Sales Manager

This is a FoodLabs portfolio venture. You can find out more about us and other opportunities in our portfolio _here_. _ **About the Venture** At Voltrac, we’re on a mission to strengthen Europe’s food security and defence with a modular platform. The platform has been developed and is currently being tested at vineyards such as Bodegas Nodus. You will be Voltrac’s first dedicated commercial hire, working with the founders and owning the full sales funnel for Spain’s agricultural market. From prospecting to signing pre-orders and purchase agreements. Your mandate: convert early interest into the paid deployments that will shape European farming. If you’re driven by curiosity, thrive on solving complex problems with like-minded peers, and are focused on creating fast-paced lasting impact, this is the place for you. **Who We Are** Voltrac was founded by Francisco Infante Aguirre and Thomas Hubregtsen. Francisco grew up in the family-owned Aguirre Maquinaria Agrícola designing and building tractor implements, after which he worked for Airbus, BMW, Volocopter and Destinus. Thomas gained experience building Machine Learning systems at BMW, Google X and IBM, and previously started San Francisco-based startup Extropic. Together, they set their sights on shaking up the agricultural world, increasing the yield and revenue of farmers. A year later, they came out of stealth revealing to the world their vehicle, the initial 2M investment by Antler and Foodlabs, and the team behind the creation of the vehicle. Pre-orders are now open for the civil market. **About the Role** Your work will span from initial approach to sales completion, as well as post-sales support. You’ll perform and collaborate closely with experts across R&D, manufacturing, and quality assurance to ensure our solutions are not only innovative but also on time and meet customers expectations. More concretely, you will: - Build the sales pipeline: Identify high‑value growers, co‑operatives and contractors in viticulture, orchards and high‑value row crops; manage outreach and qualification. - Run on‑farm demos & pilots: Coordinate tractor trials, translate technical performance into economic ROI, and capture feedback for engineering. - Close deals: Structure pre‑order contracts, financing and service bundles. - Shape go‑to‑market: Segment Spanish regions, refine buyer personas, and influence marketing collateral, events and digital campaigns. - Partner & scale: Set up local dealer and service‑partner agreements that ensure “boots‑on‑the‑ground” support as the fleet grows. - Inform product & strategy: Report market intelligence (competitors and subsidy schemes) directly to the founders. **What we Value** - Proven equipment sales track record, 3‑7 years selling agricultural machinery, industrial vehicles, or advanced ag‑tech solutions. - Network in Spanish agriculture, existing relationships with growers, co‑ops, input suppliers or dealers. - Technical curiosity and the ability to explain electrification, autonomy, and total‑cost‑of‑ownership in plain farmer terms. - Self‑starter, comfortable operating with little structure, travelling >50 % of the time across Spain. - Native-level Spanish and ideally professional English. **What We Offer** Voltrac is founded in Valencia - consistently voted as one of Europe’s top places to live based on its low cost of living, excellent climate, and vibrant historic centre. We offer competitive base salary and stock, aid in relocation, and sales bonuses. Most importantly, we want to offer perks that are important to you. We'd love to hear what you value
