Company description

Grapevine is growing! Fully remote W2 position, 4 day workweek.

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. 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

Our team is growing! We intend to add 2 new marketing consultant roles in early 2025, and 3 new leadership positions in late 2025/2026.

RESPONSIBILITIES

This is a take-charge marketing generalist role. The position takes ownership of projects and client relationships, from the initial request through to the completed deliverable.

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.

Responsibilities will include:

• Execute many of your clients’ projects hands-on, and take ownership of other projects while collaborating with teammates to complete items that fall outside your skillset. Projects will include marketing planning, advertising, website development, SEO, social media, email/SMS marketing, branding, and others. You’ll have support from teammates who specialize in the areas where you don’t.
• Proactively manage project timelines; take ownership of details, planning and ripple effects; coordinate items needed from clients; and manage ongoing client communication in line with Grapevine standards.
• Develop a strong understanding of our project management system, and set up and manage projects there in accordance with company standards and processes.
• Manage project budgets to ensure profit.
• Answer inquiries from current clients, prospective clients, and partner consultants. Develop marketing plans, identify solutions for client needs, create scopes of work, develop proposals, and provide partner consultants with supporting content for grant applications.
• May serve as advisor to junior teammate, and co-advise/train peers as needed.
• Provide coaching for clients who want to build their in-house marketing skills.
• Play an active role in continuous improvement of internal processes, task templates, systems, and documentation.
• Collaborate with the 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, including specific marketing sub-specialties, team leadership, and operations.

Advancement opportunities: We plan to fill new leadership roles (Marketing Team Director, Web Team Director, Strategy/Operations Director) from internal candidates in 2025 and 2026.

QUALIFICATIONS
The ideal candidate is a creative critical thinker who enjoys getting to know clients and inventing solutions from a blank slate when needed.

If you appreciate having processes and systems in place, relish digging in to solve a challenge, and enjoy taking charge and knocking out tasks and projects, you’ll probably love it here. If you struggle with focus, motivation, or procrastination, this is not the job for you.

ESSENTIAL QUALIFICATIONS - These are required
✓ At least 3 years of strong professional experience independently managing projects and/or accounts, including running meetings; proactively managing client communication; thinking through project steps, planning ahead, and anticipating ripple effects and related needs

✓ Skilled at problem-solving, inventing creative solutions even when there is no template to follow, and turning fuzzy sets of needs or objectives into concrete plans

✓ Ability to be very present in the moment, listen thoughtfully, ask questions, and remember details, whether in team or client conversations

✓ Strong ambition, enthusiasm, and client service mindset

✓ Technical skills — we’re looking for folks with at least 4 of the following:

• Marketing strategy & planning
• Website planning and project management (sites of > 10 pages)
• SEO
• Google ads
• Meta ads (not just boosts, but full ads, with placement customization)
• Google Analytics 4 (not previous versions)
  Expertise developing detailed quotes, proposals, or grant applications
• Email marketing and social media for business use
• Copywriting (with strong command of English grammar and punctuation)

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

Preference will be given to candidates with passion and/or experience in farming or local food.
