Applied to farmland with the right evidence, that char is a carbon removal product in its own right. It generates verified biochar credits, and early trials show promising results on soil moisture and nutrients. Every tonne that reaches a field with proper documentation is carbon removal revenue delivered.\nAs Biochar Market Development Manager, you'll be Charm's biochar seller on the ground in Colorado, and the first dedicated owner of moving char. This role is onsite in Fort Lupton, with regular travel around Colorado, as well as Kansas, Texas, and Louisiana, where Charm operates. You'll build a book of growers, ranchers, co-ops, composters, soil blenders, and other large agriculturally adjacent offtakes. You'll get char applied and documented to carbon-registry standards, and help farmers tap USDA cost-share programs that pay for application. You'll service live offtakes with regular farmer touchpoints and collaborate on field trials with customers and Charm's Materials Science & Engineering team that turn early customers into references. You'll translate our char specs for buyers and bring their needs back to our materials team; you explain the science, you don't have to lead it.\nThis role reports to Harris Cohn, Chief Revenue Officer.\nYour Responsibilities\nOwn char offtake: place 100% of available Fort Lupton biochar into applications on schedule, and build forward demand that stays ahead of our production ramp\nGenerate demand across our primary channels: growers and ranchers, co-ops, NRCS-funded projects, anaerobic digestion facilities, compost and soil-amendment blenders, and small-volume specialty buyers\nPlan and source biochar offtakes in new Charm geographies in collaboration with the Charm Development team. \nService live offtakes on a steady cadence : regular buyer touchpoints from signed agreement through application and results\nEnsure every tonne converts to verified carbon removal: purchase agreements, application affidavits, and evidence collection meeting carbon-registry requirements (Isometric Biochar Storage in Soil Environments). A tonne delivered without documentation is a tonne we can't credit\nHelp buyers fund adoption: guide farmers through NRCS EQIP cost-share (practice codes 336/590) and state or water-district grant programs, and coordinate with Technical Service Providers and county extension\nTranslate char specs for customers using our product data sheets and field guides, and carry customer needs back to the materials science team\nBe the voice of our Biochar customersCoordinate farmer-led field trials and demonstrations, show up at application, work with Charm Materials Science and Engineering to capture agronomic results (soil moisture, yield, soil carbon)\nConvert early adopters into references and repeat buyers\nEducate buyers on safe handling (moisture management, dust control, etc.), and work with plant operations on delivery scheduling and load logistics\nFeed pricing, demand, channel, and objection data back to the biochar, sales, and MRV teams, and document the regional playbook so we can hire the next reps from it\n\nYour Bring\n2-5 years of field or territory sales experience, ideally selling to farmers, ranchers, or agricultural businesses (inputs, amendments, equipment, feed, or services)\nCredibility with ag buyers: you're comfortable on a farm, at a co-op counter, and at a county extension meeting\nDiscipline with CRM, documentation, and follow-through: application evidence and affidavits are part of every sale here, not an afterthought\nAbility to explain a technical product simply and honestly, and judgment about when to pull in your technical team\nCommercial judgment: you can work a flexible price toward a goal without giving the market away\nAbility to prioritize responsibilities and comfort with multi-tasking in a fast-paced, ever-changing, ambiguous environment\nValid driver's license and expectation of 50% travel\nBonus, if You Bring\nWorking knowledge of NRCS/EQIP cost-share programs, conservation practice standards, or experience as/with a Technical Service Provider\nAgronomy background or hands-on farming/ranching experience\nExperience selling soil amendments, compost, fertilizer, or other bulk agricultural products. \nFamiliarity with carbon markets, MRV, or sustainability reporting\nExperience with bulk material logistics (trucking, spreading, storage) or handling of combustible bulk materials\nSpanish
