About The Position

The Marketing Operations Specialist will support the development and delivery of a global, centralised marketing function that enables effective execution of regional sales strategies. The near‑term focus will be on North America, with the flexibility to support other regions as required.

It is a global position supporting multiple regions and requires the ability to work across diverse crops, channels, and agronomic environments. While the role will have a primary area of focus, it will also need to flex and adapt in line with business needs.
