The Valencia Corridor Merchants Association (VCMA) Board is looking for a part-time, flexible corridor manager to provide administrative support and run all events and programming on the Corridor in San Francisco (94107).
The corridor manager will support small independent businesses on Valencia, develop close relationships with local business owners, and gain unique and valuable experience in the SF local political scene. By being a point of contact for many community organizations, the corridor manager will also gain connections in the retail, restaurant, arts, and non-profit spaces.
The ideal candidate would have approximately 10-15 hours a week available to support the VCMA - in-person in San Francisco would be nice but is not required. Attendance (Zoom is fine) is required for 1 monthly board meeting, but otherwise, duties can be mostly accomplished remotely and flexibly during weekdays. This role is perfect for someone making a career change, looking for part-time work, perhaps while caring for family, or interested in civic engagement with ideas for improving city life.
Salary will be paid as a 1099 employee at an hourly rate starting at $25/hour based on experience with the opportunity for an increase in pay for exemplary service.
The Corridor Manager will submit a monthly invoice with hours worked and notes on tasks accomplished.
The ideal time frame is to start ASAP until June 2025.
To apply, please email your resume and contact information and indicate your availability for a phone or zoom interview in the next two weeks.
