ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re now looking for a Regional Sales Manager who enjoys leading from the front, developing people, and delivering strong results while staying true to our purpose.

This role is about backing your team to succeed. You’ll spend time in the field, coaching and supporting Nutrient Specialists, helping them have better conversations with customers and turn opportunity into long term value. You’ll also keep a close eye on performance, making sure plans are on track and the region delivers against its goals.

In this role, you will:

ABOUT YOU

You’ll bring strong people leadership skills, a good head for sales, and a genuine interest in agriculture. You know that the best results come from trust, follow through and showing up for your team and your customers. You’re comfortable having honest conversations, making decisions, and staying focused on what matters most.

In return, you’ll be part of a supportive and purpose driven organisation that values its people and the communities it serves. You’ll have the chance to lead a capable team, grow your own skills, and make a real difference in the future of farming.
