Job Description

Our Client:
A leading Saudi-based agri-processing business with a strong footprint across milling and animal feed, operating at scale and playing a key role in the Kingdom’s food security ecosystem. The business is now looking to strengthen its feed vertical as a core growth engine, with a sharper focus on commercial excellence, product differentiation, and customer-led value creation.

Your Role:
You will lead the animal feed business as a fully accountable vertical, owning strategy, performance, and growth. This is a techno-commercial leadership role where success comes from balancing nutrition credibility, customer outcomes, and commercial discipline.

You will shape how the business competes in the market — from segment focus and product positioning to pricing and channel strategy — while ensuring alignment with operations, quality, and regulatory frameworks. This role is about building a stronger, more differentiated feed business, not just maintaining volumes.

Responsibilities:

  • Own and deliver the overall performance of the feed business, including revenue growth, margin quality, and market positioning
  • Define and execute the medium-term strategy across key customer segments such as poultry, ruminant, and livestock producers
  • Develop differentiated offerings based on feed performance, productivity, and customer economics
  • Lead commercial levers including pricing, product mix, and demand planning in alignment with supply chain and manufacturing
  • Build and manage relationships with key customers, distributors, and large farm operators
  • Ensure alignment with quality and regulatory standards, including compliance with local feed and safety requirements
  • Identify opportunities for innovation in formulations, services, and value-added solutions
  • Build and lead a technical-commercial team across sales, key accounts, and field support
  • Track market dynamics including raw material trends, competitor activity, and evolving customer needs

Must Have:

  • 12–18+ years of experience in animal feed, animal nutrition, agribusiness, or related sectors
  • Proven ownership of a business unit, category, or regional P&L
  • Strong technical grounding in feed, livestock performance, or nutrition-led products
  • Experience working with farms, distributors, and large commercial customers
  • Exposure to Saudi Arabia or GCC markets is strongly preferred
  • Ability to operate at the intersection of technical expertise and commercial leadership

Next Steps: Upload your resume via our ATS platform and ensure all form details are complete. Shortlisted candidates will be contacted within 5–7 working days for a more detailed discussion about the role. Due to high application volumes, only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
