Sound Agriculture
Why you should join us:
At Sound Agriculture, we are revolutionizing the way the world grows food. Our innovative technology and solutions empower farmers to maximize nutrient efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and feed the world sustainably. Through a deeper understanding of plant and microbial biology, we are leveraging the natural power of plants to make agriculture more agile and resilient. If you’re passionate about cutting-edge science, making a real-world impact, and being part of a team that’s dedicated to transforming agriculture, we want you on our team!
Sound is a Series D startup funded by leading investors in food and agriculture including Leaps by Bayer, Syngenta Group Ventures, S2G Ventures, BMO Impact Investment Fund, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Fall Line Capital, Cavallo Ventures, FootPrint Coalition and Northpond Ventures.
What we're seeking:
Two (2) Senior Commercial Technical Representatives (RTV) in Argentina’s “Corn Belt” — one in the Pergamino area and one between Río Cuarto, Laboulaye, and Venado Tuerto (3–4 days/week in the field).
About Sound Agriculture
Sound Agriculture is a US-based agtech company from the San Francisco Bay Area, developing nature-based solutions that make farming more sustainable and profitable. Our investors include some of the most prominent names in agriculture, such as Bayer and Syngenta. We focus on transforming nutrient use efficiency and improving soil health.
Our flagship product, SOURCE, is a foliar-applied molecule that mimics natural plant signals to activate nitrogen-fixing bacteria and phosphate-solubilizing microbes — increasing the availability of macro and micronutrients in the soil. It’s stable, easy to apply, and fits seamlessly into growers’ existing operations.
SOURCE has already been applied to nearly 1 million hectares in the U.S., consistently delivering ROI and yield gains across crops like corn, soy, and wheat. After four seasons of validation in Argentina we’re now officially launching in the country. With rising fertilizer costs, margin pressure, and a growing demand for technologies that improve nutrient efficiency, we believe Argentina is the ideal place for this innovation to deliver impact — and we’re building the team that will lead that transformation from the ground up.
The Role: Build the Future, From the Ground Up
As a Senior Technical & Commercial RTV, you’ll lead the introduction of SOURCE in Argentina by building deep relationships with large, progressive, and influential growers. You’ll drive early adoption through sales, commercial trials, and hands-on field support — owning the full grower journey from first contact to long-term success.
You’ll also be responsible for identifying and onboarding high-quality distributors, establishing a strong local channel aligned with our standards and long-term vision.
This is a front-line commercial role with full accountability for sales, field performance, and market development. Success requires strong agronomic and commercial skills, deep regional knowledge, and a high level of ownership. You won’t just manage a territory — you’ll create one.

Sobre Sound Agriculture
Sound Agriculture es una empresa Agtech con sede en el área de la Bahía de San Francisco (EE.UU.), que desarrolla soluciones basadas en la naturaleza para contribuir a la Sustentabilidad Agrícola. Entre nuestros inversores se encuentran referentes globales del agro como Bayer Leaps y Syngenta Ventures. Nuestro foco está en transformar la eficiencia del uso de nutrientes y mejorar la salud del suelo. Nuestro producto principal, SOURCE, es una molécula de síntesis química de aplicación foliar que imita señales naturales de las plantas para activar bacterias fijadoras de nitrógeno y microorganismos solubilizadores de fósforo, aumentando así la disponibilidad de macro y micronutrientes en el suelo. Es estable, fácil de aplicar y se integra perfectamente a los esquemas operativos actuales de los productores.
SOURCE ya se aplicó en casi 1 millón de hectáreas en EE.UU., con resultados consistentes en retorno sobre la inversión y aumentos de rinde en cultivos como maíz, soja y trigo. Tras cuatro campañas de validación en Argentina estamos lanzando oficialmente la tecnología en el país. En un contexto de altos costos de fertilizantes, presión sobre márgenes y creciente interés en tecnologías que mejoren la eficiencia nutricional, creemos que Argentina es el lugar ideal para que esta innovación genere impacto — y estamos formando el equipo que liderará esa transformación desde el campo.
El Rol: Construí el futuro desde cero
Como Representante Técnico y Comercial Senior (RTV), liderarás la introducción de SOURCE en Argentina construyendo relaciones sólidas con los productores más importantes de la región. Desarrollarás esta propuesta innovadora mediante ventas, ensayos comerciales y soporte técnico directo — siendo dueño de toda la experiencia del cliente, desde el primer contacto hasta el éxito a largo plazo. También serás responsable de identificar y activar distribuidores estratégicos, desarrollando una red alineada con nuestros estándares y visión a largo plazo. Este es un rol comercial de primera línea, con responsabilidad total sobre ventas, rendimiento en campo y desarrollo de mercado. El éxito requiere experiencia técnica y comercial, profundo conocimiento regional y un alto nivel de autonomía. No vas a heredar un territorio — lo vas a construir.
