🏢 About EarthOptics
EarthOptics is pioneering sustainable soil management technology that combines precision agriculture with environmental stewardship. Unlike traditional ag-tech companies, they focus specifically on soil health optimization using advanced technology to help farmers increase yields while reducing environmental impact. Working here means contributing directly to greener agricultural practices and helping build a more sustainable food system.
About This Role
As a Profissional de Desenvolvimento de Mercado (PJ), you'll be responsible for driving sales of EarthOptics' soil management services by identifying and prospecting new clients in the agricultural sector. This role involves representing the company at industry events, collaborating with existing clients to align services, and expanding market presence for sustainable soil technology solutions. Your work directly impacts the adoption of precision agriculture practices that improve soil health and crop productivity.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day involves researching and identifying potential agricultural clients in specific Brazilian regions, then reaching out via phone or video calls to introduce EarthOptics' soil management services. You might spend time preparing presentations on soil health data for prospective clients, following up with existing clients to ensure service alignment, and planning for upcoming agricultural trade shows or events. The remote nature means you'll be managing your own schedule while coordinating with EarthOptics' technical team to address client questions about soil analysis and recommendations.
