Instructional Designer

About the position

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 help farmers and ranchers apply regenerative ranching principles to the nation's 654 million acres of grazing lands. 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. Our education program is at the heart of our mission. It is the glue that connects our internal research discoveries and outreach activities. We live to find new ways to generate usable information so farmers and ranchers can leave their land better at sunset than at sunrise. Our education program is the inflection point for transformation. Education has always been a part of who we are, but we know new opportunities exist for us to expand our reach. So, do you want to join us? We are looking for an Instructional Designer.
