Nutrition Specialists - Ruminant Focus

Join Farmlands as we shape the future of animal nutrition

Work alongside passionate people who care about our farmers

Opportunities for both experienced professionals and new grads

Mo 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.

Whether you're a seasoned expert or a recent graduate ready to make your mark, this is your chance to join a team that's all about helping farmers get the best from their livestock - be it milk, meat, or anything in between.

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.

Start date will be February

Mohou 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.

We're particularly keen to hear from people based in the

Waikato

or

Southland

, but we're open to talent from across Aotearoa.
