Summit Search Group has been retained by Seed Source Inc. to recruit a Regional Sales Manager to help lead the business through its next phase of growth.
This is a senior, hands-on leadership role within a well-established, family-owned agricultural organization known for strong producer relationships, quality products, and a reputation built on trust.
This opportunity is well suited to an experienced ag sales professional—whether from seed, crop inputs, equipment, or another ag-related sector—who has built strong relationships with farmers and understands how to grow a business in a relationship-driven market.
The Organization:
Seed Source Inc. has been a trusted name in Saskatchewan agriculture since 1998, originally operating as Slind Seed Group. What began as a seed-focused operation has grown into a diversified and progressive ag retail business built on strong local relationships, technical expertise, and customer-focused service.
Today, Seed Source works primarily with Saskatchewan producers, retailing and wholesaling pedigree bulk seed cereals and specialty crops. Beyond seed, the business also supplies high-quality gluten-free ingredients to milling customers, supporting food manufacturers and consumers with dietary restrictions through consistent, traceable, and quality-driven supply.
Seed Source offers a full suite of agronomy and crop input services, including in-season crop scouting, variable-rate (VR) mapping, fertility recommendations, crop protection solutions, seed treatments, and professional seed conditioning. This integrated approach allows customers to manage their cropping decisions efficiently with support from a single, knowledgeable team.
The company operates as part of a broader agricultural group that includes seed farms, logistics, and innovative agronomy services. This close connection between production, retail, and delivery enables quick response times, consistent quality control, and reliable support for Saskatchewan growers and value-added customers.
The Role:
The Regional Sales Manager will be responsible for leading and growing Seed Source’s bulk seed, chemical, and agronomy services business. Working closely with the General Manager and ownership, this individual will help shape sales strategy, deepen customer and partner relationships, and actively contribute to the day-to-day success of the business.
This role is ideal for a commercially minded ag professional with a strong network in the farming community, experience managing key accounts or broker relationships, and the ability to balance strategic thinking with a hands-on approach—especially during peak seasons.
Responsibilities:
- Lead and execute sales strategies across bulk seed, crop protection, and agronomy services.
- Build and maintain strong relationships with growers, wholesale customers, and key accounts through regular farm visits.
- Manage and grow existing accounts while identifying opportunities to expand market share.
- Analyze crop plans, market trends, and customer needs to forecast demand and guide sales decisions.
- Collaborate with operations and procurement to ensure inventory alignment and timely delivery.
- Negotiate pricing and service agreements with customers.
- Provide leadership, mentorship, and support to the sales and operations team.
- Represent Seed Source at industry events, trade shows, and customer meetings.
- Remain hands-on during busy seasons, including coordinating deliveries and assisting with loading seed when required.
- Over time, potentially take on broader people leadership or operational responsibilities based on interest and capability.
Qualifications:
- 8+ years of experience in agricultural sales or a related ag industry (seed, crop inputs, equipment, ag services, or similar)
- A proven track record of selling to farmers and maintaining long-term producer relationships
- Strong understanding of agricultural production cycles and the Saskatchewan ag landscape.
- Exposure to crop protection and agronomy services; formal agronomy background is an asset, but not required.
- Proven leadership experience with the ability to motivate and support a team.
- Strong communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
- A solid reputation and credibility within the agricultural community.
- P. Ag or CCA designation is preferred but not required.
- Valid driver’s license and willingness to travel locally.
- A humble, team-oriented mindset and willingness to be hands-on when needed.
This is an opportunity to step into a trusted, relationship-based ag business where quality, integrity, and long-term partnerships matter. The successful candidate will have meaningful influence, work closely with ownership, and help guide a respected seed business through its next phase of growth.
