Techno-Commercial Manager (Poultry Sector)

About the Role

We are a global animal health company expanding our footprint in Kazakhstan. To drive this strategic growth, we are looking for a veterinary professional with a strong commercial edge – a person who not only understands poultry health inside out but also knows how to sell, negotiate, and build lasting partnerships with the country’s leading poultry producers.

This is a hands‑on techno‑commercial leadership position. You will be the face of our company in Kazakhstan, responsible for bringing our portfolio of vaccines, antibiotics, feed additives, and biosecurity products to large‑scale broiler and layer farms, integrators, hatcheries, and feed mills.

Key Responsibilities

• Market Penetration & Client Acquisition
  Establish direct relationships with farm owners, procurement directors, and chief veterinarians of all major poultry operations across Kazakhstan. Identify and prioritise high‑potential accounts.

• Technical Veterinary Consulting
  Provide expert guidance on poultry health management, biosecurity protocols, vaccination programmes, antibiotic stewardship, and nutrition optimisation. Be a trusted advisor to your clients.

• Trials & Sales Conversion
  Design, organise, and monitor product trials on client sites. Analyse performance data (mortality, feed conversion, weight gain) and present compelling economic cases to convert trials into long‑term commercial contracts.

• Distributor & Partner Management
  Oversee existing distribution channels, recruit new partners, and ensure seamless execution of business development activities across all regions of Kazakhstan.

• Strategic Representation
  Represent the company at industry conferences, exhibitions, and high‑level negotiations. Act as the senior techno‑commercial authority for the Kazakh market.

Candidate Profile – Must‑Haves

• Veterinary degree (DVM or equivalent) with a clear specialisation in industrial poultry (broilers / layers). A Master’s degree is a plus.

• Minimum 5 years of hands‑on experience in the poultry sector, including senior roles at commercial farms, integrators, or international veterinary/pharmaceutical companies.

• Proven track record in B2B technical sales – you have successfully sold veterinary products, feed additives, or vaccines to poultry producers and can demonstrate tangible sales growth.

• Deep existing network within Kazakhstan’s poultry industry – you know the key players personally and have established trust with decision‑makers.

• Strong commercial acumen – you can structure deals, handle objections, and close contracts while maintaining technical credibility.

• Excellent negotiation, presentation, and communication skills in Russian (native/fluent) and English (C1 – Advanced) – you will regularly interact with international management and report in English.

• Own car and valid driving licence (category B) – daily travel within Almaty region and frequent business trips to Aktau, Karaganda, Pavlodar, Northern Kazakhstan, and other regions are essential.

Desirable Skills

• Experience with international animal health companies (e.g., Zoetis, Ceva, MSD, HIPRA, etc.).

• Knowledge of the regulatory environment for veterinary products in Kazakhstan.

• Kazakh language is an advantage.

• Leadership experience – ability to mentor junior staff and build a future team.

What We Offer

• Strategic, high‑visibility role with direct impact on business growth in Central Asia.

• Competitive compensation:

  • Base salary: $5,000 – $6,000 USD/month.

  • Attractive performance‑based bonuses.

• Flexible work arrangement – home office with extensive field work.

• Opportunity for career progression – potential to build and lead a commercial/technical team in Kazakhstan.
