About The SF Market
The SF Market makes things grow - for farmers, distributors, wholesalers, retailers, restaurants, and communities. Located in the heart of San Francisco’s Bayview Hunters Point neighborhood, it is home to 26 merchants that together offer the widest variety of fresh produce available to food businesses across Northern California. The SF Market is a hub that provides the critical infrastructure, programs, and relationships to help the food ecosystem and the communities it supports thrive.
The SF Market is San Francisco’s original-and only-wholesale produce market. As a pillar of the Bay Area’s food economy and a non-profit social enterprise, we create jobs for over 500 people and foster efficiency, diversity, and innovation. The Market moves millions of pounds of fresh produce through the Bay Area, occupies 485,000 sq. ft. of food-focused warehouse and logistics space, and is currently engaged in a multi-decade reinvestment plan to upgrade facilities to support new food businesses and an engaged community. The SF Market’s focus on growth extends to the entire food system - with programs directed toward food recovery and community impact. Learn more at www.thesfmarket.org.
Work of the Committee
The Marketing Committee is comprised of our volunteers, merchants, members of the Board of Directors and The SF Market’s Marketing and Communications Team. The role of the Marketing Committee, in collaboration with The SF Market staff, is to raise the profile and visibility of The SF Market. The function of marketing will achieve this through high-level strategic planning, key marketing initiatives and goal tracking. The SF Market is in the midst of a multiyear launch of the organization’s marketing strategy. This is an exciting time to join a San Francisco institution and help shape the organization’s vision for the future. The Marketing Committee’s work for 2022 includes:
- Developing, testing, and implementing new marketing strategies
- Making recommendations about potential goals, strategy, approach and creative ideas for marketing, branding, and communications
- Recommending action plans for implementation to the Board related to marketing, branding, and communications
- Providing key input into the formulation of The SF Market’s 2023 - 2026 Strategic Plan
- Ensuring alignment of Company Brand Messaging
- Supporting the enhancement of The SF Market website
- Establishing and aligning on key marketing initiatives for 2023
We are seeking qualified volunteers who feel confident they will be able to successfully execute against the goals of the Marketing Committee and who have the following:
- 7+ years of professional experience in marketing, branding, and/or communications, and
- Experience or interest in working in food and agriculture
