Aquaria’s mission is to safeguard and unlock a sustainable future for clean water.
Aquaria has created proprietary technology that harvests clean water from the air for entire communities. We envision a future where Aquaria can sustainably supply entire cities with energy from the sun and water from the air.
Disruptions to clean water access are among the main ways we suffer from the effects of climate change, and access to clean water remains one of the most pressing global challenges. Today, more than 2 billion people lack access to safely managed drinking water services, and this problem is worsening.
Aquaria is backed by top Silicon Valley investors, including Softbank Mistletoe, Soma Capital, Bow Capital, Ciri Ventures, HF0, and former House Majority Leader Dick Gephardt. Aquaria was part of the 2023 Fast Co. World Changing Company of the Year award in multiple categories.
Position Overview
The Field Sales Manager is a frontline sales leader directly responsible for the performance, development, and culture of Aquaria’s door-to-door team (Setters). This role is 100% sales-focused: driving activity, coaching reps, developing talent, and ensuring quality appointments for our Closing team.
If you thrive in a competitive, quota-driven environment—and you know how to build and motivate a field sales team—this is the opportunity to leave your footprint on a category-defining company.
NOTE: This is not an operations, logistics, or back-office role.
It is a pure sales leadership position focused on people, performance, and activity.
At Aquaria, we’re builders—of products, of teams, and of a long-term mission. As a Field Sales Manager, you won’t just run a team; you’ll help build a category-defining company.
We value Consistency Over Intensity: steady, disciplined effort that compounds into results. We expect High-Agency Action from our leaders—people who take ownership, move decisively, and empower their teams. We Lead From the Front, working in the field alongside reps, doing the hard things first and modeling what great looks like.
We operate with a Growth Mindset and Humble Confidence: we test, learn, stay coachable, and believe deeply in our ability to win. And we hold a high bar for Integrity & Accountability—we do what we say we’ll do, and we own our results.
We use door-to-door as a strategy, but we are not a hype shop. We’re building a professional, world-class sales organization with real training, real standards, and real career paths for people who want to do meaningful work and build long-term wealth.
