• Data Collection: Conduct precise phenotyping assessments using Seed-X’s proprietary mobile software.
• Data Management: Process, clean, and structure phenotypical data to support ongoing AI training and algorithm development.
• Order Administration: Oversee the administrative pipeline for new customer orders, ensuring accurate data entry, thorough documentation, and seamless internal coordination.

Sales & Market Development

• Territory Growth: Develop and execute a localized sales strategy to introduce Seed-X’s AI-powered solutions to major seed companies and vegetable breeders in the region.
• Lead Generation: Proactively identify, target, and pitch new business opportunities to generate revenue and expand our market footprint.

Mindset: A positive, proactive, and highly responsible attitude with a strong willingness to learn complex technical workflows.

Industry Expertise (Strong Plus): Direct exposure to or experience within the vegetable seed industry (e.g., seed sales, crop protection, breeding support) or the broader AgTech sector is a significant advantage.

Tech Savviness: Comfortable working with new software and AI data tools; ability to conceptually understand and pitch a highly technical, data-driven product rather than a traditional agricultural commodity.

Communication: Excellent interpersonal skills with the confidence to interface directly with growers, plant breeders, and corporate stakeholders.
