About the Position
Chip Cookies is looking for an outgoing, motivated, and dependable Field Marketing & Community Partnerships Representative to help grow our presence in the local community.
This is not a remote marketing position.
The majority of your time will be spent out in the community visiting businesses, schools, offices, apartment communities, healthcare offices, gyms, organizations, and events to introduce people to Chip Cookies and create new business opportunities.
You will essentially serve as the local face of Chip Cookies—building relationships, dropping off samples, generating catering and large-order opportunities, developing community partnerships, and helping turn local awareness into actual sales.
This is a great part-time opportunity for someone who is personable, independent, organized, and comfortable walking into a business and starting a conversation.
IMPORTANT: Transportation Requirement

Applicants must have:
- A reliable personal vehicle available for use during working hours
- A valid driver's license
- Current automobile insurance
- The ability to independently travel to businesses, organizations, events, and other locations throughout the local area
Approved business mileage will be reimbursed separately from hourly compensation.
This position cannot be performed from home.
