Marketing + Communications Officer
📍 Melbourne Farmers’ Markets - Alphington Community Food Hub
⏳ 2.5 days/week
Melbourne Farmers’ Markets is in the business of real food – we exist to support the farmers and makers who produce it; together, we create communities around it.
We are looking for a communications gun to bring our work to life.
What You’ll Do
This role is built for a marketing pro who thrives on a challenge.
As the Marketing and Communications Officer your focus will be on the farmers’ markets, but your role will play a crucial role in enhancing the visibility, reputation and engagement of MFM across the breadth of our activities.
This role is food-orientated – community-spirited; it is fun and can be flexible but needs someone with an understanding that work/life balance requires as much the ‘work’ as it does the ‘life’ (yes, there will be weekend work for content creation).
Your mission?
Create compelling content across social and traditional media and email.
Design eye-catching assets (so Canva skills are a must!).
Manage social & email marketing campaigns—from strategy to measurement.
Engage media, influencers & community stakeholders
Stay on top of deadlines while juggling multiple priorities like a pro.
Who You Are
We’re looking for someone who can dive in headfirst with confidence, creativity and killer organisational skills.
✔️ Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Communications, or a related field.
✔️ Proven experience in email + social media marketing & campaign execution.
✔️ Instinctive Canva skills + an interest in AI & mastery of the Microsoft Suite.
✔️ Exceptional copywriting & editing skills - craft messaging that stops the scroll.
✔️ Curious & trend-savvy—you know what works and what’s next.
✔️ Relationship-builder—you love connecting with media & stakeholders.
✔️ Passionate about real food & community—this isn’t just another job for you.
Why Join Us?
Gain hands-on experience across content creation, marketing and design.
Be part of a passionate team that believes in connection, community & great food.
