Work Environment

This is a full-time hybrid position based in the Charlotte, North Carolina area. The successful candidate must be able to work independently and maintain consistent availability during normal business hours.

Because this position supports executive leadership and a growing national franchise organization, occasional local meetings and periodic travel may be required.

Growth Opportunity
