Edacious is a fast-moving, science-forward technology company on a mission to change how food quality is understood, measured, and valued. We believe that nutrition and safety are inseparable pillars of food quality, and that nutrient density is a critical link between agricultural practices, human health, and long-term system resilience. Our work is focused on making food quality measurable, credible, and actionable.

We operate at the intersection of lab science, software, and storytelling. Through rigorous third-party testing, independent verification of data, and transparent methodologies, we generate trusted nutritional and safety intelligence. We partner with farmers, brands, researchers, and food system leaders to translate that intelligence into decisions that shape products, sourcing strategies, market differentiation, and policy. A core part of our work is helping complex scientific results become clear, usable, and meaningful to consumers without sacrificing rigor or trust.

We are building the nutritional & contaminant intelligence layer for the food system, one that enables credible claims, informed procurement, and better consumer understanding. If we succeed, higher-quality, safer food becomes more transparent, more trusted, and more widely available at scale.

We are a small, values-driven team with deep scientific roots, strong investor backing, and an interdisciplinary approach spanning chemistry, nutrition, data, and systems thinking. You will work alongside scientists, operators, and builders who care deeply about rigor, verification, and long-term impact, and who believe that improving food quality requires both scientific integrity and clear communication.

We are hiring a Senior Sales Lead to help transition Edacious from founder-led sales toward a scalable, disciplined commercial system. This is a senior, hands-on selling role for someone who can close complex, trust-based deals today while helping shape how Edacious sells tomorrow. The Senior Sales Lead serves as a critical bridge between early founder-led motion and a durable commercial organization, with direct responsibility for both revenue and the foundations beneath it.

You will work directly with the CEO at the intersection of science, food systems, and commerce. Your mandate is simple and demanding: sell first, learn deeply, protect delivery integrity, and help build repeatable sales motion before scale. Over time, this role will help transition ownership of mid-market sales while preserving narrative consistency, pricing discipline, and customer outcomes. The goal is not to replace founder involvement overnight, but to make founder-led sales optional as the business matures.

This is not transactional sales, and it is not a role built around inherited playbooks or volume targets. It is a builder role, not a caretaker role, designed for a seller who thrives in ambiguity, exercises strong judgment, and values outcomes over titles. Expanded scope is earned through results, credibility, and the quality of the commercial systems you help create, not through hierarchy or tenure.

This is a rare opportunity to sell a category-defining product rather than a commodity. You will work closely with founders and scientific leaders, helping shape how ideas at the intersection of nutrition, safety, and food quality are translated into compelling commercial value. This role intentionally avoids VP or Director titles at the outset. At Edacious, scale is earned, not declared. As repeatable sales motion emerges and the commercial system matures, this position may evolve into a Head of Sales, Commercial Lead, or Revenue Lead role, driven by demonstrated outcomes and readiness rather than tenure or title.

We read cover letters carefully. They matter to us because this role requires clear thinking, sound judgment, and the ability to communicate complex ideas about food quality, including nutrition and safety, with precision and credibility.

Generic or obviously AI-generated responses will be filtered out. We are not looking for polished language, we are looking for original thinking, real experience, and a grounded point of view. Specific examples, hard tradeoffs, and lessons learned from selling credibility-sensitive products will stand out far more than perfect prose.

If you care deeply about improving how food quality is measured, understood, and valued, tell us why in your own words.
