Gro Intelligence is changing the way the world understands agriculture.

Our flagship product, Clews, normalizes and contextualizes billions of data points—from supply, demand and trade to scientific environmental data—into one subscription based software that’s beautifully designed and easy to use, even for a non-expert. And our weekly Insight articles ignite debate and discussion amongst thousands of decision makers and thinkers relevant to the sector.

We’re a quickly-growing global team of agriculture, design, and technology lovers who believe that good agricultural data, like any other form of good infrastructure, helps societies thrive.

And we’re constantly looking for new ways and new formats to tell stories related to what we believe is the most important sector in the world.

We’re looking for someone who can identify and effectively tell such stories and who can take complex data points and craft them into a story that's relatable to all. We want someone who thinks critically and creatively, has strong writing, research and editing skills, and is eager to learn from and collaborate with the agricultural geeks on our team.

Responsibilities include:
● Writing pieces for the weekly Insights series
● Writing shorter-form agricultural analysis pieces
● Editing written content as needed
● Keeping abreast of industry-related news

● Ability to work collaboratively with team members across functional roles
● A self-starter, ability to work independently against tight deadlines
● An independent thinker
● Strongly detail- oriented
● Ability to work in a fast-paced, demanding, entrepreneurial startup where you can grow exponentially
