In this role, you will lead, coach, and manage a team of Commercial Agronomists to ensure consistent field execution, clear accountability, and measurable progress against regional agronomy and commercial priorities.

You will apply technical depth and commercial awareness to evaluate opportunities, guide decisions, and support regionally relevant outcomes. You will connect scientific understanding with business context to communicate clear, credible recommendations to varied audiences. You will use data, research, and technology fluency to strengthen decision quality and reinforce confidence in agronomic recommendations.
You will integrate multiple inputs to diagnose ambiguous agronomic, customer, and commercial issues and determine practical paths forward.

You will operate with broad discretion in setting priorities, allocating effort, and shaping decisions that affect regional performance. You will build trust with internal and external stakeholders by communicating clearly, following through, and adapting messages to audience needs.
