As a Strategic Account Manager, you will be a highly visible, field-facing representative of Agtonomy, spending significant time with farmers, growers, and enterprise customers to support demos, trials, and live deployments of our technology. This is a mid-level, quota-carrying sales role where success is driven by time in the field, deep customer understanding, and the ability to translate real-world feedback into commercial and product impact. You will work side-by-side with Field Engineering and Product teams to ensure customer needs are understood, validated, and reflected in how Agtonomy's solutions evolve. In this role, you are not just selling-you are acting as the voice of the customer, bringing insights from the field back into the organization to shape product decisions, go-to-market strategy, and customer experience. This position reports to the Director of Sales.

  • Partner closely with Field Operations to coordinate demos, troubleshoot issues, and ensure a strong customer experience.
  • Translate field learnings into clear, actionable insights for Product, Engineering, and Sales leadership.
  • Own follow-up conversations post-demo to progress opportunities toward commercial agreements.
  • Manage a portfolio of strategic accounts, driving revenue through pilots, expansions, and long-term customer adoption.
  • Maintain detailed notes, feedback, and opportunity tracking in HubSpot and Google Suites.
  • Participate in account planning, forecasting, and pipeline reviews with sales leadership.
  • Represent Agtonomy at field days, customer sites, grower meetings, and industry events.


What You'll Bring

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of education and relevant work experience preferred.
  • 4-7 years of experience in sales, account management, customer success, or field-facing roles, ideally within agriculture, ag tech, equipment, or industrial technology.
  • Demonstrated comfort working in the field with customers, including farms, test sites, or operational environments.
  • Ability to communicate effectively with hands-on operators as well as enterprise and executive stakeholders.
  • Strong listening skills and a structured approach to capturing and synthesizing customer feedback.
  • Experience supporting technical demos or pilots in collaboration with engineering or field teams.
  • Organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple accounts and field activities simultaneously.
  • Data-driven mindset with experience tracking opportunities, feedback, and outcomes.
  • Willingness to travel up to 50% of the time, with extended time on customer sites as needed.
  • Proficiency with Google Workspace, PowerPoint, Slack, CRM systems (HubSpot), and modern sales tools.


What Makes You a Strong Candidate

  • You enjoy being in the field and learning directly from customers.
  • You are curious, observant, and ask thoughtful questions to uncover real customer needs.
  • You take pride in being a strong advocate for the customer internally.
  • You are comfortable operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
  • You are passionate about automation, Physical AI, and improving how agricultural work gets done.
