Description
Little Big Dairy Co is growing!
We're working with them to find 2 x roles: a Farm Operations Manager and, separately, an Executive Assistant to the CEO.
They run three businesses in one: a 1,000-hectare fodder operation, a herd of registered Holsteins, and an on-farm factory. Two new roles have opened as a result.
We are sitting down with Campbell Chesworth (director and Nuffield Scholar) to explain what the business is building, who they need, and why these roles have no uncapped potential.
