Description
Accelerating Appalachia is seeking an experienced Program Director who is passionate about regenerative/conservation agriculture and supporting underserved farmers in Central Appalachia and the Southeastern US.
We are excited to find a proactive collaborator who wants to make a difference by helping a committed, focused team achieve its highest potential.
About Accelerating AppalachiaOur mission is to support resilient, regional production of food, fiber, and forest products, and rebuild vibrant rural communities. Accelerating Appalachia (ACAP) has worked to scale regenerative and equitable agriculture businesses since 2013.
We started as the world's first regenerative agriculture business accelerator and are now working directly with farmers to incentivize and train them to adopt climate-smart agriculture and forestry practices.
In 2023, we launched Building Soil, Building Equity (BSBE), funded by the USDA's Partnership for Climate-Smart Commodities initiative.BSBE will serve hundreds of farmers in eight states in the Central/Southern Appalachian region and rural Southeast. Accelerating Appalachia is the primary grant awardee for BSBE, but we partner with multiple organizations.
About the Role
The Program Director (PD) will coordinate our BSBE program. This initiative empowers farmers to adopt agricultural practices that enhance soil health, mitigate climate change, and promote economic equity.
The PD will play a pivotal role in implementing and managing all aspects of the program, ensuring its success and positive impact.
As a core member of the ACAP team, the PD is a service-oriented problem solver.They support the entire ACAP team and network in the day-to-day operations of the BSBE program, providing hands-on management and leadership to ensure program deliverables are met.
Core ResponsibilitiesCo-execute a comprehensive strategy for the BSBE program in alignment with Accelerating Appalachia's goals and grant outcomes.
Coordinate the recruitment, selection, and onboarding process for program participants.
Provide customer-centric support to program participants, working alongside our core and tech teams to help farmers implement climate-smart, regenerative agriculture practices and navigate challenges.
Establish, maintain, and evolve workflows and processes to ensure optimal performance.
Develop and maintain effective structures for communication and knowledge management that ensure the team and partners have the information required to make decisions effectively.
Support quarterly and annual reporting to the USDA under the BSBE grant, coordinating with all other team members and subawardees to ensure all necessary information is available to submit accurate and timely reports.
Monitor program progress, evaluate outcomes, and identify opportunities for continuous improvement and innovation.
Assist in the development and monitoring of KPIs, ensuring there is accountability throughout the team.
Requirements
About You

You are a natural collaborator, proactive and excited to work with an outstanding team on the details of program building and implementation.
You:
Are able to see the landscape of the program and build upon existing plans for a minimum 5 year project; able to see the whole picture as well as zero in on and attend to details.

Are focused on outcomes, able to continuously assess what is working, what is not, and take corrective action as necessary.

Are a clear and active communicator and listener who is resourceful in finding answers, and able to provide timely support for participants and other stakeholders.
Are familiar with budgeting, have a basic understanding of Quickbooks, and are able to read and understand a P&L statement.
Approach failure as a learning opportunity and are able to implement processes and measures that allow failure to be fast and small.
You have:
A bachelor's degree in the field of agriculture, natural resources, agribusiness, or a related field.
A minimum of 5 years of experience in program management or related roles, with a focus on agriculture and sustainability.

Proficiency in Microsoft Office and Google Suite, and hands-on experience with project management software; familiarity with Airtable and CRM programs is a plus.
ACAP is headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky. This is a hybrid position allowing work from home.
While working hours are flexible, the PD must be reasonably available and responsive to the ACAP team, subawardees, and farmers.
There may be some evening and weekend work from time to time, though this will not be extensive.The PD must be willing and able to travel regularly to meet with farmer participants in the program and attend in-person meetings in Lexington.
Thus, the PD must live in the area covered by the BSBE grant - which is Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and southern OH.
