You will lead the commercial demand side of a platform accelerating sustainable crop development through machine learning.

• Join as the first commercial product hire, directly influencing investment decisions and the firm’s long‑term scientific roadmap.
• Backed by top‑tier venture capital firms and already collaborating with some of the world’s largest agricultural enterprises.

What You Will Do

• Build a voice‑of‑customer engine to synthesize market insights into sharp problem definitions and a ranked backlog of crop trait opportunities.
• Develop structured deal frameworks, including milestone logic and royalty structures, to provide commercial leverage during high‑level partnership negotiations.
• Define explicit success criteria and investment recommendations for internal trait programs to ensure the product stays anchored in market value.

The Ideal Candidate

• Proven experience in product strategy or business development within the agbiotech, seed, or crop science industries.
• Strong technical literacy in biology or genetics to engage credibly with research teams while translating complexity into commercial narratives.
• A builder’s mindset with the ability to create commercial processes from scratch in a fast‑paced, high‑growth startup environment.
