Descripción del empleo

About Us

We’re a small team focused on strengthening how people manage farms, food businesses and food systems. Our work combines learning, collaboration and hands on tools for people moving from extractive to regenerative models in farming, food production, hospitality and their surrounding ecosystems. Our backgrounds are mixed from agriculture, design, education, software to food. And so is our approach. We pay attention to what’s actually happening on the ground. How a kitchen reuses food waste, how a farmer adjusts irrigation, how a cooperative handles change. We build programs and tools that help people navigate those shifts with care and purpose.

The Role

You’ll design and support transformation efforts across the agrifood system. That includes:

• Small and mid sized farms
• Food processing operations
• Restaurants, hotels and HORECA professionals
• Public and private food service institutions

You’ll join a small team working on learning journeys, site based collaborations and strategic support. We don’t offer one size fits all answers and we don’t work top down. Most of what we do is cocreated with the people directly involved.

This is a role for someone who understands how systems change happens. Not in theory/textbooks but in kitchens, fields and rooms where real decisions get made.

What You’ll Do

• Design and guide processes that support a shift to more circular, sustainable operations
• Work with farmers, chefs, managers and food teams to rethink how they source, produce and manage
• Develop practical materials (maps, frameworks, tools) that people can use and adapt
• Bring grounded, live insights into policy conversations and networks
• Stay close to the field and keep our work practical, useful and honest

Who You Might Be

You might be early in your career and driven by deep curiosity. Or you may bring years of experience and be looking to apply your skills in more grounded, meaningful ways. Either way, you're someone who pays attention, works with care and thinks about the bigger picture.

We imagine you have experience in one or more of the following:

• Agriculture or regenerative farming
• Food processing or industrial kitchen operations
• Restaurant, hospitality or HORECA management
• Food systems research, policy or strategy
• System thinking and agility

And also:

• You’ve supported teams through change. Especially toward more sustainable or community rooted practices
• You’re thoughtful, clear in your communication and comfortable with complexity
• You’re independent, but collaborative and value working in small, diverse teams
• You care about food, people and place and how they connect

What We Offer

• We offer a competitive salary based on experience and local context. We’re open about how we set rates and aim for fairness across roles.
• We work across time zones and sites so flexibility is part of how we operate. You’ll have autonomy to shape your schedule while staying connected to the team and the work.
• Whether it’s on a farm, in a kitchen or with a cooperative, you’ll spend time in real places, working with real people.
• We’re a tight group where everyone has a voice. You’ll help shape the direction of the work.
• We approach learning as part of the job. Through collaborations, site visits and projects, you’ll keep growing alongside others doing the same.
• If you're looking for depth this is a place to do work that matters.

No perfect CV needed. If this sounds like the kind of work you want to be part of practical and rooted in impactful change we’d love to hear from you. @ruralpm
