Council of the City of Sydney, Australia u&u Pty Ltd Full time

The National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) is the peak national body representing Australian farmers and agriculture. For more than four decades, the NFF has been at the forefront of national policy, advocacy, and reform – championing initiatives that drive the growth and sustainability of Australian agriculture. With a bold ambition for the sector to become Australia’s next $100 billion industry, the NFF plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of farming and influencing national conversations that intersect with environmental, economic, and social policy.

About the Role

Reporting to the President and the Board, the Chief Executive Officer will lead a geographically dispersed team and serve as a unifying force across one of Australia’s most critical industries. This is a career-defining opportunity to influence national decision-making, drive transformative policy outcomes, and represent Australian agriculture on the domestic and global stage. The CEO will lead strategic advocacy with government and industry, foster collaboration across member bodies and stakeholders, and ensure the NFF continues to be the respected and influential voice advancing the interests of farmers and rural communities nationwide. Success in this role will demand a leader who can balance strategic vision with pragmatic execution, while building enduring relationships that turn insight into impact.

About You

You are an accomplished and authentic leader with a deep understanding of agriculture’s role in Australia’s economic, environmental, and social fabric. Your experience leading complex organisations through change is complemented by your ability to engage and influence at the highest levels of government, business, and industry. With strong commercial acumen, outstanding communication skills, and an instinct for diplomacy, you are motivated by purpose – driven to champion innovation, sustainability, and the long‑term prosperity of Australian agriculture.

Ideally you will be based in Canberra. However there may be some flexibility.

Applications will close COB on Monday the 10th of November.
