Vacant job

Växa helps agricultural companies develop their operations through consulting in feed, animal welfare, production economics, and management. We are now looking for a production advisor based on Öland. This is a unique opportunity to work with engaged colleagues in one of Sweden's most exciting companies. Together we make a difference for our customers and members, and it shows!

About the position

As a production advisor, you will actively work on the development of agricultural companies with dairy and meat production. Växa's mission is to provide consulting services in feed, production economics, animal welfare, and management. You will also be part of our Sustainability team.

Your tasks primarily include consulting with our customers, especially dairy companies. You will be active in development and support for customers in feeding, feed planning, production economics, logistics, forage, milk quality, technology, and animal welfare. As part of our sustainability team, you will work on and shape the future of sustainable agriculture. This consulting will mainly take place through the agreement we have with Arla, where we have a mission to propose measures to reduce the farm's climate footprint.

Other tasks may include holding courses for farmers, being responsible for and participating in various development projects, and working within Greppa Näringen and other contracted assignments from, for example, the County Administrative Board.

Together with Växa Sweden's other staff, such as animal technicians, breeding advisors, animal health veterinarians, business advisors, construction and crop advisors, we form teams around our customers to develop their businesses.

• Practical experience from agriculture.
• Worked as a consultant and/or salesperson in the industry.

We place great importance on your personal drive and are looking for individuals with strong commitment and the ability to meet people.

The work is very independent, where you actively plan your customer visits. As a person, you are open and responsive with a clear business and customer focus. You easily build good relationships and enjoy collaborating in teams.
