Job Description:

The Carlisle Group is conducting a retained search to find the next General Manager of Community Food Co-op in scenic Bozeman, Montana.
Bozeman is called "the most livable place" for good reason. Enjoy world-renowned fly fishing, dramatic mountains for hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, skiing, hunting, and backcountry exploring, Yellowstone National Park, and impressive wildlife. When you are ready for a more city experience, dive into Bozeman's thriving arts and culture communities, ranging from main street festivals, farmers markets, cultural centers and museums to symphonies, theaters, and art galleries. The endless opportunities for outdoor recreation, low crime rates, a sense of community, great schools, beautiful parks, trails, and neighborhoods all come together to make Bozeman a great place to live.
Community Food Co-op is a local, independent grocery store with two locations in Bozeman, Montana.
We are passionate about good food. Here, you'll probably hear the words local, organic and fresh quite a bit. Do those words inspire you, too? Welcome! You'll probably find what you're looking for on our shelves.
We offer local, organic produce and meat, deli prepared meals, artisan bread, organic non-GMO groceries, hard to find ingredients, natural supplements and body care and much more. We are proud of the made-from scratch meals our cooks prepare and the high quality, affordable products on our shelves.
Food may take center stage, however, it's not our entire story. Community is part of our name. It's simple: we wouldn't be here without it. In operation since 1979, we have deep roots in Bozeman and surrounding communities. While everyone is welcome to shop here, we are equally-owned by our member owners. As a democracy, our store stands for the many; not the few. Here, everyone joins together to build a business we can be proud of, where social justice and economic success coincide. Our aim is to foster a culture where everyone feels valued, supported and inspired to achieve individual and team goals. This includes providing opportunity and access for all people across differences of race, age, color, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, religion, national origin, abilities, political affiliation, veteran status and socioeconomic background.
As a community-owned business, we strive to be a good neighbor. We are committed to practicing sustainable business operations as well as giving back to local organizations doing good things. Here, your grocery dollars are helping to build a stronger, healthier community.
