Role description
PlantistaDo you talk to your monstera like it's a coworker? Do you also low-key love a good CRM, a clean dashboard, and watching a pipeline fill up? Most people pick one. We're looking for the rare human who's both.
Plantista is the leading AI platform helping garden centers and landscape design firms scale their hard-won horticultural expertise — turning the in-store plant genius into something that can serve thousands of customers at once. We're growing fast, and we've been featured in
Nasdaq
,
Retail Brew
, and
Women in Tech
. Now we need someone to help us put Plantista in the hands of the people who'll love it most.
This is a
3-month contract role reporting directly to the founder
— and it's built to become more. You'll own outreach, run point at the two biggest events of our year, and have a direct hand in hitting clear, ambitious targets for new garden center and landscape firm subscribers. Crush it over these three months, and there's a clear path to joining the team full-time. The upside here is real — for the right person, this is a ground-floor seat at a startup that's just getting off the ground.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Hit the road for our two must-attend industry events:
Cultivate '26 in Columbus, OH (July 11–14)
and the
Garden Center Conference & Expo 2026 in Nashville (Aug 18–20)
— meeting prospects face-to-face, demoing the product, and building the relationships that close. - Between events, run the engine: own sales outreach end-to-end, build and work a pipeline of garden centers and landscape design firms, and partner closely with the founder to hit clear subscriber goals.
- Get creative with how we reach people — new channels, new angles, new ways to tell the Plantista story.
- Use data to know what's working: track your funnel, learn from it, and double down on what converts.
WHO YOU ARE
- You know and love plants.
Some horticulture background is a must — you can hold your own talking shop with a grower or a garden center owner. - You love people.
You light up in a room full of strangers and leave with a pocket full of new connections. - You love tech and what it can do.
You're genuinely excited about how AI can scale expertise, and you can make that excitement contagious. - You're a creative, self-starting, data-driven hunter.
Outgoing, resourceful, and energized by clear goals and the freedom to go hit them.
BIG PLUS
Hands-on experience as a
grower, landscaper, or in a garden center
. If you've sold plants, grown plants, or designed landscapes — and you've ever wished there was a better way to share what you know — you'll get this product instantly.
WHY THIS IS A BIG OPPORTUNITY
This is a high-upside contract role at a fast-moving startup with momentum, press, and a product the industry is hungry for — with a real shot at a full-time seat at the end of three months. You'll work directly with the founder, see your impact in real numbers, and grow as we grow. Competitive hourly pay, uncapped commission, and potential equity for the right person.
