ABOUT THE ELECTRIC PLANT CO. The Electric Plant Co. is building a new category of plant and tree intelligence. Our IoT hardware measures the hidden electrical signals in plants and trees, paired with environmental data, and our foundation model decodes those signals into real-time insights about plant health, growth, and stress. We're a small, fast-moving company in San Francisco working at the intersection of biology, hardware, AI, and IoT. We closed our seed round in November 2025 and our first commercial deployment launches in August. THE ROLE We're hiring our first Deployment Lead to shape early pilots and scale to real, repeatable deployments: standing up our first customer deployments, owning the relationship with the customer's leadership, translating plant intelligence into business value, and helping develop the playbook that scales us from the first deployments to thousands and then millions of connected plants. Our go-to-market is forward-deployed, embedding alongside our customers to co-build the working solution in the field. The ideal person has founded or helped build an AgTech company and has personally deployed technology with real agricultural customers. You'll work directly with our CEO on the first deployments and have a genuine hand in shaping how this entire motion gets built. Our Deployment Lead will be based out of our San Francisco HQ, but there will be significant travel. If you're entrepreneurial, fluent in both the agriculture and the business, and energized by making powerful-but-early technology actually work in the field, this role is in the sweet spot. WHAT YOU’LL DO - Own our first customer deployments from kickoff through value realization. This isn't a simple handoff from sales. You're the person responsible for making the deployment work in the field and for the customer. - Build trusted relationships with customer leadership, especially CEOs, owners, presidents, and operators running large agricultural businesses. - Translate plant intelligence into business value: irrigation decisions, operating changes, ROI, expansion opportunities, and the concrete outcomes the customer will actually act on. - Orchestrate the deployment team across field engineering, agronomy, customer operations, and product; make sure the work flows as one system instead of separate functions. - Work shoulder-to-shoulder with our CEO on the first deployments, then help turn that founder-led motion into a repeatable deployment playbook. - Be the customer-facing power user of Foundry, our software platform, and a key source of feedback as the engineering evolves our toolkit. - Help define what a successful deployment looks like: what gets installed, what gets measured, what gets validated, what gets reported, and what earns the customer's trust. - Turn messy field learning into repeatable process: checklists, SOPs, customer rhythms, internal feedback loops, and deployment practices that make the next deployment faster and better. - Look opportunistically for where the system can deliver more value: new use cases, new insights, new sites, new workflows, and new ways the model can improve through deployment. - Support the development of deployment processes, tools, and operating practices that make future deployments more effective. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR - You have personally deployed a technical product with real agricultural customers. Not just sold it, not just supported it from a distance — you have made early technology work in the field. - Agriculture or horticulture business fluency. You do not need to be a scientist; we have agronomy and science expertise for that. But you need to be credible with an owner or operator and understand how agricultural businesses make decisions. - Entrepreneurial, build-from-scratch instincts. You are comfortable with ambiguity, unfinished systems, biological variability, and customers who need value before the playbook exists. - Stron
