Job description

Who You Are:

You are passionate about FoodCorps’ mission and dedicated to food justice and racial equity. You thrive in the constantly evolving world of social media and have an unmistakable gift of creative storytelling. You have experience crafting and publishing highly engaging social media content for a brand and consider short-form videos (TikTok, Reels, Shorts) your specialty. You’re a social media trend spotter and you know how to leverage buzz-worthy content while maintaining an organization’s brand voice. You’re as comfortable in front of the camera as you are guiding influencers from behind the lens. Your networking and community-building skills allow you to easily connect with people and build community online. You thrive in a collaborative environment and can complete tasks within tight deadlines.

At FoodCorps we are intentional about how we do our work, and how we show up in the world. We practice being in charge of accessing, feeding, and evolving our worldviews. We connect with our history, own our flaws, evolve our biases, and deepen our understanding of ourselves. We are willing to hold ourselves and others accountable with care through courageous conversations while celebrating diversity, embracing complexity, and building belonging. We recognize that we do not have all of the answers, we create space for divergent perspectives.
