Benefits include shaping the next era of livestock genetics and agritech innovation, leading a globally respected institution through commercial transformation, working with a passionate team committed to impact and sustainability, and enjoying a world-class lifestyle in Armidale, NSW.
Candidates must demonstrate commercial acumen, engagement credibility with primary production stakeholders and global investors, and appreciation of genetic technologies in agriculture.
