Graze Publisher & Business Development Manager

Help Shape the Future of Graze Magazine

Graze Magazine is looking for an entrepreneurial, motivated professional to lead the business development and day-to-day management of an established publication serving the dairy grazing and grass-based livestock community.

For years, Graze has been a trusted source of practical information, farmer experiences, and industry insights for producers committed to pasture-based agriculture. We're looking for someone who understands this community, appreciates the value of independent agricultural journalism, and is excited about helping the publication grow.

This is a unique opportunity for someone who enjoys building relationships, generating revenue, creating quality content, and taking ownership of a small business. The right candidate will be equally comfortable connecting with advertisers, interviewing farmers, editing articles, and identifying new opportunities to strengthen the magazine's future.

What You'll Do

• Drive advertising sales and business development. Build relationships with agricultural businesses, grow advertising revenue, retain existing advertisers, and develop new revenue opportunities.
• Manage magazine operations. Oversee the day-to-day activities of the publication, ensuring consistent, high-quality issues are produced on schedule.
• Support editorial excellence. Write, edit, and proofread engaging, accurate content that reflects the interests and experiences of the grazing community.
• Build industry relationships. Develop and maintain strong connections with farmers, advertisers, contributors, agricultural organizations, and industry partners.
• Grow the magazine's reach. Identify creative opportunities to expand readership, subscriptions, partnerships, and digital engagement.
• Strengthen business performance. Take an active role in managing resources, improving efficiency, and building a financially sustainable publication.

What We're Looking For

We're seeking a resourceful, self-directed professional who brings a combination of agricultural knowledge, business development experience, and strong communication skills.

Ideal qualifications include:

• Strong familiarity with dairy farming, grazing agriculture, grass-based livestock production, or related agricultural industries.
• Demonstrated experience in advertising sales, business development, or relationship-based selling.
• Excellent writing, editing, and proofreading skills.
• Experience in publishing, journalism, marketing, or content development.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines.
• An entrepreneurial mindset with the initiative to identify opportunities and turn ideas into results.
• The ability to communicate comfortably and credibly with farmers, agricultural businesses, and industry professionals.
• A willingness to be hands-on and take responsibility for both business growth and the practical work of producing a magazine.

Experience with digital publishing, subscription-based publications, or agricultural media is a plus.
