DTN is seeking an experienced, consultative Senior Sales Engineer, Agriculture to support complex enterprise software sales and drive growth across our Agriculture business.

In this role, you will partner with executive, commercial, and technical stakeholders at grain companies, cooperatives, agricultural retailers, input manufacturers, and other agribusinesses to understand business challenges, develop solution strategies, and demonstrate the value of DTN's agriculture technology and market intelligence solutions.

Agribusinesses operate in complex markets shaped by price and basis volatility, weather, logistics constraints, and evolving sustainability requirements. You will help customers address these challenges through the DTN Ag Hub platform, including Grain Intelligence, Grain Discovery, and Farm Intelligence, while connecting our data, analytics, and technology capabilities to measurable business outcomes.

The ideal candidate combines strong commercial acumen, consultative discovery, technical expertise, and compelling storytelling skills. You will serve as a trusted advisor, helping customers navigate complex purchasing decisions while building confidence in the path from solution selection through implementation and adoption.

What You Will Be Responsible For

• Lead executive and operational discovery sessions with merchandising, origination, agronomy, sales, and sustainability leaders to understand business processes, challenges, priorities, risks, success measures, desired outcomes, and the cost of inaction.
• 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.
• Lead solution mapping, discovery workshops, tailored product demonstrations, pilots, technical validations, and responses to requests for information and proposals (RFx).
• 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.
• Strong discovery and problem-solving skills, technical curiosity, and the ability to navigate complex customer organizations and business requirements.
