About FarmRaise
FarmRaise builds tools that power the future of agricultural program management. Our platform helps agricultural organizations—from government agencies to grower networks—streamline enrollment, track data, report impact, and disburse payments to farmers. We're trusted by partners across the federal government, university extensions, cooperatives, food companies, and state/local agencies.

About the Role
We’re looking for a traction-driven Sales Development Representative to join our growing team. As the founding SDR at FarmRaise, you’ll be on the front lines of our sales efforts for our program management solution—researching prospects, initiating conversations, and qualifying leads across four high-impact customer segments:

• Government agencies administering farmer-facing funding programs

• Cooperative Extension and university-led ag research programs

• Food companies managing grower and supplier networks

• Nonprofit and for-profit organizations running on-farm grant or incentive programs
  

This is a great opportunity for someone who’s hungry to grow in SaaS sales, loves agriculture, and wants to help organizations better serve farmers.

The expectation for this role is to grow into an Account Executive in under one year.

What You’ll Do

• Identify and research prospective customers using tools like ZoomInfo and LinkedIn

• Craft and send thoughtful, high-converting outbound emails and LinkedIn messages

• Manage outreach sequences and lead activity in Salesloft

• Qualify leads through discovery calls and email exchanges, booking meetings and demos for sales leadership

• Collaborate closely with marketing and sales to iterate on messaging, refine ICP targeting, and test outreach strategies

• Keep CRM (Salesforce) up to date with lead status and notes
  

Who You Are

• You have 1-2 years of experience in a quota-carrying, outbound B2B SaaS sales position (Bonus points for Agtech and/or selling into public institutions)

• You’re a clear communicator who writes tight, persuasive messages

• You’re organized, self-motivated, and not afraid to cold outreach

• You’re comfortable picking up the phone and making cold calls to start meaningful conversations

• You can manage multi-touch, multi-channel outbound sequences across email, LinkedIn, phone, and more

• You thrive in fast-moving environments and can navigate ambiguity with confidence

• You’re a self-starter who brings initiative, not just execution

• You bring proven workflows and outbound tactics from previous roles—and you’re ready to iterate and improve them here

• You’re curious about customer problems and enjoy digging into the details

Bonus Points For

• Familiarity with government funding programs, food supply chains, or agricultural extension systems

• Experience using Salesloft, ZoomInfo, and Salesforce

• Background in agriculture or Agtech
