Territory sales manager Jobs in Melfort, SK

Summit Search Group has been retained by Seed Source Inc. to recruit a 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 high‑quality bulk seed, agronomy expertise, and trusted producer relationships.

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.

Seed Source 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 throughout the growing season.

The Role :

The 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 develop sales strategy, strengthen customer relationships, support the sales team, and remain actively involved in day‑to‑day operations—particularly during peak seasons.

This role is ideal for a commercially minded ag professional who combines strong leadership with credibility in the field and a willingness to pitch in alongside the team.

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 :

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.
