At InnerPlant (www.innerplant.com) we are reimagining the role of crops in our farming system, developing crops that can tell us what they need by turning plants into Living Sensors. Our Smart Seeds signal early and specific stressors in a scalable and affordable way to reduce chemical and fertilizer use while increasing yields, delivering more with less.

We’re backed by industry giant John Deere and other veteran venture capitalists and are poised for massive growth to realize a more productive and sustainable farming system. InnerPlant is a place for dreamers and optimists, people that believe they can change the world and that want to take action to leave a positive lasting impact. If you share these traits and have a relentless drive to deliver under pressure - this is the opportunity for you.

InnerPlant is rolling out its first products in the Midwest. Our mission is to empower retailers, agronomists, and farmers with real-time, actionable data insights to optimize crop health and yield. We are seeking a highly motivated individual to join our team as a Field Sales Manager. This is a critical role responsible for driving grower enrollment–one of the most important metrics for InnerPlant’s success.

The Field Sales Manager will work closely with our Director of Sales and other team members to build relationships and generate business with retailers, ensure seamless onboarding and training of retail locations, and engage with growers to demonstrate the value of our products and technology. The ideal candidate will have a background or interest in agronomy, sales, and high-touch service and be passionate about driving innovation in agriculture.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Execute the go-to-market strategy and achieve sales targets in territory
  • Fully onboard retail customers, train crop advisors and sales agronomists to use our data insights platform effectively, and ensure they are motivated to push grower adoption
  • Collaborate with retail customers to execute sales efforts and enroll growers in InnerPlant’s data insights
  • Support the development and execution of marketing campaigns and promotional activities, including hosting grower meetings and technology demonstrations in the field
  • Provide ongoing support and engagement with retail customers and growers to ensure they understand and benefit of our technology, including field visits
  • Maintain a timely account of field activities, including maintenance of customer relationship management software
  • Participate in virtual meetings and coordinate with colleagues based in California, leveraging remote work/collaboration tools and technologies.
  • Gather feedback from users to inform continuous improvement of our products and services
