Sales Agronomist

PGG Wrightson Seeds established Corson Maize in 2011 to deliver high-performing maize hybrids with proven yield and quality benefits to New Zealand growers. Sourced from leading international breeding programmes, Corson Maize hybrids undergo extensive multi-year evaluation and testing before being introduced to the market — and the results are speaking for themselves.

With strong market growth and increasing demand, we are looking to appoint an experienced and passionate Sales Agronomist to service the West & South Waikato region (Hamilton through to Taumarunui).

About the Role

Reporting to the National Business Manager, this sales-focused position is ideal for a motivated and energetic individual who thrives on building trusted relationships, identifying new opportunities, and delivering practical technical advice to farmers, retailers, consultants, contractors, and key influencers.

You’ll work with both new and existing customers to promote Corson Maize hybrids and seed treatment products, contribute to regional sales growth, support demonstration and trial site development, and provide retailer training and canvassing to strengthen market capability.

What We’re Looking For

• Sales experience, preferably within the agricultural sector
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills
• Ability to plan, prioritise, and manage daily and weekly activities
• Solid understanding of maize production and broader farming systems
• A proactive, positive, and results-driven approach

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a science-led seed business backed by global breeding programmes and industry-leading research.
• Join a collaborative, high-performing team with strong technical expertise and a genuine passion for the maize industry.
• Competitive salary (commensurate with experience) plus a company vehicle, life, health, and income protection insurance.

At PGG Wrightson Seeds, part of the global DLF Group, our purpose is to enrich land, life, and people through seeds and science. Guided by our Connecting to Grow strategy, we’re committed to developing great careers for great people and supporting long-term success in the markets we serve.
