- Translate customer needs into comprehensive solution strategies aligned with DTN Ag Hub capabilities, business priorities, and realistic implementation and adoption paths.
- Position DTN's Agriculture platform and identify cross-sell opportunities across established DTN solutions, including Grain Intelligence, Grain Discovery, and Farm Intelligence.

- Communicate compelling business value and return on investment (ROI), including origination growth, margin protection, grower engagement and retention, sales productivity, and sustainability program readiness.
- Deliver effective presentations and value-based recommendations to executive, operational, and technical audiences, translating complex data, analytics, and market intelligence into practical business outcomes.
- Partner closely with Account Executives throughout complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles to advance new business and customer expansion opportunities.
- Collaborate with Product Management, Product Marketing, Engineering, Professional Services, and Customer Success to align solution recommendations with product capabilities and customer expectations.
- Support competitive evaluations, identify product gaps and potential implementation risks, and contribute technical and business expertise to proposals and pricing discussions.
- Facilitate successful transitions from sales to delivery and customer adoption, ensuring stakeholders understand solution capabilities, implementation considerations, and expected outcomes.
- Build trusted advisor relationships with grain buyers, cooperatives, agricultural retailers, input manufacturers, and other agribusiness customers while contributing insights that support DTN's product direction and Agriculture business growth.
What You Will Bring to the Position
- 5+ years of experience in Sales Engineering, Solution Consulting, Presales, or Technical Consulting supporting enterprise software sales.
- Demonstrated success leading executive-level discovery, business-process discussions, and complex sales engagements involving multiple stakeholders.
- Strong presentation and storytelling skills, with the ability to challenge customer assumptions, teach for value, and connect business insights to measurable outcomes.
- Experience with enterprise SaaS, analytics, business or market intelligence, or decision-support solutions.
- Proven ability to collaborate across Sales, Product Management, Engineering, and delivery teams to support complex customer opportunities.
- Strong commercial acumen and the ability to influence stakeholders without direct authority in dynamic, fast-moving enterprise environments.
- Consultative, business-outcome-focused approach to solution selling, with the ability to balance customer objectives against realistic implementation and adoption considerations.
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to engage confidently with executives, merchandisers, originators, and sales teams.
