Crop Sales Representative at Lantmännen in Karlstad

Do you have a strong commitment to Swedish agriculture and want to work in a role where you can combine consulting, business acumen, and long-term customer relationships? We are now looking for a relationship-building and solution-oriented Crop Sales Representative based in Karlstad.

Agriculture is the heart of Lantmännen's unique value chain from field to fork, a business that is the foundation of our broad group. In this role, you will have the opportunity to make a real difference in the development of agriculture while growing together with a knowledgeable and supportive team.

This is what you will do

As a Crop Sales Representative, you will be responsible for the sale of inputs and the purchase of grain from farmers in the region. You will have an advisory and business-oriented role where you meet the customer's needs with a holistic view and knowledge. You will often be out with customers, analyzing growing conditions, market conditions, and the customer's specific production goals to create tailored solutions.

You will be a sounding board for both short-term and long-term cultivation decisions and follow up on business over seasons. Through your work, you contribute to creating both sustainability and profitability for the customer and for Lantmännen.

The role involves a high degree of independence in planning your daily work, but you are also part of a team where we collaborate closely, follow up on goals together, and support each other in the development of marketing work and customer relationships.

The position is based at our sales office in Karlstad. You will report to the Regional Manager West.

What you need to succeed and thrive

You have:

• Post-secondary education in agriculture, e.g., as an agronomist, agricultural economist, or agrotechnician, or equivalent experience in crop production or consulting.
• Good understanding of the conditions and challenges of agriculture.
• Preferably experience in sales, consulting, or another business-driven role within the green sectors.
• Good ability to communicate both verbally and in writing in Swedish, preferably also in English.
• A valid driver's license and access to your own car.

You are:

• Relationship-building and confident in establishing long-term trust with various types of customers.
• Attentive, solution-oriented, and structured in your consulting.
• Engaged in the customer's business and have a holistic view of crop production and profitability.
• Accustomed to working independently and making your own decisions, but also see the value in sharing knowledge and collaborating in a team.
• Driven to create value, take responsibility, and influence.

Of course, you share our values; Openness, Holistic View, and Action Orientation, as well as our promise to take responsibility from field to fork.
