Job description

Good Food Jobs seeks a temporary Communications Guru to help us spread the word about some recent and upcoming web developments, help attract new users to our site, and develop an overall marketing & communications strategy for GFJ.

This is currently a part-time contract position, lasting for 3 months, but could lead to additional work in the future.

ABOUT US
Good Food Jobs is the first online job search engine devoted to connecting people looking for meaningful food work with the businesses that need their energy, enthusiasm, and intellect. Since our launch in October 2010 we've posted over 6,500 jobs, collected over 30,000 registered users, and created a central meeting location for people who care about the food that they eat, and the jobs that they have. At any given time we have over 700 active jobs on our website, and grow a little bit more every day.

ABOUT THE POSITION
While we'd love to think that Good Food Jobs is nothing but perfect, we recognize that it's always a wrk in progress. We are fortunate for the 30,000+ faithful users of our site - and how close, passionate, and meaningful our community is - but we also realize that there are 330+ million people in the United States alone. We know that many more of them are interested in marrying their passion with their profession, and doing great work in the world of food - if only they knew about Good Food Jobs.

We are endlessly devoted to creating useful resources to convert more transient food lovers into dedicated gastronomes that bring more good food to more good people. But we can't do it alone. If two minds are better than one, than three minds are better than two. That's right, we need YOU.

WHAT WE WANT

• a comprehensive marketing & communications plan for the next year, outlining how and where we can reach new users
• three press releases designed for upcoming web developments, events, and / or newsworthy dealings
• a third party to discuss and collaborate on ideas for development

WHY WE WANT YOU

• You visit Good Food Jobs every day - not just to find jobs, but to see what is happening in the food world as a whole: Who is hiring? Who is growing? What new projects are out there?
• You are creative, think outside of the box, and above all - don't believe in selling out to support your cause; you know that there is always another (and most likely a better) way
• You have a personality, and you show it
• You also believe that sticking to doing good will actually make you more well off in the end, in terms of money, happiness, and otherwise

WHY YOU WANT IT

• To be a part of something that you believe in
• You've always wondered what happens behind the scenes at Good Food Jobs
• You are searching for a full-time job in food Marketing / PR / Communications, and you could use some extra cash while you search for the perfect long-term opportunity (you never know, it could be with us!)
• The inherent nature of the work will put you in contact with a number of prospective future employers, helping to hone your future job search, and giving you a great platform through which you can make yourself / your work known

THE DETAILS
This is a part-time, paid position, lasting for approximately 3 months. We estimate that you will work about 20 hours per week. Stipend of $500 per week.
