(Atlantic) Produce in the Park is seeking to hire a farmers market manager.
According to the press release, applicants must have marketing skills, event promotion, and a passion for the community. This part-time position manages Produce in the Park’s weekly summer farmers market on Thursday evenings in Atlantic City Park and the four-holiday farmers market just before Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and Easter.
Produce in the Park Farmers’ Market does not just focus on local food and craft vendors; the events create community by offering activities and entertainment for people of all ages. While knowledge of local food and business management skills are preferred, the market manager will be primarily responsible for marketing and promoting the farmer’s markets through social media, radio, and print media, as well as vendor and sponsor recruitment and scheduling market activities and entertainment.
In this part-time position, the market manager must be on-site in Atlantic at all farmers’ markets from setup through clean-up, while market preparation work can be done off-site on a flexible schedule. The position requires approximately 20 hours a week from mid-May through mid-October and about 5-10 hours a week in the off-season. The position is expected to pay $15-20 dollars per hour, depending on experience. Produce in the Park is a non-profit organization, and the market manager will report to a board of directors who set market policies and deadlines.
