    MAD CAPITAL IS HIRING!

    Mad Capital is a Boulder Colorado based company established to accelerate the regenerative and organic revolution in agriculture! Mad Capital is working to impact 10M acres of regenerative and organic farmland by providing farmers with strategic financial products and resources.

    • WHY IT MATTERS - Through our reliance on industrial and extractive agricultural practices, we've systematically degraded ecosystems and created many of the largest challenges humanity has ever faced, from declining soil fertility, and dwindling rural wealth, to biodiversity loss, and climate change—and we're running out of time to fix it.
    • WHY REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE - Regenerative organic agriculture is a system of farming principles and practices that focuses on maximizing the health of soil, people, and ecosystems. It takes a living systems approach, working with nature, rather than against it, and it actually isn't new. Forward-thinking farmers have been using many of these practices for decades, but they need support if we're really serious about turning this thing around. 
    • WHY MAD CAPITAL - The idea of Mad Capital started in 2018 with the team developing, launching, and deploying a first-of-its-kind regenerative and organic agriculture investment fund. Today we're a nimble, well-capitalized team composed of exceptional individuals and dreamers supported by the broader Mad Agriculture family, our network of partners, advisors, mentors, investors, friends, and a growing community of like-minded folks working to build better agricultural systems around the world.

    JOIN US!

    We don't have time to mess around! To curb the current use—and reverse the legacy—of industrial and extractive agricultural practices, we need to direct billions of dollars into the regenerative organic space as soon as possible. We need ambitious, creative, and empathetic people like you to get this done. With this need in mind, we have an amazing opportunity for an experienced Commercial Credit Analyst to join the revolution in agriculture!

    As a key member of Mad Capital's Credit team, you will be responsible for broad-based analysis and servicing of a variety of different types of commercial loans for regenerative organic farmers.

    WHAT THIS MEANS

    • WORK WITH PURPOSE - This is an opportunity to make a deep impact and meaningfully contribute to the growth of a thriving organization in the business of helping regenerative organic farmers. For most of us, work is one of the largest time commitments we will ever make. In joining Mad Capital, you'll find a team of smart and caring professionals invested in building something bigger than themselves.
    • GENEROUS COMPENSATION - You work hard and will be compensated for it. The expected salary range for this role is $60K - $90K per year. Mad Capital determines a candidate's compensation package throughout the interview process based on experience, expertise, and other factors and the final compensation package will be discussed with you during the interview process.
    • COMPANY OWNERSHIP - You will share in the company's success. All full-time compensation plans include a meaningful ownership stake in the company in the form of stock options.

    • REQUIRED TIME OFF - Employees are expected to take all bank holidays off and are required to take at least 1 week of mandatory vacation per quarter. We're very flexible, but we've found that a minimum requirement helps ensure folks take much-deserved time for themselves.
