Description
TerraClear applies artificial intelligence, robotics, and world-class mechanical design to solve some of the most data deficient and labor intensive jobs on the farm. These technologies are rapidly transforming agricultural intelligence, allowing farmers to make faster and more informed decisions that translate into highly precise actions and more productive farms. Our first application solved one of the most disliked tasks on the farm: clearing rocks. The annual emergence of news rocks impacts nearly half of farms in North America, slowing farming, damaging equipment, and causing downtime during seeding and harvesting. Solving this problem frees farmers to focus on higher-value tasks and brings their operations into a new era of farming.
Leveraging our commercial success in rocks, we are now expanding our core technologies to new farm applications including the precise management of weeds, pests, disease and overall plant health.
Our team is tight-knit and believes in the power of teamwork. We value learning directly from the farmers we serve, getting our hands dirty, and tackling tough challenges together. You will thrive at TerraClear with a positive attitude, a collaborative mindset, a healthy dose of grit and a passion for solving real-world problems.
Location: Must live near or in Champaign, IL

About this role
TerraClear is building AI and robotics solutions for agriculture, starting with rock clearing and expanding into weed and pest management. As a Regional Account Manager covering western Indiana and central Illinois, you'd be the face of the company in your territory—prospecting new growers and resellers, conducting field meetings, and closing deals on mapping, picking, and autonomous imaging technology. This is a field-heavy role requiring up to three weeks of travel monthly and deep familiarity with how farms actually operate.
You'll need at least five years of territory sales experience with ag retailers or seed dealers, ideally with existing relationships in your assigned region. The work demands strong organizational discipline (the role emphasizes CRM adoption and documentation), genuine comfort with ambiguity in a startup setting, and the ability to position innovative, tech-driven solutions to farmers who may be skeptical of new approaches. Success means understanding customer operations well enough to be a trusted advisor, not just a vendor.
The compensation is $75,000–$90,000 base plus commission, with pre-IPO stock options, full health coverage, and solid PTO. This role suits someone who knows the agricultural sales landscape, thrives on relationship-building, and wants to help solve a real operational problem farmers face every season.
