About Nectar
A third of the world's crop production depends on honeybee pollination, yet beekeepers lose 40% of their hives each year. To be part of the solution, our team's mission is to provide beekeepers and growers with the data-driven tools needed to raise thriving honeybee colonies.
We believe that the technology being built by our team - including AI models - will lead to a future where pollinators are considered an essential factor in feeding our planet.
With our digital hive management system BeeTrack, Nectar’s goal is to equip commercial migratory beekeepers with technologies that enable them to make data-driven decisions to raise healthier bees to secure our food supply.
About the position
Reporting to the Head of Sales and Customer Success, the Sales Representative (SRep) main responsibility is to sell Nectar's products and services.
Why are we looking for a Sales Representative?
Our digital hive management system, BeeTrack, is increasingly gaining traction among commercial beekeepers in North America. As such, we seek to significantly expand our customer base and transition from early adopters into the main market users. To accomplish this, the sales representative will work closely with different stakeholders within commercial beekeeping companies to understand their needs and connect those needs to the value delivered by BeeTrack.
