Job Description

Key responsibilities:
Develop and use your industry insight to deliver tailored search and headhunting services-from graduate to board-level roles.
Build and manage long-term relationships with agribusiness clients and candidates.

Strong people skills and a willingness to build longstanding working relationships.
