Description

We’re looking for an experienced and commercially driven Sales Manager to lead our Southern feed sales team and play a key role in shaping the future of our Mole Valley Feed Solutions business.

This is a key leadership role where you’ll drive growth, build strong relationships with our farmer shareholders and customers, and lead a team that delivers trusted advice, knowledge, and innovative feed solutions. You’ll work closely with the Head of Agri Feed Sales to develop and execute a clear, forward-thinking sales strategy that supports UK agriculture and strengthens our market position.

You’ll be empowered to lead from the front, bring fresh ideas, and influence both performance and direction within a business that is deeply rooted in supporting farmers.

You'll be joining Mole Valley Farmers at an exciting time in its development. As part of a business with an industry-leading, comprehensive farm solutions offering, you'll be supported by substantial manufacturing and logistics infrastructure and industry-leading technical expertise across all farm inputs. Backed by a significant investment strategy, we are growing our capabilities to better serve our customers, drive sustainable business growth, and create new opportunities for our people. With customers at the heart of everything we do, there has never been a better time to develop your career with Mole Valley Farmers.

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.
