  • Partner with Marketing to build campaigns that support enrollment goals and seasonal themes (calving, drought, grazing rotations, soil sampling windows, etc.).
  • Operate as a “communications SME” bridging science and practice: Work with internal soil/carbon/science experts to ensure accuracy and credibility.
  • Create plain-language explainers on soil carbon, sampling, verification, additionality, permanence, MRV, and outcomes.
  • Support webinars, podcasts, speaking engagements, and conference presentations.
  • Maintain a consistent brand voice that is rancher-respectful, practical, non-political, and evidence-based.
  • Assist in identifying and supporting grants and funding opportunities relevant to ranchers and regenerative transition.
  • Contribute to grant narrative development, rancher-facing program summaries, impact statements, and supporting materials.
  • Coordinate with partnerships/operations to help ranchers access resources (technical assistance, cost-share programs, education).
  • Attend select rancher events, producer meetings, conferences, and “field days” to capture stories, build trust, and strengthen community.
  • Support regional pods/Inside team with messaging, event materials, and partner enablement content.
