Do you enjoy being out on farm, talking crops, spotting opportunities… and then actually turning that into business?
I'm working with a market-leading seed specialist, known for innovation, strong R&D and some seriously impressive facilities, who are now looking to hire a Seed Sales Manager to drive growth across the South of England and into Western Europe.
This is a role for someone who likes being in the field, building relationships, and shaping how products land in the market - not just sitting behind a desk updating spreadsheets.
The Role
This is a 70%+ field-based role, working closely with growers, customers and key industry stakeholders.
You'll be the face of the business in your region - helping customers to get the best from their crops, while driving sales growth and bringing new varieties to market.
What You'll Be Doing
Out in the field:
- Visiting growers regularly, building strong, long-term relationships
- Supporting customers with trials, crop performance and product selection
- Acting as a trusted advisor - not just a salesperson
Driving the commercial side:
- Managing and growing key accounts across your territory
- Owning your sales targets, forecasts and pipeline
- Identifying new business opportunities and developing them strategically
- Analysing market trends and competitor activity
Bringing new products to life:
- Leading new product introductions (NPIs) in your region
- Working closely with R&D and marketing to launch varieties effectively
- Translating technical data into compelling, real-world benefits for growers
What Makes This Role Interesting
- You'll work with a business that's heavily invested in R&D, with advanced glasshouses and lab facilities
- You'll have real influence over how products are positioned and adopted in the market
- You'll get exposure across UK and European markets
- You'll be trusted to manage your own territory and make decisions
Who This Suits
You'll likely be someone who:
- Has 3-7 years' experience in technical sales within seeds, horticulture or fresh produce
- Understands crops, trials and how varieties perform in real-world conditions
- Is commercially sharp - comfortable with targets, forecasting and account management
- Enjoys being customer-facing and building relationships over time
- Is proactive, self-motivated and comfortable working independently
Bonus if you:
- Speak another European language (French, German or Dutch)
- Have strong experience with trial management and product launches
The Details
- Home-based role covering South UK + Western Europe
- Regular travel required - this is a field-first role
What's On Offer
- Competitive salary (depending on experience)
- A dynamic, growing business with strong market presence
- Real autonomy and ownership of your region
- The chance to work with innovative products and shape their success
If you're someone who enjoys combining technical knowledge, commercial thinking and time in the field, this is a fantastic opportunity to step into a role with real impact.
