Knowledge Transfer Manager
We are looking for a Knowledge Transfer Manager to join our Beef & Lamb Engagement team, supporting the delivery of technical knowledge and insight to levy payers across the sector. This is a national role requiring some flexibility to travel across the UK as required.
You will play a leading role in translating research and best practice into practical, accessible tools and resources that support informed decision making and drive on-farm improvement. Working closely with internal teams and external stakeholders, you will produce high-quality knowledge transfer content aligned to the sector business plan.
This varied, collaborative role is ideal for someone with strong beef and lamb knowledge, excellent organisational and communication skills and a passion for driving impact through knowledge transfer.
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.
We help levy payers learn more, sell more and export more to remain sustainable and profitable. Together, we deliver the insights, the influence and the impact that farmers need.
