Opportunities are available across Southwest Saskatchewan, Northeast Saskatchewan, Southwest Manitoba, and Central Alberta, with candidates able to live within their respective territory.

Our client has been successfully operating in Western Canada for more than 20 years. Known for challenging the status quo, they work with key manufacturers to strategically develop and market agronomically advanced solutions through agricultural retailers, leading-edge agronomists, ag consultants, and progressive growers.

Their goal is to simplify agricultural science and demonstrate how proven agronomic practices and products can improve farm operations and deliver measurable returns through research-based approaches.

Are you an experienced agricultural sales professional who is passionate about agronomy, soil health, crop fertility, and helping growers make better-informed decisions?

Do you enjoy challenging conventional thinking, building trusted relationships, and translating complex agronomic science into practical solutions that deliver measurable value?

If so, please read on!

WHY CONSIDER THIS ROLE?

• Take ownership of a regional territory and manage it with the independence of running your own business
• Represent an advanced portfolio of fertility, biological, plant nutrition, and agronomic analytics solutions
• Work directly with retailers, agronomists, consultants, and growers to develop practical fertility strategies backed by science and measurable ROI
• Join an organization that encourages new ideas, challenges conventional approaches, and is focused on advancing Canadian agriculture
• Build your technical, sales, and business expertise while working alongside knowledgeable professionals across Western Canada
• Benefit from a performance-driven compensation structure with uncapped earning potential

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF THE REGIONAL AGRONOMIC ACCOUNT MANAGER

As a Regional Agronomic Account Manager, you will be the key connection between our client, its retail partners, agronomists, consultants, and the growers they serve within your assigned territory.

This is more than a traditional sales role. You will combine technical agronomic knowledge with strategic sales execution, helping customers implement smarter and more efficient approaches to seed, soil, and plant fertility.

You will take ownership of growing your territory through direct sales calls and relationship development while positioning complete fertility systems rather than individual products. You will serve as a technical resource for key influencers, identify new market and distribution opportunities, conduct demonstration trials, and help customers translate agronomic science into practical solutions for their operations.

Success in this role requires initiative and independence. You will spend approximately 50% of your time travelling, including approximately three days per week within your territory on a regular basis. You will work independently in your region while remaining connected to a broader sales, marketing, and agronomy team across Western Canada.

AM I A GOOD FIT FOR THIS UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY?

• Minimum of 5 years of agricultural sales and marketing experience, with more extensive industry experience preferred
• Previous experience working within agricultural retail is strongly valued
• Strong knowledge of agronomy, soil health, crop fertility, biologicals, or plant enhancement technologies
• B.Sc. Agriculture or an Agriculture Business Diploma is preferred; significant relevant agronomic and agricultural sales experience will also be considered
• Demonstrated success developing sales and relationships within retail and wholesale markets
• A self-starter who is comfortable taking ownership of a large territory and working independently with limited direct supervision
• Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to develop lasting relationships with growers, retailers, agronomists, consultants, and other industry professionals
• Strong communication and presentation skills, including the ability to translate detailed scientific information into practical, decision-ready information
• A commitment to continuous learning in agronomy, sales, and business best practices
• Comfortable with extensive regional travel, including approximately three days per week in the territory on a regular basis
