Job description

The Holganix team is looking for a Direct Sales Manager, also known to us as a Soil Health Specialist, to empower growers with regenerative agriculture solutions that improve soil vitality, increase yields, and reduce input dependency. At Holganix, we revolutionize the way the world grows by manufacturing and distributing a liquid microbial solution (think of it as a probiotic for soil) to primarily farmers (but also landscapers, golf courses, and performance turf users) across America and Canada. Our solution dramatically increases soil health, ultimately improving crop yield and reducing the need for other inputs like fertilizer, pesticides, and water. Additionally, our solution significantly impacts carbon sequestration in the soil and improves the carbon intensity score of a crop.

We strive to be a diverse and connected team of humble and confident problem solvers who are excited as our team and mission grow! Thanks to our farmers, we are growing fast, and you will be tasked to help with a host of different tasks that will give you options to grow within the company and learn things you might not have learned at a larger company

More About You

A purpose-driven, curious communicator who thrives in dynamic environments and sees soil not just as dirt, but as potential. You enjoy building authentic relationships, educating others, and driving meaningful change in agriculture. You love the land, and you want to help those who steward it thre.
