadership, milk production, animal health, pasture management, environmental compliance and overall farm presentation.

This role will suit a capable and motivated manager who can build a high performing team, maintain strong systems, manage budgets and farm targets, and contribute positively to the wider Pouarua business. With strong operational support, quality infrastructure and clear systems already in place, this is a fantastic opportunity to step into a meaningful role and make a real impact.

Pouarua Farms is owned by five Hauraki Iwi: Ngāti Maru, Ngāti Pāoa, Ngāti Tamaterā, Ngāti Tara Tokanui, and Te Patukirikiri. Their investment is grounded in a deep connection to the land and a commitment to building long-term prosperity for their people, their business, and their community.

If this opportunity sounds like you, we would love to hear from you and receive an application.
