[Hiring] Farm Business Consultant @Genus

Role Description

Do you want to help farmers build more profitable, resilient and sustainable businesses? At Promar, we work alongside farming businesses to provide trusted, data-led advice that drives better decision-making and long-term success. Combining technical expertise, financial insight and industry-leading benchmarking, our consultants help farmers identify opportunities, overcome challenges and improve performance across every aspect of their business.

We are looking for multiple field-based Farm Business Consultants to join our growing Promar team, working directly with farming businesses to help them improve performance and make confident, informed decisions. This is a varied and rewarding role where no two days are the same. You will work closely with farmers, building long-term relationships and providing tailored advice across areas such as:

• Farm business performance
• Technical improvement
• Financial management
• Nutrition
• Forage and soil management
• Fertility
• Infrastructure
• Compliance
• Sustainability
• Diversification

The role would suit someone with a strong understanding of agriculture who enjoys working with people, solving problems and turning insight into practical action. You may already have experience advising farming clients, or you may be looking to develop your consultancy career within a supportive and knowledgeable team.

Joining Promar means joining a business with a long-standing reputation for insight, reliability and practical support. Our consultants work side by side with farmers, helping them navigate challenges, unlock opportunities and prepare for the future. This is an opportunity to develop your career in agricultural consultancy while making a direct impact on the performance, profitability and resilience of farming businesses.

You will have the autonomy to manage client relationships, the backing of an established brand, and the opportunity to work with a wide range of farms and agricultural businesses. We are open to location for these roles and level of experience; however, if you have prior consulting experience, this is a plus.

• A genuine interest in farm business performance, technical improvement and long-term sustainability
• Good organisational skills and the ability to manage your own workload in a field-based role

• A proactive approach to developing client relationships and identifying new opportunities
• Good digital skills, including confidence using Microsoft Office and other business systems
• A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel to farms, client meetings and industry events
• Experience in agriculture, farm consultancy (big plus), technical sales, nutrition, farm business management or another client-facing agricultural role would be valuable
• An agricultural, agriscience or business-related qualification would also be beneficial, but we are open to different backgrounds where you can demonstrate relevant knowledge, credibility and a strong interest in supporting farming clients

Requirements

• Passionate about agriculture and motivated by helping farming businesses succeed

• A flexible home-based role working day to day on farm with clients
