Our Story
The Customer Experience team is the heartbeat of Farmlands. We don’t just answer questions - we deliver an exceptional experience. We focus on first‑contact resolution and work together to make it easier for our shareholders, customers and internal teams across the motu to do business with us.

You’ll build trusted relationships, solve problems with confidence, and support shareholders, customers and internal teams - working to clear standards of excellence with the autonomy to see things through and the support to grow as you go.
You’ll bring a responsive, customer‑first mindset and sound judgement to a wide range of enquiries. This is a role where curiosity is encouraged, learning is constant, and no two days are ever the same.
Along the way, you’ll gain exposure to the agri‑sector and the breadth of Farmlands’ operations while developing specialist knowledge including AML compliance. From day one, our innovative quarterly induction programme is designed to set you up for success, supported by ongoing learning and upskilling as your capability grows.

Ongoing learning, upskilling and clear internal career pathways
Exposure to the agri‑sector and the wider Farmlands business
Free parking, great coffee and a pet‑friendly office
Proudly Kiwi‑owned, values‑led and purpose‑driven
