KW Sales Specialist - South West of England

The Role & Key Responsibilities

Job Title: KW Sales Specialist

Location: Hybrid, South West UK

Contract type and shift: Permanent, Monday – Friday – 37.5 hours per week

Package includes Salary from £50,000 (depending on experience) plus a benefits package designed to support your wellbeing and reward your impact, including performance related bonus, car allowance, private healthcare, and a matched pension contribution of up to 10%

At KW, customer experience sits at the heart of everything we do. As part of the wider Asterra Group, we’re proud to be one of the most progressive and forward-thinking feed businesses in the UK, combining national reach with genuine on-farm relationships.

We are on the lookout for a KW On-Farm Sales Specialist to join our supportive and motivated sales team. This is a field-based role, working directly with dairy and beef farmers to deliver practical, credible solutions that help their businesses perform and thrive.

What makes this role different is that we're versatile in our approach to background. If you bring previous experience in agricultural sales or on-farm operations, that’s great. If you do not have prior experience in agricultural sales or on-farm operations but can demonstrate a solid work ethic, curiosity about business practices in agriculture, and the tenacity required for a field-based sales role, we encourage your application.

Partnering with peers at KW and the extended Asterra business, you will take charge of a regional sales ledger, cultivating long-lasting, dependable relationships with farmers as you fulfill specified commercial targets.

You will design and implement a comprehensive sales strategy tailored to the region, demonstrating the Asterra model in agricultural settings. Supported by technical, nutrition, customer service and marketing teams, you’ll offer tailored solutions rather than “off-the-shelf” products – always putting the customer first.

This position involves a high level of initiative and personal responsibility. You’ll spend most of your time on farm, managing your own diary, spotting opportunities, and representing KW professionally within your territory and beyond.

• Building and managing a portfolio of dairy and beef customers, developing lasting, long-term relationships
• Delivering against budget and contributing to the wider national sales plan
• Creating and maintaining a strategic regional sales plan

• Comfort working with numbers, prices and margins
• A genuine interest in agriculture and willingness to build technical knowledge over time
• Credibility on farm and confidence engaging with farmers
• An understanding of the key drivers of the UK ruminant sector

Full technical training and ongoing support will be provided – what matters most is attitude, drive and commitment.

• Field-based role with regular travel across the South West of the UK (Such as:
  Severn Estuary, Devon, Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire, Berkshire, Somerset, Gloucester, Oxfordshire, Herefordshire)
• Full UK driving licence required
• Monday–Friday, 8:30am–5:00pm (with flexibility inherent in on-farm work)
• Budget responsibility for your own ledger

What sets us apart is how we delight our customers - and that’s because of great people like you. People with different life experiences who share common values. Together, we’re shaping a world where responsible nutrition is accessible to all. With a big goal comes equally big opportunities to make a career that truly feels like your own.…
