We have a story. Our producers have a story. The food has a story. Stories, stories, stories. Seems like a small thing, but it’s really kind of the whole thing. At Foodzie, we take our food seriously, but not ourselves too much. We’re obsessed with discovering the best products from independent foodcrafters and sharing who they are, how it’s made, and why we love it. As the Head Storyteller you’ll work closely with the founders (that means me!) and designers to weave these stories into every touch point with our customers.
YOUR DREAM JOB AT A HIGH LEVEL
Each day will be different (which makes it fun!) but at the core your work will tie back to these three:
- Storytelling – Captivate our customers with colorful insights and anecdotes about the producers and food.
- Brand Building – Craft content to communicate the brand.
- Eating – Yep, it’s a very awesome part of the job. Gotta eat it to write about it!
STUFF YOU’LL DO OTHER THAN EATING GOOD FOOD
- All the time, you’ll create and be the strict enforcer of the Foodzie voice across multiple platforms including: blog, newsletter, site, Foodzie Tasting Box, and social media.
- Daily, you’ll create conversation via social media, including Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook.
- Daily, you’ll whip up how-tos, producer interviews and fun food stuff for the blog.
- Weekly, you’ll deliver delicious discoveries via our email newsletter.
- Monthly, you’ll dive deep, writing site and print copy for our top product selections that make it into our Tasting Box experiences.
- As Needed, you’ll be crafting messaging on the site consistent with the brand.
WE WON’T LET YOU IN THE DOOR IF YOU’RE NOT…
- Obnoxiously obsessed with good food.
- A pro food writer with stacks (digital stacks work too!) of articles/posts that make us hungry and make us smile. Years of work don’t matter as much as lots of examples of food writing we can’t put down.
- A stickler for the small details.
- Active on social media (the usual suspects).
- Fast, flexible, and fast. We’re a startup!
- A do-er, self-starter.
- Fun.
- A team player.
- Hungry to be the best.
- Living in the Bay Area.
- Obnoxiously obsessed with good food.

I live in Pittsburgh but I'm your girl…I have a page on Fb called "The Food Snob" I talk about, yes FOOD and local restaurants. I also have a business page La Peri Dolci. A business that is for sale currently but still working it. Was on Martha Stewart Radio show and cooked on live tv locally . Seriously, I am your girl but can we have a long distance romance??
Sounds awesome! Unfortunately the location is really important to us. We want to be able to work with you in person. Plus all the food is in our office, so this person needs easy access to sampling. Thanks for the note!
I'm so bummed. This really does sound like my dream job, but I'm not in the Bay area. Best of luck to the individual who fits your needs!
I know some folks that might be interested – is this a full time in-office position? What's the day to day look like?
Oh, cursed timing! I lived in the SF bay area my whole life – until moving to Germany a year and a half ago. This is my dream job and I'm tempted to return just for it. I LOVE the European lifestyle, but aside from friends and family, missing the amazing food from the states – SF in particular – is what causes me the most pain! I'll be anxiously awaiting any remote, consulting positions you have…
Hi – is it too late to submit my resume?
I would love this job since I am Susie Homemaker and do this already for a living !
My new web site is under construction at http://www.susiehomemaker.com
I live in Texas but could fly in and out and of course work Via Skype! Sounds like fun and also having to work out a lot!
Hi there, I'm a Madison-based food writer (and actually, I've got an article about one of your vendors off to press!) and my partner and I are planning to relocate to the Bay Area, date negotiable. When is the projected start date for this position? Thanks!
Sounds like a dream job. Too bad I live in Charlotte, NC.
Yet another reason I need to move to the bay area
Whoa. I've died and gone to job heaven! My resume is in your inbox. Looking forward to learning more about the opportunity!
Good luck to all – let me know when you decide to go bi-coastal & seize the SoFla market – being a tourist trap we are in desperate need of good food/food snobs/go-to guru's! My foodzie box is my little slice of heaven once a month to ohhh & ahhh over!
hi, this sounds like a great opportunity that i am very interested in. is the position still open?
This Position sounds like a dream come true. I love food, have travelled globally to try and cook foods, and i would love to share what i know with people and products. Is the position still open?
Wow, this seems like the most amazing opportunity! I am a digital media professional in the bay area and I'm ridiculously obsessed with food. I have a food blog that I devote all of my free time to and it has been my goal to combine my digital media experience with my passion for food as a career. I'll be sure to apply today and send you some links!
I'd love to be able to do this, albeit my studies are in the field of graphic design, I can however paint some lovely pictures while using words as my pallet. to bad I'm from So Cal, the lady above me seems to have all the right quals on this one, lol maybe some other time.
