marketumbrella.org, the non-profit behind the Crescent City Farmers Market, seeks a part-time Market Day Assistant to help with the set-up, staffing and breakdown of its three weekly, open air farmers markets.

The Market Day Assistant will work as part of a team and may also be asked to assist with special events, community outreach and other projects determined by the Director of Markets. Please note that this position requires some physical labor, early morning hours (on Tuesdays & Saturdays; Thursday we sleep in since our market is later in the day) and working outdoors.

An ideal candidate will have excellent time management skills and be able to work at a fast pace, be highly organized, detail-oriented and able to multi-task, exhibit excellent analytical and communication skills, and share our love for public markets, local food and fun! Cash handling or retail experience a plus. More information on our markets and organization is available at crescentcityfarmersmarket.org and marketumbrella.org. Please direct questions and resumes to Director of Markets Emery Van Hook: emery@marketumbrella.org. No phone calls please.
