Membership Coordinator Position Description

Mariposa Food Co-op is seeking a new Membership Coordinator to join our Staff Collective! We are a 1300+ member-owned and -operated cooperative grocery store in West Philadelphia. We have recently expanded our operations and our membership is increasing in size quickly. Our unique staff collective structure enables us to accomplish unified goals without a general manager and make decisions on a consensus-seeking basis. We are interested in applicants who have previous experience managing large numbers of individuals, particularly coordinating people in a volunteer organization and/or working within a cooperative model.

As our membership numbers increase we are looking for our new Membership Coordinator to continue to develop and refine methods and practices for our entire member program: including our tracking systems and informational databases. We are looking for someone with an understanding of member-run organizations, who both values and is able to engage members in leadership and democratic participation. A major part of this job is interacting with people; only candidates with exceptional communication and interpersonal skills who meet the criteria outlined below need apply.
