Technical Sales Specialist – Agribusiness (Fertiliser Sector)
Location: Central & Southern Italy (Lazio, Campania, Puglia & Southern Regions)
Client: Global Multinational Group (Mining & Agribusiness Leader)
Package: 55.000 to 80.000 euros gross per year + Monthly Car Allowance and performance base bonus
The Context & The Client
On behalf of our prestigious client-a leading global, well-capitalised multinational mining group and pioneer in sustainable agricultural solutions-we are seeking a senior sales professional to strengthen their agricultural commercial division in Italy.
Unlike typical startups or financially volatile ventures, our client offers the stability and strength of a structured multinational, backed by heavy, sustained investments in R&D and state-of-the-art extraction technology. At the core of the commercial portfolio is a unique, patented flagship multi-nutrient granular fertiliser, which supplies four essential macro-nutrients and trace elements to boost crop yields, improve quality, and enhance soil structure.
The Role & Key Responsibilities
Reporting to the Technical Sales Manager, the Technical Sales Specialist will drive territory-level sales activities and market demand across the assigned territory (Lazio and Southern Italy).
Territory Sales Execution: Execute territory-level sales plans aligned with regional commercial strategy and revenue targets.
*
Pipeline Management: Build and manage a high-quality sales pipeline through structured customer engagement and targeted outreach.
*
Field Presence (“Field-First”): Maintain a heavy, sustained field presence with direct visits to growers, distributors, dealers, retailers, and blenders.
*
Technical Promotion & Trials: Promote and communicate the product’s agronomic and economic benefits clearly via conferences, trade events, and field demonstrations.
*
Commercial Proposals: Prepare customer proposals, integrating pricing inputs, product schedules, and value-based arguments.
*
Channel Development: Identify and help develop new strategic channel partners to accelerate market access and penetration.
*
Market Intelligence & CRM: Capture and report market insights-competitor positioning, customer needs, and pricing sensitivity-via CRM tools (Salesforce).
Why this is a unique “Builder Mandate”: You will have the opportunity to open up new distributor relationships and build a territory from an early stage rather than simply managing a mature book, while enjoying the long-term career growth, stability, and prestige of a major multinational.
The Ideal Candidate Profile
The successful candidate combines a solid technical background with proven commercial experience in the agricultural inputs market, alongside a strong field-first mindset:
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Agronomy, Business, Marketing, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience).
*
Experience: Proven sales experience within the Italian agricultural inputs market (preferably in fertilisers, or alternatively within plant-protection/fito sectors). Experience launching new agricultural input products in Italy is a strong plus.
*
Network: Existing personal network and prior experience with agricultural distributors, dealers, or retail partners in Puglia, Campania, and Sicily.
*
Technical Skills: Sound grounding in soil science, crop nutrition, Italian farming systems, and fertiliser supply-chain logistics.
*
Soft Skills: Strong personal organisation, resilience, patience, and a consultative sales approach focused on driving in-market demand.
