About the business
We're a purpose driven company seeking to make a positive difference to both our industries - the agriculture and meat industries – and our customers industries – the hospitality and retail industries.
based in Melbourne, and supplying many of Victoria's best restaurants with some of the best meat brands in the country, we're a growing family owned company with a positive working culture and a tight knit team.
Our culture is underpinned by positivity, and our core values reflect what, and how we do what we do. Every day.
OWN IT - We take responsibility for our work and our discipline. How we do anything is how we do everything.
DO IT - We work hard, and have each other’s back. We always find a way.
LOVE IT - We bring a positive outlook to work every day. We love what we do.
About the role
The role revolves around the promotion of our Roaring Forties Farms brands in the domestic and international space, cultivating long lasting relationships you’re your customers and being an SME when it comes to the meat game.
You will be a born natural at developing instant rapport with people from all walks of life. You can detect at the click of the fingers the wavelength that someone operates on, and match their energy level. You feel at home talking to anyone from a line cook to a purchasing manager or CEO.
You know that being honest, transparent, and vulnerable are the keys to building trust in relationships. Being clear, concise, and attentive. Under - promising, and over - delivering. Never missing a call. Always being on time. Saying exactly what you do, and doing exactly as you say.
You are an organisational powerhouse, able to keep track of your customers, their orders, shipping details, spec preferences, and forward plan to tick all of their boxes.
You are naturally inquisitive, always looking to learn more about the industry that we’re in, latest developments and new ways of doing things to create a better product and better experience for your customers.
You never give up. Satisfaction comes from the challenge, and if it was easy, then it wouldn't be half as much fun. Your internal engine fuels your passion and your work ethic. But your humility keeps your ego in check and allows you to stay grounded.
Reading this, you are thinking "Yes! Finally, a company that is talking the exact same language as me!!".
No? Maybe this isn't the role for you.
Yes? Then continue dear reader....
