• Purchase grain from customers, process grain contracts, and issue payments upon request.
• Understand grain contracts, marketing options, futures markets, and how market changes affect local cash prices.
• Share accurate grain market information with customers.
• Handle accounts payable invoices and payments, and coordinate bank transfers as needed.
• Communicate with customers, truck drivers, and other facility locations to resolve discrepancies and keep transactions accurate.
• Address customer concerns independently or with management support.
• Help hire, train, and supervise seasonal office employees.
• Maintain a clean, organized office and care for office equipment.

What We're Looking For

• Excellent customer service and communication skills.
• Strong attention to detail, basic accounting aptitude, and comfort working with numbers.
• Ability to learn grain accounting, spreadsheet software, and the Agris system.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently during busy periods.
• Dependability, punctuality, and a strong attendance record.
• Ability to manage multiple responsibilities while keeping records accurate.
• A valid driver's license.

Pay & Schedule

• $17 per hour
• Paid overtime
• Monday through Saturday, 7:00 AM-7:00 PM
• Sunday work as needed

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys working with people, is comfortable with numbers, and wants to take on a varied role supporting an agricultural operation.
