Noblesville Main Street is searching for a person to oversee the Noblesville Farmers Market and other market expansion events.
In addition to the farmers market, Executive Director Renee Oldham said the organization is looking for a person(s) to oversee the Thursday Market, Holiday Market and a winter market, which the organization is looking to create.
“There are wonderful things we are talking about expanding. The Thursday Market will be making some modifications to enhance the experience as well as the farmers market,” she said.
The Noblesville Farmers Market is May 18 through Oct. 4. The market runs 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and the market master should arrive one hour prior to the start and stay about one hour after its conclusion. Oldham said two to four hours per week may be required throughout the market season along with some hours before the season for planning efforts.
Oldham said the organization plans to have a person in place within the next 30 days.
“The market begins mid-May and we’d like to have someone in place by then,” she said.
The market master is responsible for the dad-to-day operation of the Noblesville Farmers Market. The primary objectives are to support vendors while ensuring compliance with market rules and to encourage vendor and customer participation. This position reports directly to Oldham or her designee. The farmers market position pays $2,500 for 250 required hours. The other markets also provide additional salary.
“We could have one to four (market masters). We prefer one overall person,” Oldham said.
Oldham said candidates should “be very organized, has worked in community building and can work with vendors on following regulations and implementing of market strategies.”
“People skills would be critical and so would organization skills,” she said.
Those interested are asked to send a resume and a letter of interest to Oldhan at [email protected] or Market Master Position, Noblesville Main Street, 839 Conner St., Noblesville 46060. Oldham asks candidates to specify which market – or all – they are interested in.
