Agriculture Sales Professional

Sales Pro with a Purpose

We’re looking for someone who is passionate about cultivating an interest in a more responsible way to grow.

Someone with enough experience in the Agriculture, Lawn & Garden, Horticulture, Soil Media, and/or Fertilizer Industry to know they want to help change it.

**This is a hybrid role and the candidate must live in/near Western Wisconsin, South Eastern Minnesota or Northern Iowa.  Must be local to travel within region.**

Return is a leader in Good-for-the-Earth Growing Supplies that cares deeply about our people, planet, and soil. We provide a viable alternative to synthetic growing products that encourage soil regeneration to help grow healthier food, people, and planet.

We’re rooted in the idea that a diverse workforce, made up of various perspectives, will help us grow as individuals, and as a team. We hope you’ll share your unique variety to help breathe new life into our selves, soil, food and planet.
