If you are looking for a challenging role that can make a significant difference to Scottish farmers, then this unique opportunity could be for you.

For only the second time in almost 40 years, the Board of Directors of East of Scotland Farmers Ltd is looking for a new General Manager.

East of Scotland Farmers Ltd was established in 1959 and has grown to represent a membership of more than 300 farmers. The co-operative’s primary function is to provide drying, storage, market security and competitive prices for malting barley and other grains from its members; whilst also providing a comprehensive range of inputs and services to arable farmers, livestock farmers, small-holders and non-farming customers.

Leading a team of 24, and operating within a wide network of industry relationships, the General Manager is the principal ambassador of East of Scotland Farmers.

As the next General Manager, you would provide leadership and operational expertise to ensure that EOSF continues to meet its strategic goals of growth and performance. The business is not prepared to stand still and is always looking ahead to maximise the benefits achievable for its membership.

Alongside the business leadership role, the General Manager is also responsible for marketing the members’ grain and so knowledge of farming and the grain industry is key. Another important component of this busy and dynamic role is the ability to build relationships with the directors and members of the co-op, colleagues, customers, suppliers and a range of other stakeholders to ensure that EOSF is performing to its fullest capability.

Candidates should be able to demonstrate their ability across the range of competencies noted above and have had recent experience of working at a senior level in a relevant industry sector and role.

East of Scotland Farmers Ltd is committed to equality of opportunity and welcomes applications from all backgrounds and sections of the community.
