Position description
Position Overview
The University of California, Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR) invites applications for a UC Cooperative Extension (UCCE) Area Weed Science Advisor at the Assistant rank serving Sonoma, Napa, and Marin counties.
The Weed Science Advisor will implement an innovative multi-county extension education and applied research program to address weed management challenges in the three-county region, including alternatives to glyphosate, the effectiveness of organic weed control methods, herbicide resistance, air and water quality issues related to weed control practices, and the control of invasive weed species.
UCCE Advisors are responsible for conducting applied research and extending knowledge. Research activities are applied and mission-oriented, focused on addressing challenges in our communities. Extension activities are the educational methods that advisors use to share research results directly with clientele and communities, increasing knowledge and understanding of science-based research that promotes the adoption of practices and technologies to solve local problems. Extension activities may include individual farm consultations, presentations, or organizing educational workshops, short courses, and field demonstrations. Information may also be disseminated through various channels, such as radio, webinars, fact sheets, policy briefs, news blogs, social media, and other outlets. Publications are expected in various formats, including newsletters, popular press articles, curricula, conference proceedings, and peer-reviewed journals.
Successful research and extension programs result in new information that improves knowledge or understanding, and eventual adoption of new skills or practices, changed attitudes or policies, and improved environmental, economic, or social conditions. UCCE Advisors are evaluated through an academic advancement system based on four criteria: 1) extending knowledge, 2) applied research and creative activity, 3) professional competence and activity, and 4) university and public service.
Location Headquarters: This position will be based at the UC Cooperative Extension Office in Sonoma County, located at 133 Aviation Blvd., Santa Rosa, California 95403.
Position Details
Weeds are a critical challenge to the regional productivity of agriculture, pasture, and rangelands, and are responsible for significant production losses, management costs, and labor requirements each year. Growers, ranchers, dairy producers, pest control advisors, and the UC Cooperative Extension network need an Area Weed Science Advisor to provide locally relevant expertise to address production efficiency, crop safety, livestock forage, and environmental issues related to sustainable weed management in the region.
This position will take an integrated approach to weed management, encompassing organic and conventional approaches, while serving a broad range of clientele across multiple cropping systems, pasture, and rangeland. In addition to working across a spectrum of weed management practices, the position will develop expertise and deliver information on related topics, including weed identification, invasive plant management, cover crops, and livestock-crop integration, in collaboration with relevant colleagues. The position will also address aquatic weed identification and management in agricultural water sources, such as irrigation ponds and reservoirs.
The advisor will extend science-based information to clientele who grow grapes, olives, apples, and other orchard crops, a variety of specialty crops, and graze livestock on organic and conventional pastures and rangelands. Key clientele groups include agricultural producers, dairy producers, livestock producers, rangeland managers, Pest Control Advisors (PCAs), Agricultural Commissioner office staff, public resource management agency staff (e.g., Natural Resources Conservation Service, Resource Conservation Districts, Cal Trans, regional parks), and nonprofit conservation organizations. Collaboration with these groups will identify issues and opportunities to extend information through seminars, workshops, field days, internet resources, and publications, both producer-oriented and peer-reviewed.
The advisor will collaborate with other Cooperative Extension Advisors, Specialists, and clientele to conduct applied research that facilitates the broad implementation of integrated weed management programs across diverse agricultural and grazed landscapes. The advisor's research program will utilize a variety of cultural and mechanical controls, along with emerging technologies, to reduce reliance on herbicides as the sole control tool while stewarding the natural resources that are integral to the sustained health of agricultural and rangeland production systems.
In addition to collaborating with UC colleagues, the advisor will work with external networks, including, but not limited to, the Sonoma, Napa, and Marin Weed Management Areas, the Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District, the Napa County Regional Parks and Open Space District, the Napa Land Trust, the Marin Agricultural Land Trust, and private industry.

As we build toward a truly scalable platform, you'll be instrumental in identifying where AI and automation can replace manual work—we're looking for someone who sees AI as a tool to 10x their impact, not a threat.
Our Implementation Managers are the face of Veer in many ways. They set the tone for the customer relationship and overall success of the product and must provide confident leadership throughout the process.
What you'll do
Project management/leadership
- Serve as day-to-day contact and project manager for enterprise implementations, coordinating across multiple customer stakeholders and internal teams.
- Develop and manage detailed project plans in collaboration with customers and engineering, ensuring on-time delivery.
- Lead implementation kickoff meetings, serving as a change management guide to establish clear goals, set expectations on scope, timeline, responsibilities, and effectively frame the value proposition to drive user adoption.
- Manage multiple active implementations and projects spanning a variety of use-cases, complexity, and customer team size
- Keep key customer stakeholders informed of major milestones, risks, and decisions. Proactively communicate delays or challenges, managing expectations, and aligning on mitigation plans.
- Act as a strategic consultant, guiding customers to the best solutions within the defined project scope to ensure their core business needs are met without compromising delivery milestones.
- Navigate complex organizational structures at large employers, building relationships with leave of absence and disability program managers, IT teams, legal counsel, and executive sponsors.
Leave program expertise
- Demonstrate deep understanding of leave of absence and disability programs—including FMLA, state leave laws (CA, NY, WA, etc.), STD/LTD, and employer-specific policies.
- Gather and document customer requirements, translating customer-specific leave policies and business rules into clear specifications for design and engineering teams.
- Advise customers on best practices for leave experience design and product set-up and configuration.
- Stay up to date on federal, state, and local leave law changes and industry trends, proactively advising customers and internal product teams on potential impacts and necessary product adaptations.
Product configuration & design
- Partner with design team to create mockups and prototypes that reflect the customer's desired employee and administrator experience.
- Lead customer review sessions to refine the product experience and gather feedback that drives product improvements and customer success.
- Balance customer customization requests with product scalability considerations.
Technical coordination
- Work with engineering on product integrations with HRIS systems, benefits administration systems, and third-party administrators.
- Work with product management on customer requests for new features.
- Collaborate with product and engineering teams to identify implementation steps that can be automated or enhanced with AI, building toward a more scalable platform.
- Develop customer UAT test cases and facilitate UAT prior to launch.
- Troubleshoot implementation issues and serve as liaison between customers and technical teams.
Customer enablement
- Design and execute a structured customer communications and enablement playbook to ensure the successful transition from the customer's current state to the post launch future state.
- Create and deliver tailored enablement content.
- Support internal champions at the customer organization to stimulate adoption.
- Host live training sessions or webinars for customer teams and users.
- Formalize the handoff to Customer Success by partnering to create a comprehensive \"Success Plan\" that outlines the customer's business goals, key stakeholders, unique configurations, and potential areas for future growth.
In your first year, you'll:
- Successfully lead 3-5 enterprise implementations from kickoff to launch
- Identify and implement AI-driven automation opportunities that reduce implementation time by 20%+ (e.g., automated requirement gathering, documentation generation, testing scripts, customer communication)
- Build repeatable processes and documentation that reduce engineering dependency over time
- Become a trusted advisor to customer stakeholders on leave program strategy
- Identify product gaps and advocate for improvements based on customer feedback
- Help us scale the implementation function by mentoring future team members
What we are looking for (required)
- 5+ years of experience in enterprise software implementation, project management, or a customer-facing advisory/consulting role in a fast-paced B2B SaaS company
- Enthusiastic about leveraging AI tools to automate repetitive work, scale implementations, and enhance the customer experience. You're constantly asking \"how can we do this faster/better with AI?\" rather than defaulting to manual processes.
- Strong understanding of employee leave and disability policies and programs (STD/LTD, FMLA, state disability, parental and family leave, etc.) and the HR/benefits landscape
- Proven ability to manage and strategically consult on complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise projects with competing priorities
- Excellent communication skills—you can translate between technical and non-technical audiences, effectively advising and influencing senior business stakeholders
- Comfortable working in ambiguous, fast-moving environments where you'll need to build processes from scratch
- Technical aptitude and ability to work closely with engineering teams on integrations and product configuration
Bonus skills
- Direct experience with leave administration, benefits program management, or HRIS implementations
- Familiarity with third-party administrators like Sedgwick, Lincoln, or MetLife
- Experience at an early-stage software company during rapid scaling
- Background in HR technology, specifically absence management, case management, or workflow automation platforms
