About the role
- The Agronomy Manager is a high-impact field-facing role at the center of Sound’s mission to change how the world thinks about crop nutrition. Working side-by-side with Regional Sales Managers, commercial team members, and dealers, this position is all about turning science into action, helping dealers learn how to get the most out of every acre by deploying Sound’s technology. Half the Agronomy Manager’s time is dedicated to sales enablement and external engagement: leading dealer workshops and grower meetings, unpacking end-of-season results, creating content for our Sound platforms, and delivering in-field agronomy training that builds dealer and grower confidence. The other half focuses on core agronomy activities: training our sales team to position Sound’s portfolio, managing field trials with growers and partners, vetting new crop and product opportunities, and providing hands-on support during planting and harvest. This role is a great fit for someone who likes being out front with people, whether that’s leading dealers and growers into new agronomic practices or presenting results and insights to various audiences. At the same time, it’s for someone who thrives in the behind-the-scenes work: walking fields one-on-one, having real conversations with growers and dealers, and ensuring our pipeline stays full with strong product concepts and the data to back them up. The Agronomy Manager role is based remotely within the assigned territory and requires 40% +/- travel with seasonal fluctuations. The role reports to the VP, Agronomy.
