The Company
Botanical Resources Australia is a specialist agricultural business with a global footprint and a strong base in Northwest Tasmania.
Best known for producing natural insecticide ingredients from Australian-grown pyrethrum, BRA operates across farming, research, manufacturing and agricultural services. Its seed function also supports specialist processing for internal and external customers across a diverse range of high-value crops.
The business combines deep technical knowledge with a practical, cooperative culture and a robust focus on quality.
The Opportunity
Reporting to the General Manager - Agriculture Services, you will take ownership of BRA's specialist seed operation and lead a small permanent and casual team.

BRA has strengthened its systems and processes considerably,



creating a solid base for the successful person to build on. The opportunity now is to bring the function together, develop the team and improve how the operation supports customers and the wider business.
About You
You enjoy working close to production. You're practical, approachable and happy to spend time in the paddock, shed and processing facility to understand how the business operates before introducing improvements.
While experience in seed production is highly regarded, we're equally interested in candidates from broader agricultural production, agronomy, crop operations or similar industries. Strong leadership capability and alignment with the team and business culture will be key to success in the role.
To succeed, you will bring:
Experience leading operational teams
Confidence working with growers and building trusted relationships
A practical, hands-on leadership style
Strong planning, quality and organisational skills
An interest in improving systems after first understanding how they work
A forklift high-risk work licence and ChemCert accreditation would be advantageous but are not essential.

Take ownership of a specialised seed operation
Shape systems, team capability and future growth
Build broader leadership and commercial experience
Work within a unique agricultural business with global reach
