Type: Full-time
Salary: $90,000-$110,000, commensurate with experience • Full benefits package
Reports to: Wholesale Rescue Operations Director
You'll lead daily operations at Hunts Point Terminal Market, build the partnerships that keep food moving, and shape the strategy that helps the program grow. It's a role for someone who likes to think a few moves ahead and still gets on the floor to load a truck when it counts.
What you'll do:Lead operations at the Market
- Own day-to-day operations at Hunts Point Terminal Market, keeping logistics efficient, food handling high-quality, and service reliable.
- Manage scheduling, workflow, food quality control, and inventory.
- Keep the program compliant with food safety and operational standards.
- Jump into hands-on work when needed: sorting, loading, coordinating logistics, and operating warehouse equipment like forklifts and pallet jacks.
Grow the program
- Develop and execute plans to strengthen and expand the Bronx program.
- Track goals, spot operational gaps, and put fixes in place.
- Help shape and scale new initiatives that expand our reach.
Build and lead the team
- Supervise and support program staff with coaching, feedback, and clear performance guidance.
- Partner with the Operations Manager to train the team on procedures, food safety, and best practices.
- Foster a positive, mission-aligned team culture.
Deepen partnerships and support fundraising
- Build and maintain relationships with market vendors, receiving-agency partners, donors, and community organizations.
- Serve as the primary point of contact for key stakeholders, with consistent, responsive communication.
- Represent Sharing Excess at community events, coalition meetings, and partner engagements.
- Identify and cultivate new partnerships that expand capacity, donor base, and community impact.
- Work with the Development team on grant writing, donor stewardship, and funder reporting tied to the Bronx program.
You'll also partner closely with our CPO, COO, CEO/Founder, HR, and the Operations, Logistics & Distribution teams. This list isn't exhaustive; additional responsibilities may come up as the organization grows.
What you'll bring:- 5+ years in program management, operations, food distribution, or a related field. Nonprofit or food-sector experience is a strong plus.
- A track record of leading staff and volunteers in a fast-paced environment.
- Solid grounding in logistics, inventory management, and food safety.
- Experience setting strategy, defining goals, and tracking the metrics that matter.
- The ability to support fundraising through grants, partnerships, and donor relations.
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
- A proactive, solutions-first approach to problem-solving.
- Comfort with digital tools: Google Workspace, CRMs, apps, and internal tracking systems.
- The ability to lift up to 40 lbs and handle physical tasks in a warehouse or market setting.
- A real passion for cutting food waste and advancing food security.
You'll thrive here if you lead with clarity and compassion, balance big-picture planning with hands-on execution, build trust easily with partners and community members, and stay steady as the program grows and changes.
Compensation and benefits:- $90,000-$110,000 salary, commensurate with experience
