Job summary

We are currently recruiting for a Team Coordinator to work on a hybrid basis, with two/three days per week based at our Coventry HQ and the remainder working from home. The successful candidate will be required to work five days per week, Monday to Friday.

This is a key role within the team, supporting the smooth day-to-day running of activities and helping to deliver high-profile projects and research. The position is well suited to an experienced administrator who is organised, proactive, and confident managing multiple priorities. Acting as a central point of coordination, the Team Coordinator will build strong working relationships, support project delivery, and help ensure work is completed efficiently and to a high standard.

About AHDBWe are the independent, impartial public body that unlocks success in British agriculture. Funded by a levy from over 100,000 British producers in the beef, lamb, pork, dairy and cereals sectors, we support and champion farmers, growers and processors, often where no one else can or will.

We share the expert, evidence-based research and reports that inform on-farm decision making. We promote British produce to the UK public through domestic marketing campaigns, and we identify and open new global export opportunities to help farm businesses grow.

We help levy payers learn more, sell more and export more to remain sustainable and profitable. Together, we deliver the insights, the influence and the impact that farmers need.
