Who We Are
We are a climate tech company committed to reversing climate change. How do we reach this lofty goal? By ushering the agriculture industry into the new era!
Founded by globally recognized innovators in science and ag technology, Regrow is unlocking the power and profitability of resilient agriculture across the supply chain — supporting industry leaders, from growers to global food brands. Regrow combines best-in-class agronomy, soil and carbon modeling, remote sensing and AI to deliver customized, site-specific, scalable solutions to the agri-food industry.
Our customers are frontrunners in agri-food and agtech (Cargill, General Mills, Nutrien, Unilever), ranging from global market operators, project developers, global food brands, and independent farmers. We help partners measure their impact on the environment, model and implement changes that will be environmentally and financially sustainable, and track partners’ progress against sustainability goals.
We're backed by leading investors, such as Galvanize Climate Solutions, Microsoft's Venture Fund, Cargill, The Grantham Environmental Trust (NCO), TIME Ventures, Main Sequence Ventures (MSEQ), and more, all of whom believe in our vision to change the world through resilient agriculture.
Our Mission
Agriculture has the power to reverse climate change. We believe science and technology can help us get there. Our goal is to use farmland to cool the earth. We are currently monitoring 1.2B acres of land (10% of global arable land). This year alone, with just one project, our carbon emissions reductions are equivalent to taking 17,000 cars off the road! We are already on our way to a more sustainable planet.
How you'll make an impact at Regrow
Regrow is looking for a Global Account Director that will be dedicated to one of our premier customers, Cargill. You will need a history of developing and growing relationships within a global brand that is or similar to Cargill and have experience building a global strategy that centers around their strategic initiatives. This role reports directly to the Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) and while you won’t have any direct reports, you will have several adjacent partners that will have a “dotted line” into you to support the needs of the customer/s. You will be a part of a growing sales team that is building an exciting technology platform using AI that is revolutionizing the Agricultural Tech space. Our ideal candidate will have deep experience developing and navigating multi-faceted client relationships resulting in $3M-5M+ annually in growth. The Global Account Director will own the relationship with one to two large customers but be responsible for growing the account by fostering new relationships in new business units and sub brands while expanding existing business within known relationships.
You will be responsible for building an actionable Account Plan within the first 90 days that illustrates the growth potential of your account/s and a plan of action to realize the potential. You will also work with the product and leadership teams to define strategic opportunities for growth and eliminate dependencies to achieve significant growth expectations. We are looking for someone who has a strong customer centric philosophy and is savvy at negotiating 7 and 8 figure deals by having a strategic approach to partnership.

- Actively participate in the quarterly and weekly meetings and become a SME in Regrow’s Products

- Drive the knowledge you gain from your customer into Regrow’s commercial sales team to help further the collective knowledge and use cases to help Regrow’s overall growth
- Develop strong relationships within Strategic Account and not be single threaded in any key business relationship

- Attend relevant events and customer meetings to grow the relationship
- Exceed annual growth quota in addition to securing renewal

- Demonstrated history of closing multi-year business contracts with large customers
