About the Role

FarmRaise is hiring a Program Manager to own our USDA Farm Service Agency Educational Hub -- the most strategically important initiative in our business. This person ensures the Hub delivers genuine value to producers and the Farm Service Agency (FSA), and leads the work that makes our ongoing collaboration clear and compelling.

This is not a coordinator role. You own outcomes, including:

• Program Execution. Drive the Hub roadmap. Coordinate engineering, content, and partners. Ship deliverables on schedule, every time.

• Producer Experience. Identify gaps in how farmers navigate FSA programs. Fix them. Connect Hub resources to Tracks workflows where it makes producers' lives easier.

• Agency Partnership. Serve as our primary operational contact with FSA. Keep agency partners informed, aligned, and confident in FarmRaise as a long-term collaborator.

• Metrics and Storytelling. Track engagement. Translate usage data into a clear impact narrative. Make the case for ongoing partnership undeniable.

• Program Expansion. Build the evidence. Support the conversation. Help expand the program's reach.
  

You Will:

• Engage directly with FSA stakeholders to gather insights and ensure Hub content remains accurate, relevant, and aligned with current programs and priorities

• Own ongoing content updates within Webflow, including editing and maintaining existing pages

• Build and launch basic, no-code webpages in Webflow to support new Hub resources and workflows

• Review and score farmer coursework associated with FSA loan borrower training

• Own and deliver bi-annual reporting requirements, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and alignment with cooperative agreement expectations

• Learn and utilize JotForm to support Hub content and workflows, including building and managing forms as needed

• Leverage Google Analytics to analyze and report on Hub usage data
  

Comp and Benefits

• Compensation: $120,000-$130,000 per year and equity granted via the company’s employee stock option pool.

• A close-knit, fully remote team with regular pairing sessions and opportunities for connection.

• Excellent benefits including health insurance, co-working stipend, educational stipend, and 401K with full company match.

• Collaboration with product, design, and business teams to build meaningful solutions.

• Spending your time on something that matters, with a team that is passionate about shaping the future of agriculture.
  

About You

You are a builder who moves quickly and cares about agriculture. You have managed complex programs from concept through completion, worked constructively with institutional partners, and held yourself accountable to measurable outcomes.The ideal candidate is eager to jump in and personally construct intake forms and producer-facing workflows using low-code tools to supplement engineering output. Comfortable with Google analytics, low-code tooling, and learning new platforms on the fly, you get energy from figuring things out when no clear roadmap exists and time is limited.

You do not need a government background. You do need the judgment to move at startup speed while treating federal agency partners with the respect and care that relationship deserves. The best candidates have built things, hit targets, and measured their own results. We are looking for someone who came up in an environment where performance was tracked and outcomes were expected.

Backgrounds that tend to produce strong candidates:

• Management or strategy consulting. You have navigated complex client relationships, distilled ambiguous problems into clear action plans, and delivered under deadline. You know how to work with institutional stakeholders without moving at an institutional pace.

• Agricultural technology or agri-business. You have worked inside a fast-moving company that serves farmers, ag retailers, or rural communities. You understand the cadence of agricultural decision-making and what it takes to earn trust in this industry.

• Early-stage startup generalist. You have worn five hats at once, figured things out without a playbook, and delivered in an environment where nobody was going to do it for you.

• Government-adjacent program management in a private context -- a think tank, policy consultancy, or public-private initiative -- is a plus, but only if you moved with urgency and held yourself accountable to real outcomes.

What Success Looks Like

• Days 1 to 14 -- Audit and Align Read the cooperative agreement. Audit the Hub. Map the producer journey through key FSA programs. Meet USDA contacts and establish alignment on priorities. Deliver a prioritized roadmap and release calendar by Day 14.

• Days 15 to 60 -- Execute and Demonstrate Value Close the most critical content and workflow gaps. Launch Hub-to-Tracks connection points. Implement engagement analytics. Deliver a proactive mid-cycle update to FSA partners summarizing progress and upcoming improvements -- before anyone asks for it.

• Days 61 to 90 -- Position for Expansion Compile the impact narrative. Document producer outcomes and program access improvements. Build an expansion proposal with leadership. Support conversations with USDA and ensure nothing is left to chance.

Success at 90 Days

• Expansion conversation active and in alignment with USDA priorities

• Priority content gaps closed

• Hub-to-Tracks engagement improving

• Zero missed cooperative agreement deliverables

• FSA relationship strong, with no unaddressed concerns
  

Why This Role Matters

The FSA Hub helps 80,000 American producers navigate USDA farm programs. For many of them, it is a primary resource for understanding programs that directly affect their livelihood and their land.If this role succeeds, the Hub becomes foundational infrastructure for how America's farmers access federal agricultural support -- and FarmRaise becomes a trusted long-term partner to the agencies that serve them.

We are looking for someone who understands that weight and runs toward it.
