Field Marketing Manager

The Field Marketing Manager is the marketing owner for an assigned portfolio of car wash locations, typically 30-40 sites. This is a field-based role: the majority of the work happens at the sites and in the communities our washes serve not behind a desk. The role exists to convert brand level strategy into local execution that drives membership growth, paid traffic, and community presence. This position partners closely with Regional Operations leadership, General Managers, and the corporate Marketing team to plan and execute grand openings, local events, community partnerships, B2B and fleet outreach, and in-market promotions. Success is measured at the site level: membership counts, paid capture rate, and retention of the members we acquire. Requirements CORE ACCOUNTABILITY: OWN YOUR MILE Every wash location competes first within its DMA, and most directly within the mile that surrounds it. The Field Marketing Manager owns that mile the businesses, schools, neighborhoods, commuter patterns, competitors, and community organizations within it and is accountable for building and executing Own Your Mile strategy for each assigned site. "Own Your Mile" is the operating philosophy of this role, not a campaign. It means the Field Marketing Manager knows their areas better than anyone else in the company and can answer, for any assigned site: who lives and works here, where they wash today, and what will move them to us. Specific accountabilities include: Build and maintain a documented Own Your Mile plan for each assigned location, refreshed at minimum quarterly, covering area demographics, traffic patterns, top competitors, and the local growth for the site. Plans are logged in Mission Control and developed in partnership with the site's General Manager.

Set and deliver site level membership acquisition targets sourced from local activity, distinct from brand and paid-media-driven volume. Own the local calendar: grand openings, re-opens, seasonal promotions, school and sports partnerships, charity washes, and community events across the assigned portfolio. Drive B2B, fleet, and multi-unit account development within the mile, including outreach, proposal delivery, and hand-off to the appropriate account and operations partners. Audit and maintain on-site and near-site brand presence: signage, banners, menu boards, POP materials, wayfinding, and curb appeal, escalating deficiencies to Marketing Leadership Maintain accuracy of local digital presence for each site, including listings, hours, imagery, and review response coordination Gather and report competitive intelligence pricing, promotions, new builds, and closures within each mile, and recommend responses.

Lead grand opening and re-launch execution end to end: pre-opening community outreach, launch-day staffing and activation, giveaways, media and influencer coordination, and post-launch reporting. Manage local event logistics, including permits, vendors, equipment, branded assets, and on-site staffing. Partnership with Operations Serve as the marketing point of contact for assigned General Managers, Director of Operations and Regional Vice Presidents; attend site visits and operations meetings on a regular cadence. Train site teams on active promotions, membership offers, and guest-facing talk tracks so that marketing investment converts at the point of sale.
