Job Description

The Franklin County Community Development Corporation (FCCDC) is a nonprofit community economic development organization based in Greenfield, Massachusetts. We believe a strong local economy builds community and benefits everyone and are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive workplace. We work to weave racial justice work into everything we do, as we help entrepreneurs and business owners at every stage—from assistance writing a business plan to flexible financing and connections to resources. Our work with farms and food entrepreneurs strengthens the food system. This work creates opportunities and employment for low- and moderate-income residents throughout western Massachusetts. The FCCDC employs 20 hardworking staffers and has an operating budget of $3.7 million and assets of $12.8 million. 

We are looking for an experienced business advisor to work with both farm and general food businesses in Massachusetts as they launch value-added food products and other consumer packaged goods. The Farm and Food Business Advisor will work directly with clients through individual meetings and educational programming to provide general and financial business assistance to help producers grow and stabilize their start up or existing business. The advisor will help businesses strengthen their financial readiness and access to capital through coaching, connections, and tailored technical assistance. This role involves supporting FCCDC outreach efforts to engage farmers and local food producers, onboarding and coaching clients, and collaborating with food system stakeholders to facilitate access to resources and specialized support when necessary.

Please see the full job description for instructions on how to apply.
