Role

We're looking for a business development analyst to be the bridge between our work and the world that funds and uses it. You'll turn our research and technology into grants, partnerships, and proposals and bring the field's real needs back into our product and research priorities.

This is a high-ownership role for someone who can read a technical document, understand what matters, and translate it for a grant reviewer, an agronomy director, or a foundation program officer. You don't need a science degree, but you need to be genuinely curious about regenerative agriculture and comfortable working alongside both researchers and AI tools.

Grant writing & non-dilutive funding

Identify and track grant opportunities, Thai innovation programs (NSTDA, BOI, NIA), regional agri-innovation funds, climate and sustainability grants, and foundation and development-bank programs.
Write and assemble competitive proposals, pulling research, trial data, and impact narratives into reviewer-ready documents.
Manage submission calendars, eligibility, co-applicants, and post-award reporting.

Agribusiness & partner development

Work with agribusinesses, input distributors, and large growers to scope exactly what information, trial data, or product specs they need, and route that back to our team as clear briefs.
Build proposals, one-pagers, and ROI models that connect our products to a partner's economics (yield, input cost, crop value).
Support trial partnerships with universities and commercial growers: coordinate protocols, data collection, and follow-up.

Non-profits, associations & cooperatives

Develop relationships with farmer cooperatives, grower associations, and agricultural NGOs to extend our work to more farmers.
Package research and protocols into accessible formats for these audiences without losing rigor.

Plus, given our direction, this role can grow into the following:

AI & product translation: help shape how our diagnostic and knowledge tools reach farmers and partners and feed real-world needs back into product development.
Market & competitive intelligence: track competitor products, claims, and pricing; help us position based on evidence rather than marketing.
Regulatory liaison support: help navigate Thai and regional registration pathways and assemble dossiers.
Impact & climate-finance angle: develop the carbon, soil-health, and sustainability stories that open ESG and climate funding.
Investment & partnership readiness: help build the data, impact metrics, and partnership track record that support future fundraising or strategic partnerships.
Opportunity pipeline management: maintain a living pipeline of grants, partners, and proposals, and help prioritize where the company spends its business-development energy.

Profile

Requirements

2-5 years in business development, grant writing, agribusiness, agtech, development/NGO programs, or technical consulting (strong recent graduates with the right aptitude considered).
Excellent written English; Thai fluency strongly preferred (regional languages a plus).
Ability to read technical material and translate it for non-technical and funder audiences.
Strong project management: you can run multiple deadlines and partners without dropping threads.
Comfort with numbers: simple ROI models, reading trial results, summarizing data.
Comfortable using AI tools in day-to-day work.
Genuine interest in regenerative agriculture, soil health, and sustainability.

Nice to Have

Background in agronomy, agricultural economics, environmental science, or a related field.
Existing relationships with Thai/SEA cooperatives, universities, agribusinesses, or funding bodies.
Experience with grant-management or CRM tools.
