Beef + Lamb New Zealand is amplifying the way they do extension. Their absolute focus is on farmers and championing farmer excellence. They are transitioning to help farmers take supported learning journeys that will execute real on-farm change and build stronger collaboration across all stakeholders in the agribusiness sector to increase farmer levy value.
As the Extension Team Manager for the South Island, you will lead from the front, inspiring your team to collaborate, plan, and deliver great learning that farmers can use in their businesses.

Your day-to-day work will involve leadership and management: ensuring your team is motivated and executing their work plans, that regional farmer councils are being heard, and that the quality of relationships within the region maximizes the value of farmer levy payer and other stakeholder spending. You'll be experienced in managing multiple projects and understanding farmers.
Your KPIs will include return on investment for every levy dollar spent, farmer engagement, and feedback from events and farm practice change. This is a leadership role that requires a full spectrum of leadership behaviors, from deep care for people to a strong performance and results focus. With regular travel through the South Island and as one of only two Extension Team Managers, this is a career-building job with scope to increase your networks, reputation, and ability to deliver change.
