Bartholomews Fertiliser Commercial Lead

Are you an experienced fertiliser trader looking for a role with real commercial depth, not just buying and selling?

This is an opportunity to step into a senior fertiliser position within a well-established agricultural business that manufactures its own fertiliser, operates dockside production at Southampton, and works with exclusive, differentiated products in the UK market.

Bartholomews are looking for a fertiliser professional who knows the market inside out and wants to play a key role in shaping purchasing, pricing and product strategy.

The Role

• Take a senior, hands-on position at the centre of a fertiliser business that manufactures its own product and operates dockside at Southampton

• Buy and trade fertiliser products, using your market knowledge to make smart commercial decisions and spot opportunities

• Work closely with production and operations to ensure the right product is in the right place at the right time

• Play a key role in shaping pricing, margins and the commercial direction of the fertiliser range

• Be involved with interesting, differentiated products, including exclusive lines not available elsewhere in the market

• Have real influence within the business, working directly with senior leadership rather than sitting behind a trading desk

What They’re Looking For

• Current, hands-on experience working in fertiliser trading or fertiliser procurement

• Strong understanding of fertiliser markets, pricing and supply dynamics

• Commercially minded, with the confidence to contribute at senior level

• Comfortable working closely with operations and production teams

• A professional outlook that aligns with a values-led, long-term business

What’s On Offer

• Competitive salary dependent on experience

• A senior, influential fertiliser role

• Exposure to manufacturing, dockside operations and exclusive products

• Long-term opportunity within a stable, well-resourced agribusiness

• Genuine scope to shape how the fertiliser function operates commercially
