The Company
Potatoes New Zealand, the membership body for NZ’s billion-dollar potato industry, has ambitious, strategic growth plans for profitability and production to 2025 and beyond. To achieve this the organisation has created a new role which will combine technical expertise and relationship building across science, growers and other key stakeholders, with a focus on R&D, Quality and Biosecurity.
 
The Role
Success in this position will require the ability to communicate effectively with key players in the potato industry including R&D providers, MPI advisors, horticulture experts and processors, and to build links between these stakeholders to promote knowledge sharing around research best practice, quality assurance, biosecurity readiness and response. You will work with growers to translate research data into useable farming practices with productivity, quality and health top of mind.
 
The Candidate
Whilst it’s not necessary that you have a background in potatoes or even horticulture, this will definitely help. The soft skills are key here –communication, service orientation, leadership and learning. What is essential is that you feel a strong affinity with the available position description and are fired with enthusiasm by PNZ’s 2018 Strategy and Business Plan. As a key member of a small team you choose where you work from, but will demonstrate self-management and discipline.
