Mō te whai waahi | About the opportunity
At Farmlands, we’re growing our Nutrition Sales Team and looking for people who live and breathe ruminant nutrition.
With the option to be based in the North Canterbury or West Coast region, you’ll be working hands-on with our farming customers, supporting them to optimise production through tailored nutrition solutions. You’ll also build strong relationships with our merchant teams, providing training and support to help them deliver even more value on-farm.
This role is more than sales - it’s about trust, technical know-how and being part of an organisation that backs its people and its farmers.
Mōhou ake | About you
You’re passionate about ruminant nutrition - no exceptions. You might have a background in compound feed, blends, or commodities, or you’ve spent time on-farm and understand the practical side of livestock systems. Sales experience is a bonus, but what really matters is your ability to build strong, lasting relationships.
You’ll thrive in a role where every day is different- whether you’re out on-farm, collaborating with our merchant teams, or contributing to regional growth strategies. You’ll also be someone who’s keen to keep learning and growing, with support from our technical nutritionists and national sales team.
