Job description

Are you an agronomist with 3 years of experience in the agricultural sector? Are you thrilled by the use of data? We’re looking for a motivated individual who is enthusiastic about these different skills and driven by regenerative, low-carbon agriculture.

In this role, the successful candidate will work in pairs to supervise farmers from the Center of France to lead and advise them in their transition.
More specifically, the agronomist will have the following responsibilities:

  • Providing advice on how to improve practices based on the results of the mySoilCapital diagnosis, by submitting a personalized report and discussing with the farmer the potential levers that can be put in place.

  • Focus on data: use our database to enable our agronomic support activities. Be the lead within the team to exploit our dataset in the service of our farmer (reports, dashboards, insights, content shared through our community, etc) and other teams of the company

  • Strengthening relationships with existing customers by becoming the preferred contact for farmers (and our partners, like cooperatives) from the moment they order a mySoilCapital diagnosis through to delivery and beyond.

  • Regular organisation of field events in collaboration with our partners and sales team

  • Support for our data collection team in carrying out mySoilCapital diagnostics

  • Participating in the development of the mySoilCapital tool by gathering feedback from farmers and sharing it internally.


Preferred experience

  • An excellent understanding of the French agricultural sector (especially the Center regions: mainly Centre-Val-de-Loire and Bourgogne-Franche-Comté) and a willingness to learn more about it.

  • Data oriented mindset and skills to manage data sets (Excel and Metabase mainly, R is a plus).

  • Proven ability to model complex systems, with an eye for detail.

  • Positive personality, with the ability to interact easily with others (friendliness in interactions).

  • Critical, problem-solving, results-oriented.

  • Excellent communication skills in French (mother tongue) and English (fluent).

  • Highly motivated and curious about the environmental and social impact of Soil Capital’s core mission.


Recruitment process

In order to find the perfect match, we have set up a comprehensive hiring process to give you the opportunity to get to know all the key contributors to the role. Between each step, you’ll always receive feedback:

  1. People interview (30 min) with Charlotte, Talent Acquisition Specialist, to get to know you more

  2. Hiring lead interview (45 min) with Max (Head of Agronomy) to go much more in depth into the role

  3. Technical interview (1 hour) to evaluate the technical aspects - you will receive more details during the interviews

  4. Last step interview (30 min) with Nicolas, co-founder & farmer

Applications will be accepted until 30rd of June.

Be part of a supportive, dynamic team that celebrates successes together and works toward a shared mission of transforming the future of agriculture!
