Branch Manager

We're seeking a driven and relationship-focused Branch Manager for one of our clients' retail location, part of a well-established agricultural cooperative. This branch has strong roots in the community, and while we're not in a crisis, we're ready to invest in the right person to bring it back to top performance and long-term stability. This is an ideal role for someone ready to take the next step—whether you're a team lead, supervisor, or someone with a few years of ag retail experience who thrives on customer interaction, accountability, and follow-through.

What You'll Be Doing:

Lead the day-to-day operations of a small ag retail location with three team members . Act as the face of the branch—build and maintain customer relationships with area farmers and ag partners. Build service reputation by delivering on promises: under promise and over deliver is key. Collaborate with agronomists and other experienced branch managers across our coop network to learn and grow in the role. Manage product, inventory, customer orders, and general branch duties. Guide and support team members while fostering a positive, results-driven environment. Step into a leadership role that may grow over time—this is a long-term opportunity, not a stopgap.

Who We're Looking For:

Personality first. We're open to candidates from within or outside the ag coop world, but must come from crop production in the agriculture industry. Extraverted, accountable, and honest —we want someone who can talk honestly, not just say what people want to hear. Willing to train, ask questions , and lean on others in the coop for knowledge and support. Comfortable in a leadership role, even if you haven't held the title of "Manager" before. Someone with the drive to move the branch forward, not just hold the line. Open to sales conversations and relationship-building—it's a big part of the job. Strong attention to detail and follow-through—you'll be trusted to deliver what you say.

Compensation & Benefits:

Base Salary:

$65,000 - $75,000 Up to $80,000 for a rockstar with strong fit and leadership potential Company Truck included Health Insurance + PTO Includes an extra local health benefit to assist with deductibles

Retirement:

Coop pension plan 401(k) with 2% match + 50% match up to 4% Why This Role is

Open:

The prior long-term manager retired. While the current manager is holding steady operationally, it's clear he's not the long-term fit and he would prefer to move back into operations. We've both recognized it, and we're ready to fix it. This isn't a mess—this is an opportunity to step into a stable branch , make it your own, and grow into a long-term leadership role in the coop.
