Role Purpose

As an Accountability Coach, you will coach six groups of growth-oriented farm business owners through our three-year Platinum Mastermind Program. Your role is to help members stay focused, take action, and achieve meaningful progress in their business and personal development.

This is a coaching role built on consistency, care, and accountability. You’ll guide members through the challenges of running a farm business – helping them build clarity, confidence, and capability along the way.

You’ll be part of a collaborative coaching team, reporting to the Head Coach, and contributing to a culture of continuous improvement and exceptional member experience.

Our Platinum Mastermind Program focuses on skills advancement in:

• Financial literacy – budgeting, benchmarking, and decision analysis
• Business planning and strategic development
• Leadership – communication, people management, and negotiation
• Mindset and self-development
• Time management and personal productivity
• Entrepreneurship and business systems
• Farm operational efficiency and performance
• Marketing – market development and expansion

Training: You don’t need to arrive knowing our coaching approach. We’ll teach you. Before you take on your first group, you’ll complete 4 to 8 weeks of onboarding.

You’ll start in mid to late January 2027 with onboarding and join our February events. You’ll take on your first two groups at the end of March, then add two more in July and two in October. By the end of your first year, you’ll be coaching six groups.
