PR and Media Maestro

Full-time; $40,000 annual salary + year-end bonus + the fun of joining an amazing, tight-knit family who you'll be able to call friends for life once you join!

Description: We want to look back on Dec 31, 2012 and say that we just built a NATIONAL BRAND for sustainability/healthy eating with, of all things, a mushroom kit and this coffee-to-mushroom story! This positions requires someone taking immense ownership and pride in continuously pitching media (radio, TV, magazines, newspapers, blogs, websites, etc) to get the Mushroom Garden and this story out to every household in the country. We want to reach and inspire those who otherwise wouldn't consider growing their own food, and the best way to do that quickly is by leveraging the power of mass media. Despite some exciting coverage in the past, we're still a very small brand, and know the potential is infinite for us to bring this movement of healthy eating and fresh food to countless more families. Join a small, nimble team with HUGE goals and ambitions for this local food movement.

Qualifications: Hustle (this isn't a 9-5; we're trying to build a movement, and it's hard work!); Passionate (live and breath our values, and be able to exude the Back to the Roots ethos constantly when pitching media); Great communicator (can strike a conversation with anyone at anytime and be super engaging); nimble (it's a startup - things are always changing...can you react, adapt, and reorganize quickly?), Confident (you're talking to some major publications and media executives!), Organized (you're dealing with thousands of leads!)
