Job description

Austin, Texas or Fort Worth, Colorado

Cattle marketing and Fund Operations Associate (BRD-007)

Join the team behind the precision livestock network, helping over 6,500 farmers and ranchers manage over 2 million cattle worldwide. You'll build and run campaigns that make farmers, ranchers, and supply chains sit up and take notice of Breedr, shaping how the industry thinks about livestock data and turning complex products into messaging that producers understand. You'll need sharp marketing instincts, a real feel for how farmers think and what they actually read, and the appetite to build something from nothing rather than inherit a machine already running.
