Fertiliser Commercial Lead - Bartholomews

Do you have experience in fertiliser and would you be interested in a role with genuine commercial depth, beyond pure buying and selling?

This is an opportunity to step into a senior fertiliser position within a well‑established agricultural business that manufactures its own fertiliser, operates dockside production at Southampton, and works with exclusive, differentiated products in the UK market.

• Buy and trade fertiliser products, using your market knowledge to make smart commercial decisions and spot opportunities
• Work closely with production and operations to ensure the right product is in the right place at the right time
• Play a key role in shaping pricing, margins and the commercial direction of the fertiliser range
• Be involved with interesting, differentiated products, including exclusive lines not available elsewhere in the market
• Have real influence within the business, working directly with senior leadership rather than sitting behind a trading desk

• Current, hands‑on experience working in fertiliser trading or fertiliser procurement
• Strong understanding of fertiliser markets, pricing and supply dynamics
• Commercially minded, with the confidence to contribute at senior level
• Comfortable working closely with operations and production teams
• A professional outlook that aligns with a values‑led, long‑term business

• Competitive salary dependent on experience
• A senior, influential fertiliser role
• Exposure to manufacturing, dockside operations and exclusive products
• Long‑term opportunity within a stable, well‑resourced agribusiness
• Genuine scope to shape how the fertiliser function operates commercially
