Almost 90% of households in St. James Town in Toronto have faced food insecurity. The St. James Town Community Cooperative tackles the longstanding issue of food accessibility in this diverse community, with its OASIS Community Food Hub that provides healthy, culturally appropriate food to those in need.

The OASIS Community Food Hub is developing an online marketplace to increase access to healthy, affordable, culturally appropriate food, including produce sourced from local eco-farmer partners, for low-income households in the community.

Based on the Open Food Network platform, the OASIS Good Food Buying Club has a customer facing online store for members to buy a monthly $50 subscription for healthy food.

The main goal of the project is to increase Oasis Good Food Club sales of Good Food Subscription Bundles. The Sales Associate will be responsible for marketing and selling the subscription bundles, tracking and analyzing sales, testing new marketing campaigns, and exploring opportunities to add value to the company's sales goals.

The key metric for the sales team is number of customers of the $50 per month good food subscription bundle
