What We Seek
The Food Project seeks a self-directed, proactive person with a hospitality mindset to play an important role supporting our community engagement efforts. We’re looking for a team player who can flex between strategic thinking and hands-on execution, shares our commitment to equity and inclusion, cares about the details, and has a can-do attitude.
Reporting to the Director of Donor Engagement, you will collaborate with other team members (development, communications, programming, agriculture) to ensure that we successfully build and steward relationships with our supporters, alumni, and volunteers. You will oversee logistics for our series of annual events: fundraisers, donor engagement, and public programming. With guidance from the Director of Institutional Relations, you will help us build and oversee logistics for a robust farm-based volunteer program that engages both corporate and individual volunteers each spring and fall.

Don't have every qualification? We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive organization. If you are excited about this role but your experience doesn't align perfectly with the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. We anticipate supporting your professional development.
Location & Schedule
At times we spend at least three days per week in our offices but it is all in accordance with your work responsibilities. Each of our three offices is accessible by public transportation. However, our events are based on farms, and you must be able to provide your own transportation in order to travel to events, as needed, in Boston, Lynn, Wenham, and Lincoln. The vast majority of our in-person events are scheduled between April and November. There are occasional evening and weekend responsibilities.
