## Job description

**About FinAgra**

FinAgra is building a new model for commercial agriculture in emerging markets.

We combine financing, agronomy, technology, and farm operations to turn underperforming farmland into professionally managed, productive farming businesses.

We are looking for a **Head of Agronomy Operations** to build and run the agronomic operating system across FinAgra’s farms and geographies.

**The Role**

This is a senior agronomy role with a strong operational focus. We are looking for someone who has managed agricultural production across multiple sites or geographies and knows how to make dispersed farming operations perform consistently.

A strong candidate may have managed production farms or seed-production sites for a global seed company, agribusiness or large farming organisation — ensuring that different locations follow the same standards, execute production plans correctly and consistently achieve expected results.

You will sit at the intersection of **agronomy and operations**, translating FinAgra’s agronomic standards into repeatable and scalable farm execution.

**What You’ll Do**

* Own the operational implementation of FinAgra’s agronomic standards across farms and countries.
* Build systems that ensure farms in different locations operate according to the same production principles, standards and processes.
* Translate crop protocols and SOPs into practical farm operating plans, workflows, routines and controls.
* Lead and support local agronomy teams and ensure consistent execution across the organisation.
* Establish operating rhythms for crop planning, field monitoring, agronomic reviews and escalation of problems.
* Identify gaps between planned agronomic practices and actual field execution and drive corrective action.
* Work closely with Operations, Procurement and Product teams to ensure that agronomic plans can be executed reliably in the field.
* Help define staffing models, responsibilities and working processes for agronomy teams as FinAgra scales.
* Standardise how farms report agronomic activities, risks and performance.
* Support the launch and onboarding of new farms and new geographies.
* Build mechanisms for lessons learned in one farm or geography to be rapidly adopted across the entire network.

**What We’re Looking For**

* Strong professional background in agronomy, crop production, plant science or a related field.
* Significant hands-on experience managing commercial agricultural production.
* Experience managing multiple production sites, farms or regions, ideally across different geographies.
* Particularly relevant experience includes production management within seed companies, global agribusinesses or large-scale farming organisations.
* Strong understanding of farm operations and the practical realities of executing agronomic plans.
* Demonstrated ability to standardise processes and maintain consistent production standards across dispersed teams.
* Experience managing and developing agronomists or production teams.
* Ability to identify local agronomy talents across the world on the targeted markets.
* Guide, train and manage them.
* Strong operational discipline and ability to identify where execution is deviating from plan.
* Comfortable working with data, KPIs, and structured operating processes.
* Willingness to spend significant time in the field and travel between FinAgra markets.
