Innovators empowering innovators.

Here at Benson Hill, we’re driving a new movement. A movement to modernize the food system to bring more delicious, nutritious food to the world’s growing population – all while protecting the planet we call home.

What makes this goal possible? Innovative thinkers and doers like you. We’re looking for people who are passionate about plant science, big data analytics and bringing the best out of teams. Join us to unlock the genetic potential of plants so we can grow crops that are better for people and the planet.

What’s it like to work here?

Our team comes from a broad range of disciplines and backgrounds. We’re a multinational, multidisciplinary team from fields like genealogy, biology, data analysis, software development and more – all working together to modernize the world’s food system to deliver products that are healthier, tastier and friendlier to the Earth.

Benson Hill provides endless opportunity for new learning, improving food and agriculture via multiple scientific avenues. Colleagues are hard-working, dedicated, and so much fun - like family. What a great place to call work in an environment of excitement and purpose!

Working at Benson Hill means taking on new challenges and opportunities every day. I joined Benson Hill as a plant biochemist and molecular biologist, and my day-to-day work has expanded to include intellectual property, funding opportunities, and project management.

There is an energy and spirit at Benson Hill that makes it easy to come to work each morning. We are all motivated by our work and being a part of a larger purpose, the future of food and agriculture.

One of the most rewarding aspects of working at Benson Hill is seeing my ideas and hard work translate into meaningful progress towards a more sustainable food system. At Benson Hill, I don’t feel like a small cog in a big machine, but a valued member of a team working towards a common goal.

Benson Hill is continuously achieving milestones on a regular basis. I feel privileged to be working with talented colleagues from different technical backgrounds to tackle global challenges with the potential of transforming our future food system.

As a team member at Benson Hill, I am inspired by the ambitious goals the company continues to set, meet, and surpass in crop sciences. It is a privilege to come in each day, working alongside our dedicated and brilliant scientists, to make these goals a reality and to support a more sustainable food supply.
