Make an Impact. Support Agriculture. Lead a Team.
Do you enjoy helping others succeed, solving problems, and making a difference in your community? Are you passionate about agriculture and interested in a role where your communication and leadership skills truly matter?
Join the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA) as an Enumerator Coach and help support the people who collect the agricultural data our nation depends on.
As an Enumerator Coach, you will lead and support a team of up to 20 Enumerators, helping them confidently complete agricultural surveys with accuracy, professionalism, and consistency. Your guidance will play an important role in ensuring farmers, ranchers, rural communities, and agricultural leaders have access to reliable information they can trust.
This is more than a coaching position-it's an opportunity to lead, teach, problem-solve, and contribute to the future of American agriculture.

Lead and mentor others as you coach a team of Enumerators.
Build valuable professional skills in leadership, communication, training, and problem-solving.
Work independently while staying connected to a supportive team.
Stay connected to agriculture and the farmers, ranchers, and rural communities we serve.
Enjoy competitive pay and a positive work environment.
Develop skills and experience that can support your long-term career growth.
