Vice President of Commercial Operations

Vice President of Commercial Operations Needed to Lead Growth at Pro-Ag

Are you a hands-on operator ready to take full ownership of a post-harvest supply chain and make high-stakes calls without waiting for permission? Do you want to step into your first VP seat at a working farm where leaders are in the dirt with the crew rather than hiding in a corner office?

What You’ll Own

• Storage & Mill: Own shrink, moisture, quality, uptime, and throughput—making the mill a true margin lever.
• Freight & Future Plant: Run trucks, drivers, and broker networks like a standalone business, and help lead the buildout of our future processing facility.
• Customer Relationships: Partner directly with the CEO on relationship management, negotiate contracts, and close deals with buyers.

Year-One Success Targets

• Margin Recovery: Keep measurable dollars per bushel through reduced shrink and smarter execution.
• Freight as a Profit Center: Drive predictable, on-budget asset management.
• Operational Discipline: Maintain strict control over mill uptime, grain quality, safety, and on-time delivery.

Who You Are

• You have hands-on experience running a physical operation (plant, mill, yard, fleet, or terminal) and understand how revenue, cost, and margin move.
• You are fiercely accountable: when a bin shows a temperature spike at 9 p.m., you start the diagnosis instead of calling a meeting.
• You are fully prepared to relocate to northeastern Colorado for an on-site, 5+ day-a-week leadership role.

What We Don’t Care About

• Whether you’ve been a VP before. Plant managers, ops directors, and strong #2s ready to step up are welcome.
• Whether you grew up on a farm. We care that you can lead the operation.
• Whether your last job had "agriculture" in the title (food manufacturing, oil & gas, aggregates, construction, and distribution backgrounds fit well).
• Having a four-year degree.

Why This Job

• An immediate, high-impact leadership role from day one.
• A build-from-scratch future processing expansion opportunity.
• Life in northeastern Colorado: open sky, low cost of living, and room to build a life.

Compensation & Perks

• Competitive senior leadership base salary with performance bonuses tied directly to your year-one wins.
• Comprehensive benefits and full relocation support.

About the Vibe We’re a farm. We work when the work is there—delivering loads 7 days a week in season. If "VP" to you means a corner office and an assistant, this isn’t it. If it means owning the outcome end-to-end from where the work happens, read this twice and apply.
