Communications Assistant Job Posting
Pinch of Yum is a food blog that provides at-home cooks with fresh, flavorful recipes for real, everyday life. We love helping readers celebrate the joy of food in a totally accessible, non-intimidating way. Our small and mighty (and hungry! ) remote team is hiring a Communications Assistant to support back-end operations and communications!
We are looking for someone who is solution-oriented with a strong and confident command of language. Someone who loves a good spreadsheet, jumps in enthusiastically to new tasks and is maybe whichever Enneagram loves organization and consistency. We are a team of people who love to do great work, and prioritize kindness, gratitude, and the celebration of good food. We hope you do too!
Everyone is welcome in the Pinch of Yum community (including you!). We’re not about any one specific diet or food type – inclusion and accessibility are key and everyone brings something different to the table (figuratively but also, like, their literal dinner tables!). Whatever your cooking skill is, we have something for you. We are excited to add to our team so that we can continue to support our community in the best way possible.
Communications Assistant Overview
Hours: starting at 15-20 hours per week with room to grow
Compensation: dependent on qualifications
Status: W-2 Employee (must be based in and eligible to work in the United States)
Availability: Daytime Availability 3 days per week (ideally Monday, Wednesday, Friday for customer communication)
Location: We are based in Minneapolis, MN, but this position can be done from anywhere in the US! Remote working FTW.
We are a company that highly values diversity, equity, and inclusion. People of all ethnicities, nationalities, genders, races, and sexual identities are encouraged to apply.
Communications Assistant Responsibilities

- Respond to user inquiries and requests through our website and email.

This Could Be You If…
- You are a confident communicator, both interpersonally and in written word – especially in emails!
- You are solutions-oriented – everything can be figured out!
- You get immense satisfaction from crossing things off of your to-do list. Maybe too much satisfaction?
- You don’t mind doing repetitive tasks– in fact, you like doing some repetitive, predictable work! (Especially after this last year. How great is predictability?!)
- Bonus: You have a background in virtual or administrative assisting.
- You enjoy finding new recipes to cook and having fun in the kitchen (it’s pretty much our whole thing, recipes and food!).
- You are known for taking initiative and being resourceful – if you don’t know the answer, you do your best to figure out what you can, and come to the table with suggestions and possible solutions.
- You are super organized and consistent – things like naming conventions of file folders bring a smile to your face!
- Spreadsheets don’t intimidate you – data is fuuuuuun!
- You’re a superstar at managing multiple tasks and projects at once.
- You have a knack for approaching a project and breaking it down into manageable and actionable steps. (We could have said “bite-sized pieces” here but that’s maybe too on the nose.)
