Reputation Beef Marketing Seeking Chief Executive Officer
Monday, August 02, 2004 (161 reads)
Opportunity Profile
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
United Cattle Company, LLC
dba: Reputation Beef Marketing
Location To Be Determined
COMPANY OVERVIEW
Reputation Beef Marketing is a start-up enterprise with a mission to transform the beef cattle industry by extending the reach of private treaty transactions beyond the limits of local markets. The Company was founded by experienced cattlemen who understand the difficulties faced by today¡¦s producers. The founders believe that producers can be best served by providing them with an efficient means to share their management practices and herds to an increasingly selective buyer pool throughout the country.
The Company will deploy knowledgeable Field Agents who will exclusively serve the needs of the producer¡Xa first for the industry. These Field Agents will work with the producers to employ, then present the herd management practices that yield the best value for the producer.
Buyers, on the other hand, demand more reliable and consistent information regarding the quality of cattle they are buying. The Company will encourage the capture of extensive life-cycle information about the cattle and make this information available to buyers in order to build trust in the relationship.
The Company is not an internet or video auction cattle marketing firm. Rather, the Company will utilize innovative technology to share comprehensive information about the producers and their cattle to a buying community whose requirements will be known in order to reduce transactional risk and yield fair pricing. The Company will facilitate transactions from the ranch/farm, thereby minimizing losses and maximizing value to all parties. It is called Private Treaty Without BoundariesTM.
ORGANIZATIONAL ETHOS
The following commitments are very important to the mission of Reputation Beef Marketing and are expected to be a part of the organization¡¦s culture. The CEO will be expected to embrace these values that are central to the organization's vision for the future.
Impeccable Character & Honesty ¡V Over the years, the founders of Reputation Beef Marketing have built their reputations in the cattle industry on the values of honesty and their best attempt to have impeccable character. Their goal is for the culture at Reputation Beef Marketing to be the same.
Under Promise and Over Deliver ¡V In a world where many vendors are long on promises and short on delivery, the goal of Reputation Beef Marketing is to have a culture where people know they can count on the organization to deliver on their commitments.
Entrepreneurial Culture - The culture at Reputation Beef Marketing will be very entrepreneurial. Some would say ¡§lean and mean.¡¨ The CEO must be comfortable with ambiguity, a self-starter, and able to bring order especially in the early stages of growth. This is no place for someone who is steeped in bureaucratic methodologies.
Strong Commitment to Family ¡V Family is important to the founders of Reputation Beef Marketing. As with most senior leadership positions, this position will usually be more than a 40-hour-a-week job; travel time will be significant. It is expected that attention to family will be a high priority. The family situation should be sufficiently strong as to not be adversely affected by the demands of the position.
Strong Commitment to Community ¡V Aside from the four to five large producers, the cattle industry tends to be centered on smaller producers and around small- to mid-sized communities. It is the goal of Reputation Beef Marketing to value community and all that this tradition has meant to the industry.
