Food For The Hungry (FFTH) has a job opening for its executive director. The position as the executive director is essential to the Food for the Hungry team in its nonprofit efforts focused on providing food and financial support to entities striving to reduce hunger in Knox County, Ohio.

The executive director’s main responsibility is to oversee and coordinate the annual FFTH Drive in November and December. Throughout the year, the executive director manages various grant applications and award deadlines, coordinates with community partners and grant recipients, presents annual operating budget requests, coordinates marketing and promotional initiatives with the digital content and marketing director, and works closely with the FFTH board on FFTH matters. The executive director should positively represent FFTH to the public at and in various venues. 

The executive director is a salaried position. While this is not a full-time position, the months of January, April, May, and October will necessitate more time (20-25 hours per week during these months are typical). In the “off” months, February, March, June, July, August, and September, 15-20 hours per month should be expected. November and December are, timewise, the heaviest months. One should expect to average 25-30 hours per week during these two months with Drive week (the second week of December) set aside as the one “all-in, whatever it takes” week.
