Company description

Founded in 2014, Dirt Capital Partners invests in farmland in partnership with best-in-class regenerative farmers throughout the United States, supporting land access, farm viability, and ecological stewardship. We work alongside beginning and established farmers through tailored land tenure arrangements, including leases with paths to ownership, and provide hands-on support across the life of each partnership.

All funds are "impact-first" with priority focus on capital preservation while achieving impact outcomes across four core themes: (1) Ecological Stewardship; (2) Farmer Equity; (3) Community Benefits; (4) Field-Building. Our 10+ year track record includes 52 farmland investments across 24,000+ acres of land; 25 agricultural conservation easements sold or in process; 15 project exits to farmers; and zero write-downs. We measure our work not just in returns but in farmers secured on land, acres under regenerative management, and operations built to last.

Job description

The Farmer Services Associate is a central point of contact for the farmers in our portfolio, working to ensure their operational and financial success throughout our partnership. Building on existing relationships and cultivating new ones, this role supports farmers in our portfolio with property management, anticipates challenges before they escalate, and connects farmers to the resources, programs, and people that strengthen their businesses. The position works as a trusted liaison between Dirt Capital and our farmer partners, and brings deep, practical farming knowledge to every conversation.

This role carries two complementary responsibilities. The first is relationship and farm advisory work: earning farmers' trust, understanding the realities of working land, and being a partner to farmers navigating toward ownership of the farm property. The second is data and portfolio management: owning assigned impact and operational data workstreams, interpreting trends, and translating those insights into portfolio recommendations. Success in the role means doing both well, and translating fluidly between the operational world of the farm and the structuring, reporting, and portfolio management needs of the fund.

This role will:
• Serve as a primary point of contact and trusted liaison for a portfolio of farmer partners, building durable relationships grounded in mutual respect and a shared understanding of farming.
• Lead quarterly portfolio calls with farmer partners, prioritize follow-up, and conduct more frequent calls as needed on a per-project basis.
• Conduct evaluative on-site visits as part of due diligence on prospective farm projects, and annual visits to established partners to assess operational performance, regenerative practices, property conditions, and opportunities for follow-up recommendations.
• Act as a thought partner to farmers as issues arise, working through budgets and cash flow while drawing on a real understanding of market dynamics and on-the-ground production to help operators think through options.
• Collect, organize, and maintain impact and operational data across the portfolio, working in close partnership with team members to ensure the accuracy, consistency, and timeliness of that data for reporting and portfolio management.
• Conduct due diligence on prospective projects by interpreting farmers' impact questionnaires, leading calls with potential farm partners to understand their business, and compiling initial impact assessments, drawing on knowledge of regenerative practices across production types and geographies.
• Attending farmer-focused conferences and present on Dirt Capital's model.
• Connect farmers to USDA programs, technical assistance providers, and peer networks.
• Help farmers interpret and navigate their lease terms in line with Dirt Capital's approach and support them through a successful purchase and exit from the Dirt Capital portfolio.
• Contribute farmer stories that support impact reporting and investor communications.
