Job description

Fed up of being another number in a large corporate business? Want to actually make a difference to agriculture?

This won't be another Farm Trader role, this is an opportunity to genuinely help the farming sector, whilst furthering your career.

Our client is a long-established, highly respected agricultural business with an excellent reputation across the UK. Operating within the seed, grain and agricultural inputs sector, with a focus on organics, they are continuing to invest in Scotland and are looking to appoint an experienced Farm Trader to lead their commercial growth across the region.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an established Farm Trader or Grain Buyer who enjoys developing relationships, identifying new business opportunities and taking ownership of a territory.

With an existing customer base already established, you'll be responsible for strengthening those relationships while driving further growth across Scotland.

Supported by an experienced team elsewhere in the UK, you'll become the key point of contact for the region, with significant autonomy to develop the business and take it to the next level.

As the Scottish operation continues to expand, there is genuine scope for the successful individual to play a key role in shaping its long-term future.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and grow the company's commercial presence throughout Scotland.
  • Purchase grain and specialist crops while increasing the forward contracting portfolio.
  • Build, strengthen and maintain long-term relationships with farmers and growers.
  • Identify and secure new trading opportunities through proactive business development.
  • Negotiate grain contracts and pricing in line with market conditions and business objectives.
  • Promote complementary agricultural products alongside grain purchasing activities.
  • Conduct regular farm and customer visits, becoming a trusted partner to growers across the region.
  • Provide market intelligence and commercial insight to support wider business strategy.
  • Maintain accurate records of customer activity, contracts and trading performance.

About You

We're looking for an experienced agricultural commercial professional who enjoys working independently while building long-term relationships with farming businesses.

You'll ideally have:

  • Previous experience as a Farm Trader, Grain Buyer or in a similar agricultural trading role.
  • Strong knowledge of the UK grain and arable sectors.
  • An established network within Scottish agriculture would be advantageous.
  • Excellent communication, negotiation and relationship-building skills.
  • A commercially driven mindset with the ability to identify and develop new business opportunities.
  • The confidence to manage your own region while working collaboratively with colleagues across the wider business.
  • A full UK driving licence.

What's on Offer

  • Competitive salary with an attractive bonus structure.
  • Company vehicle or car allowance.
  • Private healthcare.
  • Generous holiday entitlement.
  • Flexible, home-based working.
  • The opportunity to take ownership of an important and growing region within a well-established agricultural business.
  • Long-term career development with the chance to influence the future direction of the Scottish operation.
