Their priorities are growing their crops and running their business, not necessarily learning how to use an online software but that’s where you would come in. You need to be able to be patient, friendly, adaptable and meet our customers where they are at whether they need technical assistance or some guidance on how to market their produce or run their CSA programs online. These are the people that grow our food and we want to make sure we show them understanding and appreciation in every interaction!

About Local Line
What started as a niche local food movement has become big business. Local Line offers you the opportunity to work in the middle of one of the fastest growing segments of the food system: local food. Local Line is a B2B SaaS company that is the leading farm-to-fork platform for farms, restaurants, grocery stores, and distributors. We help farms list their inventory online and sell to all kinds of buyers, and we help buyers find the right farms for them to do business with.
Why work at Local Line?
Local food is the fastest-growing sub-segment of the broader food industry. Consumers are looking for more convenient ways to shop for healthy, locally-produced food and products. While this has been the trend for a while, COVID-19 has caused a dramatic acceleration in demand for local food as people have begun to look for safer, closer-to-home alternatives to the grocery store. The team at Local Line is truly passionate about building a customer-centric company as we seek to help our customers solve some of the most significant challenges they face in all aspects of sales, distribution, and procurement. We have an amazing and dedicated team, and now we are looking to add to our numbers as our business continues to grow. We have a clear vision for the future and a roadmap to execute on. Local Line offers a competitive salary. We are focused on building a diverse and inclusive team. If you’re excited about this role but do not meet 100% of the qualifications listed below, we encourage you to apply and tell us about yourself.
