About the Role:

Bowery Farming is seeking an Experimental Coordinator to join the R&D Operations team. This role will be the daily link between Farm Operations and Agricultural Scientists for Bowery Farming’s R&D farms. Working closely with the Team Leads & Supervisors, this individual will interpret experimental requests into actionable workflows and look for opportunities to improve the day-to-day operation through process improvement and compliance workflows.
