Mercer Island Farmers Market: Assistant Market Manager

The Mercer Island Farmers Market is seeking a motivated Assistant Market Manager to support the Market Manager and Board of Directors in creating a successful market that helps farmers and vendors thrive, engages the community, and maintains a safe and professional environment. The Assistant Market Manager is responsible for supporting both on-site market operations and off-site administrative tasks. The role requires availability during all market days and hours and the ability to work outdoors in various weather conditions, lift up to 50 pounds, and stand for 8+ hours at a time. This role is not a “desk-only” job, and requires a high level of flexibility, adaptability, and the ability to work calmly and confidently in the organized chaos of a live farmers market, where plans can shift quickly and problem-solving happens in real time. It also requires a willingness to get your hands dirty and jump in wherever needed, as this is an active, hands-on role that can be physically demanding at times. For more information and how to apply, visit the job description on the Mercer Island FM website.
