We’re an international agtech startup pioneering an ambitious mission in a budding industry where agriculture meets technology. Through the use of data-driven insights, natural microbiology, and innovative digital technologies, Indigo is partnering across the supply chain, ultimately cultivating a scalable climate solution and enhanced ecosystem that beneficially serves farmers, consumers, and the planet alike.

Our mission is unique, and therefore our teams are too: from multigenerational farming experts who understand the land as though it were an extension of themselves, to cutting-edge technologists and scientists on the frontier of innovation, our teams are a reflection of the range of the stakeholders we serve: the Earth, the Farmer, and the Consumer. We are building Indigo on a bedrock of diversity.  We celebrate individuality and believe in bringing our genuine self to work every day. We deeply value collaboration informed by kindness and personal accountability.

Indigo is a high growth innovative agriculture company based in Boston.  We have an extraordinary opportunity to help farmers harness nature to feed the planet in a sustainable manner. The Carbon business at Indigo is at the forefront of the agricultural carbon market and building the first scalable, rigorous carbon credit opportunity for farmers — benefiting both to our planet and to the rural communities that feed us.

How do we work?

We are not perfect. In fact, we are learning from trial and error every day.  We try new things, take risks, make educated guesses, and move quickly. We learn from our users directly and make data-driven decisions. We aren’t dogmatic, but we believe in the tenets of agile development.  Excellent communication and collaboration skills are a must.

Today, our Carbon by Indigo platform supports farmers in 27 states across the US to enroll in Carbon, change their farming practice, enter data required to generate carbon credits, and get paid for the credits they earn. In this role as Director of Expansion, Carbon Product, you will own the end-to-end user journey for our carbon product for entering new geographies (outside of the US), and new crops, farming practices, & offers that fundamentally alter our current user journey in the US. You will collaborate closely with our Carbon Offering team to build and prioritize our expansion roadmap and then work closely with our other product leads to execute against that roadmap. This role will have significant influence over the overall Carbon Technology roadmap. Initially, you will be an individual contributor, directing the work of other quads.
