Community Manager (Tuesday – Saturday 9 AM – 5 PM, MT/PT Preferred) at Vital Farms Full Time

Finding the right place to grow your career isn’t (over) easy, so we’re here to help by sharing a few reasons why the grass is greener at Vital Farms. We think you’ll appreciate our focus on Conscious Capitalism, which drives business decisions that benefit all our stakeholders (leading to even better business results). You might be drawn to our innovative approach and refusal to settle for the “way things have always been done.” Or you could find it exciting to grow your skills while working for an industry-leading brand. Whether you’re into our values, our brand, or our egg-cellent puns, we hope you’ll join our Crew and help us change the world 108 square feet at a time!

Are you passionate about knowing where your food comes from? Do you believe in the power of social media to build trust through transparency? Is gifting your love language? If you found yourself nodding “yes!” to those three questions, the role of Community Manager at Vital Farms might just be for you. We’re on the hunt for someone to help us deliver a world-class customer experience that surprises and delights our consumers every day and in every way.

At Vital Farms, we exist to improve the lives of people, animals and planet through food. While we’re known for our pasture raised eggs – giving our hens 108 square feet to roam and calling bullsh*t on terms like cage-free and free range – the truth is we’ve got big plans to do so much more. We give a cluck when it comes to improving the food industry, one ethically-sourced ingredient at a time, and we’re building a team to help us do just that.

If that sounds like something you care about too, let’s talk about how you can bring people together and be a part of Where Honest Food is Raised as our new Community Manager.

Reporting to the Senior Community Manager, you’ll be a voice of the Vital Farms brand, connecting with consumers across multiple touchpoints, including email, social media, phone and good old fashioned snail mail. In addition to answering questions like “What’s the best way to soft-scramble eggs?” and “How can I thank the farmer who made my breakfast possible?” you’ll also get to share witty quips, quotes, and egg-cellent puns with our community of Hen-thusiasts. (See what we did there?) And if gift giving is your love language, then this job might just be for you. You’ll have the opportunity to surprise our loyal consumers with cartons of eggs, Girls on Grass tees, and so much more.

Organized, self-motivated, and fast on your feet (and fingers), your passion for community building will help us build trust and create meaningful connections with our consumers. Additionally, here are some other exciting projects and priorities you can expect to champion:
