Job Posting: Director of Seed Research and Development
Location: Regina, Saskatchewan Canada
Our client is one of Canada's largest Agricultural companies with well
over a billion dollars in revenues. They have the scale and scope to
take on projects that others cannot. Their annual budget for seed
variety research and development exceeds five million dollars. They
require a senior manager to direct the activities of this division and
manage the business aspects of R & D.
You will lead an exceptional team of scientists who are some of the
best seed geneticists in the world. As the Director of R & D you will
collaborate closely with your research team, other members of the
senior management team, and industry stakeholders as you decide on big
picture issues like:
what varieties to develop,
what traits to purchase,
what varieties to divest,
who to partner with, and
how to structure deals with suppliers, buyers and industry partners.
To be considered for this position, you must have a solid
understanding of both seed trait research and seed marketing. You
must have enough technical expertise to be able to truly communicate
with your research team and the biotech industry. In addition to
this, you must have enough business acumen to be able to assess the
markets, recognize opportunities and make business case
recommendations to the Senior Management Team. A plant science based
MSc or PhD is required and a Masters in Business would be an asset but
not a deal breaker. We will be looking for a proven track record of
making sound seed business decisions.
For more information about our client, the challenge, the team, our
hiring criteria or the lucrative compensation package, please call
Steve Peddie at AgCall Human Resources on a strictly confidential
basis. Toll free 888 254 3555 ext 229.
To apply, send a resume by e-mail to resumes@agcallhr.com. We will
assess applications as they come in and may proceed with interviews
before this posting expires. We will continue to accept applications
up until this position is filled.

community. |
