Job Description

Do you love food, fermentation, and DIY cooking projects? Are you a maker and a savvy marketer with a passion for developing clever campaigns, compelling content, and creative partnerships? Are you equally comfortable jumping into creating and editing assets as you are managing freelancers, deadlines, and deliverables? Do you want to inspire people to make their own beer, cheese, pickles, and even rainbow bagels with our fun and easy-to-use DIY kits?

If so, you might be the perfect fit for our New York-based food startup.

We are FarmSteady and Brooklyn Brew Shop, two sister brands that share a mission to get the world making a wide range of foods and ferments at home. Brooklyn Brew Shop creates seasonally inspired small batch Beer Making Kits, while FarmSteady focuses on baking kits, less boozy fermentation kits (think kombucha, hot sauce, and sauerkraut), as well as an ever-expanding selection of products centered around urban gardening, foraging, and more. Our kits are sold online and through retailers around the world, and we are looking for an enthusiastic Marketing Coordinator to join our small but globally focused team.

You will work closely with the co-founders, creative director, sales, and customer support staff, as well as outside PR agency and freelancers to plan and execute new marketing initiatives to promote our mission, products, and partners.

About Us :

Brooklyn Brew Shop started out of the Brooklyn Flea in 2009 to get space-strapped New Yorkers brewing. With the idea that making beer (real beer from real ingredients) can be simple, tasty, and most important, fun, we design stylish, easy-to-use Beer Making Kits made especially for stove-top brewing and ingredient mixes for seasonally inspired beers.

In 2016, we launched FarmSteady : A new brand designed to bring the same straightforward and approachable attitude to all things food (including growing, foraging, making and fermenting).

Our products can be found at Urban Outfitters, Macy's, Nordstrom, as well as at independently owned shops nation-wide and across the UK, Canada, Spain, South Africa, Austria, Denmark, Switzerland, Norway, the Netherlands, and Singapore with retailers in new countries being brought on at an ever-increasing pace.
