Down to Earth Market is looking for a Digital Marketing Manager who will report to the Managing Director. You will be responsible for creating and posting content across our digital platforms, which include web, email and social media. Your design and writing skills will foster community around our network of farmers markets, showcase our wide array of vendors, and present Down to Earth as a trusted leader in the NYC-area local food movement. Your success will be measured by the strength of our connection with current and potential shoppers, robust participation by vendors, and a strong link between shopper engagement in the farmers markets and in the digital world.
This is a part-time, remote position.

An analytical streak that keeps you organized, on schedule and attuned to the results of your work
A good instinct for collaboration that ensures you are regularly trading information and ideas with your fellow team members and not waiting for other people to reach out to you
A high comfort level with doing research and initiating conversations to make sure you know what you’re talking about and are creating engaging content
The ability to synthesize information and communicate on many different subjects
Strong social media skills, including knowing both how best to communicate via the different platforms and how to make the most of the platforms’ tools. We work with Facebook, Instagram and Tumblr. You will also need to use Hootsuite and navigate various web platforms for sharing market information in event calendars and with the media.
Excellent customer service skills in helping to answer questions and complaints that come in via digital channels
Intermediate to high skill level in InDesign, Canva or similar
Intermediate to high skill level in Mailchimp or similar (including basic HTML editing)
Basic photo and video editing skills with Photoshop or other editing software
Comfort with Microsoft business suite (Excel, Word, Outlook, Teams) where we do our business work and internal communications
