Join us as an Agriculture Insights Manager (Senior Analyst - Red Meat)
Help deliver trusted market intelligence and analytical insight to support the UK red meat industry. This role works on a hybrid basis, two/three days from our HQ in Coventry and the remainder working remotely from home.
Reporting to the Lead Analyst, you will lead the delivery of analytical insight and market intelligence for the livestock sector, ensuring AHDB provides timely, evidence-based information that supports levy payer decision-making. Working closely with colleagues, industry stakeholders, and external partners, you will identify emerging trends, risks, and opportunities, translating complex data into clear and practical insights for the industry.
You will be an experienced analyst with strong economic, market, or sector analysis expertise, who can combine technical knowledge with excellent communication skills while comfortably managing projects, engaging stakeholders, and supporting the development of analytical excellence across the team.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is passionate about supporting the future of British agriculture and can deliver high-quality insight that helps businesses make informed decisions.
About AHDB
We are the independent, impartial public body that unlocks success in British agriculture. Funded by a levy from over 100,000 British producers in the beef, lamb, pork, dairy, and cereals sectors, we support and champion farmers, growers, and processors, often where no one else can or will.
We share the expert, evidence-based research and reports that inform on-farm decision-making. We promote British produce to the UK public through domestic marketing campaigns, and we identify and open new global export opportunities to help farm businesses grow.
