Farm Operations Manager

Responsibilities:

• Oversee daily farm activities, including livestock management, crop production, and resource allocation.
  
• Manage and lead farm staff, ensuring efficient task completion, providing training, and overseeing work schedules while modeling the punctuality and diligence you expect from the team.
  
• Collaborate with executives to create and monitor budgets and financial reports, ensuring cost-effective and transparent operations.
  
• Ensure proper feeding, breeding, health care, and general welfare of livestock, including goats and poultry.
  
• Schedule and oversee maintenance and repair of farm equipment and machinery, catching small issues before they become costly ones.
  
• Enforce strict biosecurity measures across all farm activities and personnel to prevent disease spread and protect the health of livestock and the farm environment.
  
• Maintain accurate, honest records of livestock production, farm expenses, and staff performance that hold up whether or not anyone reviews them that week.
  
• Stay current with agricultural advancements and bring new best practices back to the farm, not just for productivity but for the well-being of the animals in your care.

Requirements:

• Minimum of an HND in Animal Science, Veterinary Medicine, or a related field.
  
• Proven experience in Farm Management or a related role with references who can speak to your character, not just your output.
  
• Strong leadership and organizational skills, demonstrated through how you've handled a team, not just how you describe it.
  
• Working knowledge of budgeting, financial planning, and livestock care.
  
• Familiarity with agricultural equipment and technology.
  
• A track record free of integrity concerns will be verified.
• Ownership over supervision. You notice a broken fence or a sick goat before anyone tells you to look. You don't wait for instructions to do the right thing.
  
• Honesty under pressure. You report problems immediately, even when the news is bad — delayed tasks, sick animals, equipment failure, staff issues. We'd rather hear the truth late than a comfortable story.
  
• Discipline without shortcuts. Timeliness, thoroughness, and following the SOP even when no one's checking the checklist.
  
• Leadership by presence, not title. Your team follows what they see you do, not what they hear you say.
  
• Zero tolerance for negligence or dishonesty, in yourself first, and then in the people you manage.
