This is a year-round, full-time leadership role for someone who genuinely loves produce, markets, and people — not just a summer gig.

• Rotate and merchandise product to reflect what's fresh, peak, and available week to week
• Manage point-of-sale system accurately — transactions, pricing updates, and end-of-day reconciliation
• Monitor and maintain inventory levels; flag low stock and coordinate restocking
• Represent Produce with Purpose at the Appleton Downtown Farmers Market
• Help plan and execute seasonal pop-up markets (fall, winter, spring)
• Coordinate vendors, staff, and pop-up participants across all market formats
• Handle customer inquiries with confidence and deep product knowledge
• Assist with loading, transport, and physical setup of market materials

Requirements

• Previous farmers market or farm stand experience — required
• Strong knowledge of fresh produce: varieties, seasonality, quality indicators
• Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple moving parts
• Valid driver's license — required
• Ability to lift 50 lbs regularly
• Must be available to work Saturdays — non-negotiable
• Committed to year-round, full-time work including off-season programming

Preferred

• Experience coordinating vendors or pop-up events
• Familiarity with local/regional growing seasons across all four seasons
• Customer service or team lead experience

Schedule

30–40 hours per week. Saturdays required. Year-round position with consistent hours across all seasons.
