  • Work in a highly collaborative environment alongside Sales, R&D, Operations, Finance, and Marketing professionals.
  • Take ownership of well-established and emerging brands with strong market potential.

This role will be responsible for

  • Managing the full lifecycle of commercial animal feed products - from innovation to phase-out.
  • Leading long-term product planning, including the launch of line extensions and the retirement of underperforming SKUs.
  • Acting as the subject matter expert for your category by researching competitors, pricing strategies, and market dynamics.
  • Collaborating with cross-functional departments to capitalize on trends and drive category success.
  • Coordinating brand and marketing strategies with internal teams and agency partners.
  • Driving brand-level financial forecasting, promotional effectiveness, and sales reporting.
  • Allocating and managing brand budgets and resources.
  • Maintaining strong, strategic relationships with internal stakeholders and external partners.

Expectations will include

  • Becoming the go-to expert on category trends, customer insights, and competitor analysis.
  • Translating data into actionable insights that inform product strategy and promotional planning.
  • Delivering accurate forecasting and tracking tools to support financial, volume, and performance goals.
  • Leading cross-departmental teams to execute new product development and innovation.
  • Overseeing annual product planning and assisting in brand forecast alignment.
  • Representing the brand at internal meetings, dealer events, and industry functions—traveling approximately 15% of the time.

A qualified candidate will possess the following

  • Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science, Ag Business, Marketing, or a related field; MBA preferred.
  • 10+ years of experience in brand or product management, with a focus on lifecycle and innovation strategy.
  • Background in the animal feed or agricultural industry - particularly in commercial beef or swine - is strongly preferred.
  • Strong analytical thinking and business acumen to drive strategic decisions.
  • Excellent communication and leadership skills with the ability to lead cross-functional teams.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
  • Ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously and work effectively at all organizational levels.
