Business Development Manager

About Leptex

Leptex builds personal intelligence for farmers and independent businesses, helping them connect products with buyers while keeping people in control of their information and decisions.

About the role

Find agricultural supply, build partnerships, and use Leptex to turn produce into completed sales. This is a full-time, on-site role in the United States, involving work at farms, supplier locations, and buyer sites as needed.

Compensation: Cash compensation and any variable-pay arrangements have not yet been determined. Compensation, any applicable benefits, and any commission or bonus terms will be agreed in writing before work begins.

What you'll do

• Find supply: Identify farms, producers, and available batches of agricultural products that match buyer demand.
• Meet partners: Visit potential suppliers to understand their products, selling needs, and cooperation expectations.
• Verify the goods: Confirm product quality, quantities, prices, selling windows, and fulfillment conditions before proposing an offer.
• Agree on terms: Negotiate within approved limits and clarify sales authorization, payment, fulfillment, and after-sales responsibilities.
• Prepare sales on Leptex: Turn merchant-approved product information and buying conditions into clear offers on the platform.
• Develop buyer channels: Connect with relevant buyers, communities, and referral partners through appropriate outreach.
• Test the opportunity: Run a small, approved sales plan and use actual orders to decide whether to expand it.
• Follow through on orders: Coordinate payment confirmation, fulfillment handoffs, and buyer questions with the responsible merchant.
• Build repeat business: Review completed sales, refunds, and feedback to improve the next offer and sustain cooperation.
• Work effectively with AI: Use AI for research, proposals, and records while checking facts and protecting confidential information.

What we're looking for

• Learning ability: You quickly understand unfamiliar products, supply arrangements, buyer needs, and tools.
• Initiative: You find useful leads, start conversations, and turn opportunities into practical action.
• Relationship building: You earn trust with suppliers, buyers, and partners through reliable communication and follow-up.
• Commercial communication: You can negotiate in English, explain terms clearly, and stay within your authority.
• Product judgment: You recognize which questions about quality, availability, and timing need verification.
• Execution: You can move a partnership from an introduction through an approved offer to actual sales.
• Channel understanding: You know how to reach suitable buyers and test demand for a particular product.
• AI tool fluency: You use AI to work faster and check its output before sharing it.
• Organization: You keep accurate partner, product, and order records and distinguish interest from completed sales.
• Evidence of ability: No particular degree or minimum years of experience are required; show relevant practical results.

How we measure success

Sales: Paid and fulfilled orders and net product sales after refunds.

Fulfillment: On-time fulfillment, cancellation, and refund rates.

Repeat business: Repeat buyers, repeat-purchase rates, and continued supply partnerships.
