ABOUT COMMUNITY FARMSHARE:
Community FarmShare (CFS) is a 501(c)(3) food systems focussed nonprofit with a dual mission of addressing nutrition insecurity and supporting local small scale farms to build a connected, equitable resilient food system.
Community FarmShare operates a farm produce aggregation hub in Gaithersburg, MD where we purchase nutrient dense produce from over 20 local small scale organic, regenerative, and naturally grown vegetable and fruit farms. Through this model, we operate both our Farm to School Program (F2S) and Food is Medicine (FIM) programs to address food insecurity in our communities.
In 2025, we ran 8 mobile farm markets to deepen our healthy food access mission. The mobile markets are essentially a pop-up farm stand with a refrigerated truck that we bring to various community locations at regularly scheduled days and times (near healthcare providers/community clinics and schools) to make our Food Is Medicine and Farm to School programs more accessible in communities where fresh produce access is otherwise lacking.
JOB SUMMARY
CFS runs markets both in the morning and the afternoons; we are seeking two Mobile Market Operations managers – one Manager for morning shifts and another for afternoon shifts, though could be combined to one full time job.
The Mobile Market Operations Manager is responsible for the daily management and execution of our mobile market program. This role includes overseeing the Mobile Market Operator team, logistics, inventory management, partnership relationships, customer service, and community engagement to ensure the success and sustainability of the mobile markets.

You’re the kind of person who stays on top of things, and you make sure nothing slips through the cracks.
People describe you as, “the most organized person they know” and/or someone who “gets things done”

There will be some aspects of this job where you need to take charge – but other aspects where you need to take direction. You are comfortable in both roles.
