Job Title: KW Sales Specialist

Location: Hybrid, South West UK

Contract type and shift: Permanent, Monday – Friday – 37.5 hours per week

Package includes: Salary from £50,000 (depending on experience) plus a benefits package designed to support your wellbeing and reward your impact, including performance related bonus, car allowance, private healthcare, and a matched pension contribution of up to 10%

At KW, customer experience sits at the heart of everything we do. As part of the wider Asterra Group, we’re proud to be one of the most progressive and forward-thinking feed businesses in the UK, combining national reach with genuine on-farm relationships.

We are on the lookout for a KW On-Farm Sales Specialist to join our supportive and motivated sales team. This is a field-based role, working directly with dairy and beef farmers to deliver practical, credible solutions that help their businesses perform and thrive.

What makes this role different is that we're versatile in our approach to background. If you bring previous experience in agricultural sales or on-farm operations, that’s great. If you do not have prior experience in agricultural sales or on-farm operations but can demonstrate a solid work ethic, curiosity about business practices in agriculture, and the tenacity required for a field-based sales role, we encourage your application.

The Role

Partnering with peers at KW and the extended Asterra business, you will take charge of a regional sales ledger, cultivating long-lasting, dependable relationships with farmers as you fulfill specified commercial targets.

You will design and implement a comprehensive sales strategy tailored to the region, demonstrating the Asterra model in agricultural settings. Supported by technical, nutrition, customer service and marketing teams, you’ll offer tailored solutions rather than “off-the-shelf” products – always putting the customer first.

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.
