Overview
This is a leadership role focused on driving commercial performance through clarity, coaching, and a metrics-driven approach. You will shape a national sales strategy across two jurisdictions, manage and develop a high-performing team, and translate data into action. Agricultural experience is advantageous but not essential. If you understand how to motivate, measure, and multiply the impact of a sales force, we want to hear from you.
Why this role matters:
* Numbers that move the needle: manage a multi‑million euro and sterling business across Ireland; your decisions impact the numbers week after week.
* People at the centre: sharpen the edge of a growing sales force while maintaining a farmer‑focused culture.
* National canvas: steer strategy from Cork to Belfast, segment by segment, unlocking revenue in existing and new markets.
What you’ll do
* Build data‑led strategy: Turn market intelligence, CRM analytics, and sales data into a clear sales playbook.
* Own the scoreboard: Set KPIs, track them in real time, and course‑correct quickly.
* Coach for elite performance: Run a structured development programme, ride‑alongs, analytics reviews, and skills boot camps for every team member.
* Grow the team: Identify and hire high‑potential talent who can sell.
* Deepen partnerships: Use insight‑driven account plans to strengthen loyalty and upsell our genetics and tech portfolio.
* Collaborate cross‑functionally: Work with Marketing, Science and Operations to align offers and maximise margin.
Must‑have
* Proven track record smashing national sales targets (numbers required).
* 3+ years leading field and inside sales teams, ideally 10+ heads.
* Talent‑magnet: hire, onboard, retain, inspire.
* Persuasive communicator—from boardroom to barnyard.
* Exposure to agriculture, animal health, or life‑sciences sectors.
* Professional coaching or mentoring qualification.
* A degree helps—but results speak louder than certificates. If you’ve built elite teams and crushed quotas, talk to us.
