Description
Job Title: Straights Trader
Location: Remote
Contract: Permanent
Hours: Full-time 37.5 hours per week
Reporting to: Trading Director
Summary
We are looking for someone to join our established trading team to grow and manage the Monogastric and Organic sector.
You will work with the PPL sales teams, customers, prospects and merchants to ensure a pro-active approach to straights and misc sales, and where possible the co-products range as well. Working with campaigns and targeted sales initiatives.
You will work cross functionally with planning, logistics to maximise the efficiency of the Trading operation. You will utilise, maintain and update the CRM system. Following up leads and making proactive outbound calls. Negotiating and closing profitable business. Attending team meetings and shows etc. when needed.
Purpose of the Job
Do you ever stop to wonder where your Sunday morning poached egg came from? Or the milk in your cafè latte? Or what about the sausage and bacon served with full English? It will come as no surprise to you that the animals which produce these products need to eat themselves too. And that’s where ForFarmers comes into the equation.
ForFarmers produces feed for cattle, pigs and poultry in both conventional and organic livestock farming. And that probably sounds a great deal simpler than it actually is. Make no mistake: an awful lot of knowledge, research and innovation has gone into one of those seemingly simple-looking chunks of animal feed. And these are the kind of things we, as a company, invest a great deal in.
What are the benefits of working for ForFarmers UK?
We value diversity in our workplace and welcome enquiries from everyone. To apply for this position please see our website Vacancies | Working at ForFarmers.
