What if nature could be harnessed to help farmers sustainably feed the planet? Since 2014, Indigo has questioned agriculture's full value chain to improve grower profitability, environmental sustainability, and consumer health. The company’s scientific discoveries and digital innovations have amplified new value from soil to sale, benefiting more than 10,000 growers to date. Indigo is also the company behind The Terraton Initiative, a global effort to drawdown one trillion tons of atmospheric carbon dioxide by unlocking the potential of agricultural soils. In 2019, Indigo was ranked #1 on CNBC’s Disruptor 50 list. Headquartered in Boston, MA, Indigo has additional offices in Memphis, TN; Research Triangle Park, NC; Sydney, Australia; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Basel, Switzerland; and São Paulo, Brazil.

At Indigo, our mission is: harnessing nature to help farmers sustainably feed the planet. We started down this path leveraging microbiology, but we have quickly expanded across the entire agriculture supply chain.

Indigo Carbon and the broader Terraton Initiative is the most explicit expression of our sustainability goals yet. Our goal is to remove 1 trillion tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, sequester it in agricultural soils, and by doing that, improve the health of the soil, the profitability of farmers, the quality of our food, and the health of our planet. This goal is massive, and it will require a diverse team to make it happen. If you’ve been looking for a company that moves at the speed of Silicon Valley and is explicitly taking on climate change, we’d love to hear from you.

The Carbon Market Development Lead will be responsible for leading all aspects of growth strategy with strategic partners in Indigo Carbon’s priority industry segments (e.g., Tech, Utilities, Transportation, Logistics, etc.). They will lead co-solutioning with leadership teams in the world’s largest institutions (companies, NGOs, governments) to help them achieve their sustainability goals and advance the most affordable, scalable, and immediate climate change solution today. They will own top line revenue generation and manage deal profitability as well as be primary contributors to developing Indigo Carbon’s enterprise product offerings, working across the company and partner coalitions to translate customer needs and market data into product features and deal terms. They should have prior experience managing a team through complex solution development that requires financial modeling, multi-stakeholder project management, and superior story telling through visual and verbal communication.

The role will report to the Director of Carbon Product and Business Development.

The company is headquartered in Boston, MA, with additional offices in Memphis, TN, Research Triangle Park, NC, Sydney, Australia, Buenos Aires, Argentina, and São Paulo, Brazil. www.indigoag.com
