Independent Director

Wellington

  • Innovative & purpose driven business
  • Heavily networked in the Primary Sector
  • Champion agricultural and environmental synergy

Our agricultural land is central to the way we identify as New Zealanders. At Overseer, we work closely with partners and scientific and agriculture sectors, supporting sustainable farming practices that protect the environment alongside successful farming returns.

We‘ve been modelling farm systems for over 30 years, producing an unrivalled realism and insight into how our models capture their essence. Overseer creates robust tools, backed by science, so customers can make better decisions for their land, their commercial success and the future.

The Board is seeking to appoint an independent director who is well networked and connected with key influencers in the primary industries sector, the pastoral sector in particular. Ideally with commercial experience in the AgriTech space, it would be a real advantage if you have experience with the application of technology and an understanding of the complexities around science, AI and modelling.

Suitable candidates will also have proven governance experience with strong commercial acumen, a high level of political astuteness, able to see the bigger picture and be highly credible in the sector. Additionally, you could have the ability to transition to the Chair in time.

This opportunity will appeal to NZ based governance candidates wanting to be part of an organisation that supports New Zealand’s agriculture and environmental stewardship to thrive by connecting agricultural decision-makers to scientific progress, data and insights.
