About SkyAcres

SkyAcres is redefining how we grow and access food — building modular vertical farms that turn underutilized spaces into clean, efficient, year-round sources of fresh produce. Our farms grow more with less and deliver hyper-local, pesticide-free greens to retailers, restaurants, and food creators within hours of harvest.

We're growing fast, and we’re looking for a driven team member to help us bring our mission — and our produce — to more tables.

SkyAcres has been recognized as a leader in agricultural innovation and clean technology :

• Named one of the Top 20 AgTech Startups in the World by the Grow-NY Global Food Innovation Competition
• Funded by Google for Startups , as part of their North American accelerator cohort
• Voted 2nd Best Startup in British Columbia (2025)

We’re building not just a product, but a movement — and the world is starting to take notice.

Role Overview

As a Sales & Customer Development Associate , you’ll be the face of SkyAcres to chefs, grocery buyers, restaurant owners, and more. Your role is about building authentic relationships, dropping off samples, following up, and helping close deals alongside our founder and CMO. You’ll play a key part in expanding our presence across the Lower Mainland and beyond.

This is a great opportunity for someone who loves food, values sustainability, and wants to grow into a leadership role at a rising agri-tech company.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify and reach out to prospective grocery stores, chefs, and food businesses
• Deliver samples and communicate SkyAcres’ value proposition
• Follow up with leads, coordinate meetings, and maintain CRM notes
• Support the sales pipeline from first contact to close (with help from the founder)
• Assist in setting up pop-ups, tastings, or small demo events
• Work closely with the Chief Marketing Officer to align outreach and brand messaging
• Track feedback from buyers and share insights with the operations and product teams

Qualifications

• Strong communication skills and comfort with in-person outreach
• Valid driver’s license and access to reliable transportation
• Prior experience in food sales, agriculture, or hospitality is a strong asset
• Highly self-motivated, organized, and persistent
• Comfortable working independently and asynchronously
• Must be under 30 (as per funding requirements)
• Full training provided — learn about vertical farming and clean food tech
• Work directly with company leadership (founder & CMO)
• Big growth potential — future executive roles in sales, partnerships, or growth

At SkyAcres, we believe in unlocking your full potential — not just in your core role, but beyond it. Team members are encouraged to spend part of their time exploring side projects that align with their interests or curiosity. Whether you're looking to pick up new skills, explore a different part of the company, or just try something fun and hands-on, we’ve got you covered.

Optional Opportunities include :

• Learning basic engineering or plant science by running your own beginner-friendly experiments
• Traveling with the systems setup team — upcoming trips include Kelowna, New York State, Toronto
• Collaborating on UX / UI design and prototyping for SkyAcres’ mobile apps
• Teaching students about vertical farming, agri-business, and the future of food
• Supporting R&D with ideas that can make their way into real farms across Canada

We value curiosity, creativity, and initiative — and we’re building a culture where side projects can spark real impact.
