Wildlife Technology – Client Services
- We are looking for a sales associate with a passion for wildlife and the ability to connect with our diverse range of customers. In this role, you’ll handle customer inquiries, prepare quotes, troubleshoot technical issues, and help clients select the right solutions for their wildlife conflicts.
This posting requires a cover letter. Please read and follow all application instructions at the bottom of this posting. Applications that do not meet the requirements will not be considered.
Do you want to save the world (or at least the wildlife in it) and get in at the ground floor of a growing environmental technology leader? Our expanding in-house product line is attracting global attention, and we need your help to connect these products with the customers who need them.
We’ve been around since 1980 providing solutions to some of the most challenging wildlife conservation problems. If it involves wildlife and technology, we are there. Airports, government agencies, farmers, and industrial groups rely on us to conserve wildlife and prevent damage to people and property. Our technology helps people and wildlife live together.
We look for people with intelligence, initiative, and judgment in all positions – the intelligence to recognize a problem or opportunity, the initiative to address it, and the judgment to know the best way forward. Our people thrive in a high-performance culture and enjoy a diversity of work.
About the Role
We are open to a variety of experiences for this position. At minimum, you have a connection and passion for wildlife. Candidates with a background as a biologist or with wildlife experience will be more likely to be considered for this position.
- You take incoming customer leads from multiple regions and determine the appropriate level of service.
- You are able to acquire the knowledge to answer basic customer inquiries and take customer orders in a timely manner.
- You are able to identify the service required, the value of a potential sale, and direct the lead to the appropriate person.
- You can prepare quotations and follow up with customers.
- You make an effort to understand the mechanical and technical function of our products and provide recommendations and troubleshooting by phone and email.
- You can professionally communicate to customers in writing and through the phone.
Who You Are:
- Social Chameleon: Whether you are speaking to an organic farmer or a corporate buyer, you know how to create a connection. You adjust what information you provide and how you say it to cater to your audience.
- Sweat the Small Stuff: You understand that a successful sale does not just happen. Going from a lead to delivered products requires a chain of events that must happen according to plan.
- Generalist with a Passion for Learning: You apply your general knowledge to a specific challenge, consuming critical information along the way.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree, preferably in environmental science or a related field.
- Past experience in a customer-facing role in the environmental, outdoors, agricultural, or resource extraction industries. Wildlife experience is strongly preferred and will be reflected by a higher starting wage.
- Microsoft Office (Word, Excel)

- Familiar with varying requirements of international, wholesale, government, business, and retail sales.
- Ability to clearly communicate technical information in written and verbal communication skills.
- Demonstrated organizational ability.
