- Track sales activity, forecasts, and customer interactions using CRM tools.
- Stay current on agronomic research, emerging technologies, and regenerative agriculture practices.
What We’re Looking For
- Bachelor’s degree in Agronomy, Crop Science, Agriculture, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
- 3+ years of agronomy, crop consulting, or agricultural sales experience.
- Strong understanding of crop production, soil fertility, plant nutrition, and regenerative agriculture principles.
- Proven ability to build long-term customer relationships and drive sales growth.
- Excellent communication, presentation, and problem-solving skills, a true critical thinker.
- Self-motivated with the ability to work independently in a territory-based role.
- Willingness to travel extensively within the assigned territory.
- Certified Crop Adviser (CCA) or PCA licensed preferred
- Experience with biological products, specialty nutrition, cover crops, or soil health programs.
- Knowledge of precision agriculture technologies and data-driven agronomy.
- Established relationships with growers, retailers, and agricultural influencers.
- Must currently reside in California and have a valid U.S. Driver's license.
What We Offer
- Competitive base salary plus performance-based incentive compensation.
- Company vehicle, health, dental, and vision insurance, 401K, PTO and more
