Develop relationships with targeted online, print, broadcast media, and digital influencers.
Maintain our Rolodex of contacts that will enable our team to nurture relationships with a personalized approach.
Manage an awards strategy that promotes our work to improve the lives of people, animals, and the planet through food.
Support coordination of media opportunities, speaking engagements, and press events.
Assist with creative development and compilation of media and influencer mailers, coupons, and product deliveries.
Manage program reporting including media monitoring, coverage tracking, and quarterly reports that help measure earned awareness reach against program KPIs.
Write press releases, media pitches, and other communications collateral.
Roll up your sleeves as a member of the communications team, as needed, to support the work we have to get done to engage with our stakeholder community, steward Vital Farms' reputation and build brand trust.

Strong interpersonal and writing skills to communicate across all our stakeholder groups.

You share our values of humility, empathy, growth, ownership, and competition. You believe "we" is greater than "me".
You hold yourself to the same high standards we hold for Vital Farms.

What We Bring to the Table:

A fast-paced, energetic, remote environment with passionate people who are leading a movement to bring ethically produced food to the table.
Competitive pay and benefits (medical, dental, vision, and paid parental leave, just to name a few).
Company-wide bonus program; when we succeed together, we celebrate together.
Generous retirement contributions: 401(k) + 3% contribution from day 1.
Free eggs and butter along with friends and family discounts.
