Requisition Number: GRANT001078
May 28, 2025
Full Time
~' '~to~' '~Ardmore, OK 73401, USA
SALARY RANGE: $58,550-$73,190 (education and experience factor into salary and could exceed the max of the range) - At Noble, we believe the health of soil, plants, animals, and humans is one and indivisible. We believe in rebuilding healthy soils and helping producers maintain a strong bottom line. Through these two actions, we can transform degraded grazing lands across the United States, benefiting the environment and society as a whole.
Our focus is to guide farmers and ranchers in applying regenerative principles, to the nation’s 164 million acres of grazing lands, that yield healthier soil, more productive grazing land, and business success. This monumental undertaking requires thousands of producers across the U.S. to overcome significant barriers and change their current practices to work with nature, not against it.
The development team serves as the philanthropic engine of our organization, driving the support that makes our mission possible. We are the bridge connecting generous partners with transformative work—ensuring that the discoveries made by our researchers and the knowledge shared through our outreach and education efforts have the resources they need to reach farmers, ranchers, and communities. Our work is grounded in a shared commitment to land stewardship and rural prosperity. We seek out innovative ways to cultivate support, build lasting relationships, and inspire investment in a future where land is left better at sunset than it was at sunrise. Education is key for transformation, and the development team plays a critical role in expanding its reach and impact.
