The Oak Park Farmers' Market Needs a Manager

Contract job puts you in charge of the longstanding local tradition.

The Oak Park Farmers' Market is looking for someone to manage the wildly popular, seasonal outdoor marketplace.

But it's much more than a feel-good endeavor. You'll need serious management chops, bookkeeping skills and much, much more. See the attached PDF for a full description of duties.

Village officials say the qualified candidate will have at least one year of administrative or entrepreneurial experience, and has "demonstrated responsible community service." Pay for the part-time, contract job is $20 per hour.

Oak Park is also hiring an assistant manager for the Farmers Market, a sort of second (organic) banana to the new manager. Pay for the part-time, contract is $15 per hour. See the attached PDF for a complete job description.

See the village's official website for details on how to apply. The application deadline for both Farmers Market jobs is March 9.
