  • Community Impact Communications: Collaborate with our Community Impact and Corporate Giving leaders at the company to help elevate our philanthropic partnerships and associate engagement initiatives

  • Comfort working with media, external partners, and senior executives
  • A genuine interest in purpose-driven work and telling stories that make an impact

Nice to have:

  • Experience in agriculture, food, or related industries
  • Knowledge of ESG, sustainability reporting, or public policy topics
  • Familiarity with measurement tools (media monitoring, social analytics, etc.)
  • Experience working with nonprofit or advocacy organizations as a communicator or liaison
