What We Are Looking For

Arable is seeking a Customer Success Manager to support growers and agricultural partners throughout Southern California.

This role is responsible for the overall customer experience—from initial implementation and field installation through training, ongoing support, product adoption, and long-term relationship management. You will work closely with customers to understand their operations, help them get meaningful value from Arable’s technology, and ensure they have a knowledgeable and responsive partner throughout the relationship.

The ideal candidate combines practical agricultural knowledge, customer success experience, technical aptitude, and strong relationship-building skills. You should be comfortable working in the field, discussing irrigation and crop-management practices, and communicating confidently with growers, farm managers, consultants, and project partners.

What We Do

At Arable, our mission is to connect the world’s farms to optimize the global food system.

As agriculture faces the dual challenge of feeding a growing population while conserving natural resources, we provide the data and insights that help farmers use water more efficiently and make better-informed crop-management decisions.

By digitizing the analog world, we empower producers to improve productivity, protect water resources, and strengthen resilience across their operations.

You will manage the customer relationship across the full lifecycle, including implementation, onboarding, training, field support, ongoing adoption, and issue resolution. You will also help customers interpret Arable’s data and understand how it can support better irrigation, crop-management, and operational decisions.

Many of the projects you support may involve multiple stakeholders, including growers, farm managers, consultants, irrigation specialists, commercial partners, and other organizations. You will need to build credibility across these groups, communicate clearly, and serve as a dependable resource who can help move projects forward.

This is a hands-on, field-oriented role that combines customer success, agricultural expertise, technical support, and relationship management.
