Community and Influencer Coordinator

OVERVIEW

Icelandic Provisions is an early-stage healthy food company that provides essential nutrition rooted in the Nordic Food Philosophy. The flagship product, Skyr, is the only authentic Icelandic style yogurt brand in the United States that uses heirloom Skyr cultures and the original recipe that is beloved across Iceland.

The Nordic way of life is not only deeply rooted in the quality of the Icelandic Provisions’ products but runs deep in the organizational culture through the WÁOO (pronounced WOW!) values. When we are attracting talent to join our growing organization, a natural question we ask is whether the candidate brings the “wáoo” factor? We describe is as: Welcoming, Ámbitious, Optimistic, and On with the butter!

Icelandic Provisions is seeking a Community and Influencer Coordinator to join our marketing team, on a contract basis, to help strengthen and expand our community connections and take our influencer collaborations to new heights. In this role, you will be the bridge between our brand and our online followers, as well as a liaison with influencers who share our passion for skyr.

This part-time contract role (approximately 25 hours/week) will report directly to the Senior Marketing Communications Manager. While we're open to remote candidates, we prefer someone based in NYC where our headquarters are located.
