About BITE

BITE: Building Impact Through Eaters is a trailblazing, female-founded 501(c)(3) working to make climate-smart food choices the norm. We operate at the intersection of food culture, behavioral science, and narrative strategy by equipping chefs, foodservice operators, and institutions with the tools to make sustainable eating the easy, joyful, and culturally resonant choice.

We are a small, fast-moving team. Everyone here is expected to bring their full expertise, curiosity, and craft to the work and to embody BITE’s voice, values, and energy in everything they produce.

The Role

We’re hiring a Communications Manager who thinks like a reporter.

You’ll be embedded in BITE’s work: sitting with program briefings, absorbing research findings, following our projects in real time. Then you’ll translate it—fast, precisely, and compellingly—into the stories and content that move our audiences, be it a deck or a social post.

The right person leaves a project debrief with five content ideas forming in their head before they’ve clicked out of the Zoom. They understand that a LinkedIn post and a PR pitch serve different audiences with different needs, and they can write both in the same afternoon.

You’ll report to the Director of Content and Communications and collaborate closely with BITE’s Programs team.

Core Responsibilities

Be BITE’s Field Reporter

• Maintain deep familiarity with every active BITE project and program.

• Proactively interview Programs staff to surface findings, milestones, and stories with public-facing potential.

• Identify the audiences most likely to care about specific insights: funders, foodservice operators, food media, policy advocates, or the general eater.

• Quickly turn a single project debrief into a content suite—LinkedIn posts, Instagram content, blog ideas, and PR angles.

• Support the Programs team in drafting webinar decks, case studies, and reports, helping them communicate findings in a way that is useful and digestible for target audiences.

Write and Publish Across Channels

• Draft and publish content for LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube—copy, short-form video concepts, and graphics—in a voice that sounds unmistakably like BITE.

• Write email newsletters, board updates, blog posts, case studies, and web copy that translate behavioral science and research into clear, compelling reading for the general public.

• Support press outreach: draft pitches and releases, maintain media relationships, and track coverage.

• Maintain the editorial calendar and keep content output consistent, coordinated, and high-quality.

Use Data to Get Sharper

• Track engagement and performance across channels; use what you’re seeing to evolve strategy.

• Monitor trends in food culture, food media, and the broader sustainability conversation to keep BITE’s voice timely and relevant.

• Report results clearly to the Director of Content and Communications.

Keep the Operation Running

• Help maintain subscriber lists, email workflows, and content templates.

• Keep the website accurate, current, and consistent with BITE’s voice.

• Maintain a well-organized library of digital assets and impact stories.

Who You Are

• You’re curious not just about food and climate, but about behavior and what makes people actually change.

• You believe that how something is communicated is often as important as what’s being communicated. 

• You work fast, can manage multiple workstreams, and you treat execution as seriously as you treat ideation.

You Bring

• 3–5 years of experience in communications, content creation, journalism, or digital marketing—ideally in a mission-driven organization or food/media environment

• Genuine fluency in behavioral science, data communication, or research translation (you don’t need a degree; you need demonstrated curiosity and competence)

• A strong writing portfolio that shows range: long-form and short-form, brand voice and news pitch, human and analytical

• Comfort with the tools: Mailchimp or equivalent, Canva, Squarespace or equivalent, Google Workspace. Video editing experience (Reels, CapCut, or similar)

• Confidence crafting AI prompts to generate accurate, on-brand, audience-relevant content—and the editorial judgment to know when the output isn’t good enough

• Experience with B2B and funder-facing communications is a strong plus

• Knowledge of foodservice, food systems, or food culture is a meaningful advantage

You’re not the Right Fit if:

• You need significant lead time to produce content ideas.

• You’re more comfortable executing than brainstorming.

• You struggle to write in a voice that isn’t your own.

• You don’t find behavioral science, food culture, climate issues, or research genuinely interesting.

Why BITE?

You’ll be working at the edge of food culture, behavioral science, and climate action. BITE is small enough that your voice shapes the work and established enough that the work has reach.

Benefits

• Remote work environment

• Flexible working hours (minimum 5-hour overlap with Central time zone required)

• Generous paid time off, including two weeks office closure at year-end

• Health, dental, and vision insurance

• 401(k) with company match

The negative impacts of climate and nutrition access disproportionately affect the most marginalized people in society, including people of color, people from working-class backgrounds, women, and LGBTQ+ people. Because we believe these communities must be centered in the work we do, we strongly encourage applications from people with these identities or who are members of other marginalized communities.
