Help Shape the Future of Luxury Wagyu

This is a pivotal growth role for Stone Axe Pastoral Company as we continue building our presence. The right person will combine commercial grit, relationship-building and a passion for premium food to help establish one of the world’s most respected Wagyu brands in the market.
