Ocean Spray is hiring for a(n) Business Analyst & Administrator! We’re a team of farmers, thinkers, creators, and doers. Whatever your title, whatever your role — it always comes back to this: we’re a farmer-owned co-op where everyone rolls up their sleeves to get the job done. Three maverick farmers started it all — and we’ve been making our own way ever since. 

The Marketing Analyst & Administrator will actively lead and manage the execution of marketing projects (e.g. packaging design, consumer events, website updates, etc.) and budget management. Additionally, this role includes responsibilities for some office management and sales operations tasks.

Marketing projects will require strong project management & attention to detail (planning, timeline, copy decks, approval process, creative and copy revisions, final delivery...) ensuring all tasks are completed on time and to the highest standards. This includes being a steward for design management and creative operations for the brand, inclusive of packaging design, and consumer activations. This role will ensure that timelines and key deliverables are met to deliver against desired business results and needs. This position will work with cross-functional teams, both internal and external, to keep projects moving efficiently and effectively. This role will require a go-getter mindset that enjoys improving creative ways of working across the broader organization. Additionally, this role balances administrative tasks, such as managing budgets and monthly financial processes, office contracts, coding invoices, handling business expenses, GS1 setup and other customer-related tasks.
