A highly respected and well-established agricultural retailer is currently seeking a dedicated and results-driven Location Manager to oversee and lead one of its key retail operations. This organization has built a strong reputation within the industry for its commitment to customer success, operational excellence, and long-term growth, and is looking for a leader who can uphold and advance these standards.

While candidates with direct experience in location or branch management are strongly preferred, the company is equally interested in individuals with a proven background in agronomy sales, recognizing that this role carries a significant sales and customer development component. Additionally, experienced applicators who are ready to transition into a leadership role are encouraged to apply, provided they demonstrate the initiative, professionalism, and leadership potential necessary to succeed in a management capacity.

This position presents an exceptional opportunity for a motivated professional to make a meaningful and measurable impact. The location has historically underperformed; however, it is widely regarded as having substantial untapped potential within a strong and supportive organizational framework. With the right leadership, strategic direction, and customer engagement, this site is well-positioned to become one of the company’s top-performing and most profitable locations. The ideal candidate will combine strong operational oversight with a proactive, customer-focused approach, and will ideally have a connection to—or familiarity with—the local market and agricultural community.

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide day-to-day leadership and operational oversight of the retail location
• Drive sales growth through customer relationship development and agronomic expertise
• Manage and develop staff, fostering a positive, performance-oriented team culture
• Ensure efficient facility operations, inventory management, and service delivery
• Collaborate with senior leadership to execute strategic goals and improve location performance

Key Qualifications:

• Minimum of five (5) years of relevant experience within the agriculture industry
• Demonstrated commitment to customer service and long-term relationship building
• Prior experience in agricultural retail strongly preferred
• Proven leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills
• Ability to manage both operational responsibilities and sales initiatives effectively

Compensation & Benefits:
This position offers a competitive base salary ranging from $80,000 to $100,000 annually, commensurate with experience and qualifications, along with a comprehensive benefits package designed to support both professional and personal well-being.
