Company description

Grapevine is growing! Fully remote W2 position, 4 day workweek, part-time or full-time based on your availability.

We are:

• Inclusive & anti-racist
• Listeners, creators, & collaborators
• Joyful in our work
• Committed to helping small farms grow
• Super productive
• We’ve served over 100 clients since our launch in 2016 with a strong record of referrals and client testimonials.

It is our sincere intention to make Grapevine a triumphant enterprise for everyone involved. Read more in the full job post, and check out insights from our team about what it’s like to work at Grapevine. 

Most of our clients are small family farms, food hubs, and other local food businesses who need our help building their image, being found online, and increasing their sales. We also serve local food non-profits, government agencies, and partner-based initiatives with more communication-oriented needs (think buy-local campaigns, farm to school, state food charters, etc.).

We’re a tiny, efficient team, so each of us works directly with clients, and there’s much less division of labor than you would find in a typical agency.

Job description

RESPONSIBILITIES
This position takes ownership of client websites, client email/SMS marketing, and client relationships, with a focus on Shopify and Klaviyo.

• Execute Shopify and Klaviyo projects hands-on. This can range from setting up basic storefronts to more complex sites with apps, custom liquid, etc. (Your teammates will pitch in with copywriting and graphic design, if needed.)
• Answer inquiries from current and prospective clients when Shopify and Klaviyo are involved. Develop scopes of work.
• Serve as primary Project Manager: map out steps, import and customize templated tasks (Clickup), manage project timelines, coordinate items needed from clients, and manage ongoing client communication.
• Play a role in ongoing improvement of internal processes, task templates, and documentation.
• Collaborate with team to support Grapevine’s own marketing and development of packages and service lines.
• Depending on the interest and experience this person has, there will also be an opportunity to expand the role to other areas.

We’re always interested to hear what ideas you have for your role to expand or evolve as you grow professionally. 

QUALIFICATIONS
The ideal candidate is a creative critical thinker who enjoys getting to know clients.

• Project management/account management experience, including running meetings; proactive communication; and the ability to think through project steps, plan tasks, and anticipate ripple effects or related needs
• Strong ambition, enthusiasm, and client service mindset

Because Grapevine team members can work from anywhere, they need reliable high-speed wifi; a space and schedule that enable blocks of uninterrupted time to focus on work; the self-discipline to be productive on their own; and a professional background view for client video conferencing.
