We think you’ll appreciate our focus on Conscious Capitalism, which drives business decisions that benefit all our stakeholders (leading to even better business results). You might be drawn to our innovative approach and refusal to settle for the “way things have always been done.” Or you could find it exciting to grow your skills while working for an industry-leading brand. Whether you’re into our values, our brand, or our egg-cellent puns, we hope you’ll join our Crew and help us change the world 108 square feet at a time!
Vital Farms is looking for a committed Farm Support Coordinator who’s passionate about helping our farmers be as effective, efficient, and profitable as they can be. We’re looking for that special someone who is dedicated to the well-being of the animals in our care, and who is fiercely committed to improving the lives of everyone they work with.
If that sounds like something you care about, too, let’s talk about how you can make a difference as a Farm Support Coordinator!
Working collaboratively as the liaison between Vital Farms and our expanding network of Farmers, you’ll be using performance data to guide Farmers on best practices, ensuring they meet our rigorous guidelines in animal welfare, including but not limited to proper nutrition, sanitation, pasture rotation, temperature regulations, and more. Ultimately, the role of the Farm Support Coordinator is to be there for our farmers, supporting them as different questions and situations arise. You’re also there to hold them accountable, helping them understand what adjustments need to be made so they can be more productive, more profitable, and always audit-ready.
Organized, detail-oriented, and extremely personable with excellent communication skills, you know how to bring out the best in the people around you, turning every situation into a win-win for everyone. That’s because you’re proactive about getting to know the details and backgrounds of the Farmers you work with, understanding where they’re coming from and what they’re struggling with, so you can help them find different ways to achieve better outcomes.
What You'll Do
- Become an expert on Vital Farms’ standards to ensure that all animal welfare standards are maintained
- Collaborate with Farmers to get ahead of consumption issues, mortality, thin shells, yolk colors, and any other critical issues that could impact our Growers
- Listen to Farmer’s needs and concerns and diplomatically solve challenges
- Communicate daily with our Farmer Support team, staying in close contact with other crew members to learn and share best practices
- Travel to different farms as necessary to support different Farmers

- Knowledge of poultry industry & Certified Humane standards preferred
- You bring a big ol’ helping of passion for ethically-sourced, nutritious food and purpose-driven brands
- Able to analyze data and draw conclusions which lead to action
- Able to set goals and work diligently to accomplish them

- You give a sh*t. About the animals. About relationships. About keeping things real. You believe in acting like an owner and making Vital Farms a place to be proud of.
- You hold yourself to the highest standards and you strive to improve yourself and others each and every day.
- You can walk in someone else’s boots – You seek to understand other’s viewpoints and think that you get to better answers by sitting on the same side of the table.
- Honest conversations don’t ruffle your feathers and you don’t walk on eggshells. If you see something in the organization that can be improved, you’re not afraid to speak up and you expect your colleagues to do the same.
What We Bring to the Table
- A fast-paced, energetic, remote environment with passionate people who are leading a movement to bring ethically produced food to the table
