Agri-Tech Business Manager – Aquaculture
Department: Customer Success
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: Any hub
Compensation: £45,000 - £60,000 / year
Description
Account manage a portfolio of agri-tech businesses aligned to the aquaculture sector. This is a sector-aligned account management role, not a generalist business support role. The role will build trusted relationships with businesses in this area, understand their growth journey, adoption barriers, and support needs. Through the broader range of account management functions within the business, the role will connect them to relevant investors, value-chain partners, test beds, trials, technical expertise, innovation programmes, and market opportunities. Alongside direct account management, the role will act as UKATC’s aquaculture sector lead, helping the wider business build a clear, current view of aquaculture sector needs, sector priorities, emerging opportunities, relevant companies, partner relationships, and where UKATC can add most value.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage a portfolio of agri-tech businesses operating in or serving the aquaculture sector.
- Build trusted relationships through regular, purposeful engagement that helps UKATC understand each company’s stage, proposition, growth priorities, barriers, and support needs.
- Identify and make appropriate connections into investors, value-chain partners, test beds, trials, technical expertise, innovation programmes, and commercial opportunities relevant to aquaculture businesses.
- Act as UKATC’s internal aquaculture sector lead, maintaining a clear view of sector needs, market signals, innovation priorities, key companies, relevant partners, and opportunities for UKATC engagement.
- Help UKATC maintain a current view of aquaculture sector needs, priority opportunities, relevant companies, and partner relationships, and act as an internal point of expertise for that sector.
- Capture and share insight on adoption barriers, evidence requirements, funding needs, commercial traction, and emerging sector trends to inform UKATC’s wider business growth, engagement, and strategic activity.
- Support colleagues across UKATC with aquaculture sector knowledge, helping teams understand the landscape, identify relevant businesses and partners, and engage confidently with sector opportunities.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
