- Balance powerful stakeholders, from government and industry partners to primary producers and breed societies.
- Champion innovation, ensuring ABRI's products and platforms stay at the cutting edge of genetics, data and agricultural technology.
- Represent ABRI globally, building high-trust relationships across industry, government and research nationally and internationally.
You are a seasoned executive who combines commercial acumen with the ability to engage credibly with both primary production stakeholders and global investors. Your track record includes:
- Driving transformation and growth in complex organisations.
- Converting research or data-driven assets into profitable services.
- Building investor confidence through capital raising or strategic partnerships.
- Managing diverse and sometimes competing stakeholder priorities with integrity and skill.
- Appreciation of genetic technologies in agriculture, and the ability to engage effectively with primary production stakeholders as a distinct and vital group.
- Shape the next era of livestock genetics and agritech innovation.
- Lead a globally respected institution through commercial transformation.
- Work with a passionate team committed to impact and sustainability. ABRI's people bring deep expertise and a sense of mission, approaching their work as a vocation that drives measurable impact for producers worldwide.
- Enjoy the benefits of Armidale, NSW, home to world-class research, excellent schools and an enviable lifestyle.
This is an exceptional opportunity for a bold and strategic leader.
