HIRING: Community & Operations Coordinator at Nashville Food Cooperative

Position Overview

The Nashville Food Cooperative is seeking its first employee to help build and grow a community-owned local food system in Nashville. This is a flexible, part-time position (approximately 20 hours/week) for someone excited about cooperative development, local food systems, and helping shape a long-term vision for a community-owned grocery cooperative.

This role combines community outreach, membership development, marketing, food distribution logistics, cooperative operations, and strategic organizational development. The ideal candidate is highly self-directed, energized by building new systems, and excited about playing a major leadership role in an evolving grassroots organization.

One day may involve representing the co-op at a community event, another may involve coordinating with local farmers, packing Cooperative Investment Boxes (CSA boxes), helping identify funding opportunities, communicating with members, or supporting the development of future food access initiatives like a mobile market program.
