About Black Bull Biochar
Black Bull Biochar (BBB) is a growing UK company scaling the use of biochar, a carbon-rich material that improves soil health, livestock and crop resilience, all whilst removing carbon from the atmosphere. The company is entering an exciting expansion phase, growing its presence across Edinburgh, London, and Manchester, and building a team that will define the future of regenerative agriculture and carbon removal.
About the role
This is a pivotal role at the intersection of regenerative agriculture and commercial strategy. As Agriculture Manager, you’ll be the technical and relationship lead for BBB’s farmer-facing covering central and southern England.
You will:
- Work as part of our Business Development and Agricultural team on customer-facing opportunities, sustainability projects, and agricultural research collaborations.
- Advise farmers and landowners on regenerative practices, with biochar as a core component of wider farm transition plans.
- Help BBB in shaping trials, feeding insights into product development, and influencing how regenerative agriculture scales in the UK.
- Represent BBB as an agriculture expert at industry shows and events, driving interest and educating the market on new biochar products.
This role is ideal for those passionate about regenerative agriculture and improving agricultural sustainability. You’ll not only advise on biochar but also provide broader regenerative practice support, helping farmers to improve their crop nutrition and soil management.
