Colorado State University’s Wheat Breeding and Genetics Program has become a cornerstone of Colorado agriculture, developing wheat varieties over the past 60 years that now make up 85% of the wheat grown in the state. These successful varieties generate about $1.81 million annually for CSU — more than any other university intellectual property — with much of the revenue reinvested into research. The program’s roots trace back to the late 1800s and Defiance wheat, a hardy variety developed by Ainsworth Blount, CSU’s first agriculture professor, that thrived in Colorado’s difficult growing conditions and gained widespread attention.

The Colorado Grain Chain (CGC) is at an exciting inflection point. We're growing our membership network across Colorado while simultaneously launching a major new initiative: a statewide supply chain mapping project in partnership with The Climate Source designed to identify gaps and opportunities across Colorado's grain economy.

We're looking for one exceptional person to help us do both.

This role combines two deeply connected areas of work: building and supporting CGC's membership community, and coordinating the stakeholder outreach, listening sessions, and project logistics that will shape the future of grain in Colorado. Because both functions draw on the same network of farmers, millers, makers, and food system partners, we designed this role for someone who wants to be at the center of everything CGC is building right now.

If you're organized, people-oriented, curious about Colorado's food and grain landscape, and energized by work that is both relationship-driven and project-based, this could be a great fit. This position reports directly to the Executive Director.

To apply, please submit the following documents:
● Cover Letter
● Resume
● References (2-3)
References will not be contacted until the final stages of the hiring process.

Email your application materials to hiring@coloradograinchain.com with the subject line “Application -
