Director of Marketing

Marketing & Communications
Executive / Director
REMOTE

Role Description

We’re looking for a dynamic marketer who is customer-obsessed and brings a fresh approach to building marketing strategies, campaigns, and in-market programs that create results at scale. The ideal candidate has a passion for farms, problem-solving, food, collaborating cross-functionally, and driving data-driven results. The relentless pursuit of growth is the #1 responsibility for this role. We are changing the world through food and need hungry (pun intended) people who are motivated by the stakes.

MilkRun Mission & Job Overview

MilkRun is a re-imagining of farm-to-you food distribution. What if a grocery store existed solely online and delivered you radically local groceries harvested, baked, and butchered to order? What if we gave more money back to farmers, to our community? What if we could skip the overhead of a grocery store? What if we made it easy for you to get exactly the quality of food you want, right to your door? All of that would mean less cold storage, less trucks, less middlemen, and more power for the community — both farmers and shoppers. That’s why we’re changing the future of food distribution here at MilkRun.
