Enterprise Product Manager, Location 360 Imagery Team - Creve Coeur, MO 

         

PURPOSE

 

The mission of Bayer Crop Science is centered on developing agricultural solutions for a sustainable future that will include a global population projected to eclipse 9.6 billion by 2050. We approach agriculture holistically, looking across a broad range of solutions from using biotechnology and plant breeding to produce the best possible seeds, to advanced predictive and prescriptive analytics designed to select the best possible crop system for every acre.

 

To make this possible, Bayer collects terabytes of data across all aspects of its operations, from genome sequencing, crop field trials, manufacturing, supply chain, financial transactions and everything in between. There is an enormous need and potential here to do something that has never been done before. We need great people to help transform these complex scientific datasets into innovative software that is deployed across the pipeline, accelerating the pace and quality of all crop system development decisions to unbelievable levels.

 

In our Location 360 team we believe that the location of things, and the relationships between them in time and space, are of fundamental importance to creating transformational digital products. We are passionate about enabling teams to seamlessly incorporate spatial and location data into their applications, analyses, operations, and models. We do this by ingesting and stewarding much of the location-related data for Bayer Crop Science, by integrating models that enrich that data, and by building platforms and interfaces that make it easy for teams to integrate that data into their work.
