The Project/Outreach Manager will be a half-time contract position reporting to the Green Top Grocery Cooperative Interim Board. Primary responsibility will be to coordinate planning and execution of the co-op development process and to maintain momentum needed to make demonstrable progress toward store opening. Because this is a half-time position, the Project Manager will need to make use of the time and skills available from interim board members, owners, and other volunteers to complete project activities.
Candidates for this position must have excellent management and team-building skills to coordinate with the Interim Board, future permanent Green Top Board, future General Manager, working committees, as well as co-op owners, prospective owners, stakeholders, and community.
The contract will be for one year with the possibility of extension and full-time employment. Salary for this position is $20 per hour.

What is Green Top?
GREEN TOP GROCERY is a new cooperative grocery store being organized in Bloomington-Normal. In many ways, a co-op grocery store is just like any other grocery store—it carries all of the products and offers all of the services found in the typical grocery store. However, there is one big difference: COMMUNITY OWNERSHIP. The GREEN TOP co-op grocery store will be voluntarily owned and controlled by the people who use it: our owners, who purchase equity shares in the co-op. It will be operated for the benefit of the owners, to meet their mutual needs and values.
