GENERAL MANAGER – DAIRY & GRAZING
Craigmore Sustainables
The Craigmore brand is synonymous with quality farming with a focus on
team, environment and finance to ensure the ongoing prosperity of individuals,
communities and NZ Inc.
With a goal to build a modern food production business that all of NZ can be proud
of, Craigmore is a modern, flexible business that has been delivering for years what
others are now recognising as the way forward for our primary sector businesses:
strong links between consumer and farm, quality production practices and an
intense desire to see everyone involved in their business thrive.
Critical to their success so far has been the quality of the people attracted to work
in their business; smart, focused, forward thinking and committed to the principles
of farming for quality food.
The Role
The GM – Dairy position takes responsibility for the livestock businesses in the
Craigmore portfolio: 20 dairy farms from north Canterbury to north Otago and
a drystock property north of Dunedin. The role reports to the Board and works
closely with the teams managing the Craigmore horticulture business.
Whilst you will ‘own’ the strategy for the dairy business, as part of the leadership
team you will be contributing widely, your financial, leadership and broader business
acumen will be sought after, and you will have the opportunity have impact across
the business.
The Person
It goes without saying that you will need to have a cows and grass background for
credibility and have business and leadership successes on your CV.
You’ll be committed to a sustainable approach to business and will be able to
articulate what this means in a dairy business. You will have examples of where
you have made strategic and operational decisions that have put the principles of
sustainability first.
At Craigmore, as well as environmental and financial focuses, sustainability means
working with people and living the organisation’s commitment to developing the
farming leaders of tomorrow. You can only do this if you know what great people
leadership is about and have proven in the past how you can manage and grow
on-farm leaders.
