Ocean Rainforest is seeking a driven and mission-aligned Sales Lead to spearhead the commercialization of our seaweed-based biostimulant products across California’s high-value agricultural sectors—including strawberries, wine grapes, avocados, and almonds.
With a base at our pilot processing facility in Santa Barbara and active collaboration with our Ensenada, Mexico production hub, you will play a central role in expanding our U.S. market footprint and building trusted relationships with growers, agronomists, and distribution partners.
?? Key Responsibilities
- Drive B2B sales of seaweed-derived biostimulants to farmers, cooperatives, and distributors in California.
- Develop and execute regional go-to-market strategies and grower engagement campaigns.
- Conduct product trials, demos, and technical support in collaboration with our R&D and agronomy teams.
- Maintain strong relationships with processing operations in Ensenada and coordinate logistics and supply chain activities.
- Identify new market opportunities, customer needs, and feedback to inform product development.
? What We're Looking For
- 3+ years of experience in agricultural input sales (biostimulants, biofertilizers, crop protection, or biologicals preferred).
- Strong network among California specialty crop growers and/or ag distributors.
- Knowledge of soil health, plant nutrition, or regenerative agriculture.
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
- Spanish proficiency is a strong plus.
- Willingness to travel across California and occasionally to Mexico.
?? Why Ocean Rainforest?
We are a pioneering force in sustainable ocean farming and regenerative agriculture. Our biostimulant products are derived from cultivated seaweed—not wild harvest—and are designed to help farmers reduce chemical inputs while improving crop resilience and soil health.
This is an opportunity to shape the future of regenerative agriculture and blue economy solutions—while working with a passionate international team from California to Mexico to Europe.
