About The Position

This is a genuine opportunity for an experienced sales professional to take ownership of a high-potential territory and grow it. As Sales Manager for the United States, you'll manage a portfolio of accounts across key row crop and specialty growing regions — building and deepening relationships with distributors, co-operatives, and growers while actively developing new business. You'll carry commercial targets, shape your own territory strategy, and operate with a high degree of autonomy, supported by a tight-knit U.S. team and a globally connected organization. This is a role for someone who is energized by the full sales cycle - from prospecting and relationship building through to closing - and who takes genuine pride in the results they drive. You'll have the freedom to work in a way that reflects your experience and judgment, and the accountability that comes with it.

Requirements

Proven commercial track record. A strong record in crop protection or agribusiness sales - you've carried a territory, delivered results, and built lasting commercial relationships.
Established U.S. networks. Distributors, co-operatives, and growers in your region know you - and you can open doors quickly.
Agronomic knowledge relevant to U.S. row crops. You can hold a credible technical conversation on corn and soybeans, and tailor your approach to local cropping systems; experience with wheat, potatoes, cotton, or other specialty crops is a strong advantage.
University and Extension relationships. Familiarity with U.S. agricultural university networks
A proactive, commercial mindset. You identify opportunities, build a plan, and follow through with the persistence and professionalism needed to win.
Self-direction and accountability. You thrive with autonomy, manage your own time and priorities effectively, and hold yourself to a high standard.
An entrepreneurial perspective. You're comfortable building and improving - not just maintaining - and you bring energy and initiative to a growing business.
Strong communication skills. Clear, credible, and adaptable across growers, distributors, internal teams, and leadership.
Willingness to travel extensively. This is a role built on presence and relationships — travel across your territory is a core part of the job.
