The opportunity
Are you passionate about the northern beef industry and motivated by helping cattle producers become more productive and profitable? Zoetis is looking for an Area Manager to support beef producers across the Central Highlands and Central Western Queensland. Ideally based in Emerald, you will build trusted relationships across a large regional territory and spend time where it matters most: with your distribution partners, on property and alongside producers.
This role will suit someone with a genuine interest in beef cattle operations, strong product knowledge and a sound understanding of the livestock industry. You will need to love travelling through western Queensland and be comfortable spending some time away from home.
What you’ll do
•        Build lasting, value-adding relationships with beef producers, veterinary clinics and resellers across the territory.
•        Get on property and work alongside producers to understand their operations, priorities and opportunities to improve productivity.
•        Work crush-side with producers, sharing practical guidance on the correct administration and use of products.
•        Apply your product knowledge and industry understanding to deliver relevant, trusted animal health and production advice, supported by Zoetis technical experts.
•        Grow key brands and develop new business in line with commercial plans, while maintaining and strengthening existing customer relationships.
•        Plan and deliver producer-facing workshops, field days and other engagement that provides useful education and information to industry stakeholders.
•        Travel regularly throughout Central Highlands and Central Western Queensland.
What you’ll bring
•        A strong interest in beef cattle operations and a genuine passion for the northern beef industry.
•        A real desire to help cattle producers improve productivity and profitability.
•        Good animal health product knowledge and a strong understanding of the livestock industry; the ability to build technical knowledge with support from our technical team.
•        A practical, producer-focused approach and confidence engaging on property and crush-side.
•        Excellent relationship-building, communication and organisational skills, with a proactive and customer-focused mindset.
•        Ideally, residence in Emerald or willingness to be based there. Experience in livestock, animal health, rural sales or account management is valued; relevant rural science, agribusiness or related qualifications are an advantage.
What you’ll get
•        Above-industry salary, fully equipped company vehicle and an attractive bonus structure.
•        Company technology, including laptop, iPad and iPhone, plus a work-from-home set-up.
•        The opportunity to work for a Fortune 500 company and the world’s largest animal health company.
•        Collaborative colleagues and exposure to teams across livestock, veterinary, retail, marketing, diagnostics, genetics and more.
•        Business travel to conferences, industry events and trade shows, with opportunities for ongoing development and career progression.
