Northern Colorado Foodshed Project is hiring our next Executive Director, and we’re excited to welcome a driven, relationship-centered leader to help guide our next chapter. Since 2019, we’ve grown into a fast-moving, partnership-driven nonprofit, raising over $1M to launch and scale programs that strengthen our local food system, support farmers, and expand access to fresh, affordable food across Northern Colorado.
This is a hands-on leadership role in a small organization where communication, follow-through, and trust really matter. You’ll manage currently funded programs like our Farm Business Accelerator and Familiar Foods mobile market, steward key community and producer partnerships, lead a small team (3 to 4 part-time staff), and work closely with our Board to shape what comes next. The position is a contract role, 120 flexible hours per month (about 30 hours per week), paid $4,800/month, with funding in place through 2027 and real room to grow with additional support.
How to apply: Email a resume and short cover letter to Alyssa McConkey at president@foodshedproject.org
