The Opportunity
Bring your wealth of experience to this dynamic role, where you’ll collaborate with stakeholders both on-farm and in corporate settings. You'll have the chance to engage in a variety of projects that make a meaningful impact across Pāmu. From hands-on farm visits to strategic planning, you’ll witness firsthand the benefits of your efforts.
In this role, you will assess applications, integrations, and technology solutions to determine requirements, solutions and outcomes. You’ll support the development of business cases and oversee the implementation of new technologies, while managing a high-performing team, with a high engagement score – their current manager has this to say about them:
“The Solutions Team is a dedicated and passionate group that is committed to transforming our business and supporting our farmers with smart solutions. This amazing team consists of kind and empathetic individuals who are always willing to go the extra mile to understand our farmers' challenges and provide them with the right tools and technology. They are looking for a leader who will wholeheartedly support their passion for delivering, cultivate a positive work environment, and encourage some light-hearted fun when needed”
Bring your diverse skill set in customer products, technology business analysis, and data integration along with your customer-first approach that is “fit for purpose.”
You’ll thrive in an agile environment, championing and enhancing this capability within the team. While deep technical expertise is beneficial, your primary role will be to lead, motivate, and drive the team to achieve results.
You’ll face unique challenges, especially in understanding digital possibilities as they relate to agriculture and navigating a diverse range of stakeholders.

- Overseeing solution delivery, application portfolio, technology business analysis, architecture and technology onboarding and training practices

You Will Also Have:
