Technical Sales Representative, Feed Additives & Premix

Who we’re looking for

You’re a customer-first, commercially driven quota-carrying technical seller who enjoys winning new business and growing strategic accounts. You have a track record of building pipeline and consistently delivering against sales targets by managing a clear sales process from prospecting through close. You can translate animal nutrition and additive application knowledge into simple, compelling value messages that move decisions. You’re confident leading customer meetings with producers, veterinarians, nutritionists, and feed partners—qualifying opportunities, aligning to decision criteria, handling objections, negotiating, and securing next steps to close. You operate with strong sales discipline: territory planning, pipeline hygiene, accurate forecasting in CRM, and consistent follow-up. You collaborate well across sales, species, marketing, manufacturing, quality, and innovation teams to deliver trials, implementation, and training that convert into repeat purchases and measurable commercial results.

You’ll also need

Strong technical foundation in animal nutrition and specialty feed additives, including practical application across feed and water.

Proven ability to grow accounts and develop new opportunities with veterinarians, nutritionists, producers, and feed partners—linking technical insights to economic value and purchase decisions.

Hands-on capability to lead trials, troubleshoot on-farm/feed-mill issues, and deliver training/presentations that convert opportunities into repeatable results and repeat purchases.

Strong relationship-building and stakeholder management skills to align decision makers, support negotiations, and drive adoption without direct authority.

Sales operating rigor: territory planning, prospecting cadence, pipeline management, and accurate forecasting—using CRM and digital/analytics tools to prioritize work and deliver against targets.

Comfortable owning key sales KPIs (quota attainment, pipeline coverage, win rate) and improving forecast accuracy through disciplined deal management.

Ability to travel regularly (25-50%) within the territory and spend significant time in the field with customers (on-farm/feed-mill visits, trials, and trainings).

Science degree – Animal Science, Life Sciences, or a related field.
