• Facilitate on-site content capture
• Identify and cultivate local partnership and collaboration opportunities
• Serve as the go-to marketing resource for assigned brand's daily needs
• Support franchisee-facing marketing initiatives as needed

The ideal candidate will reside in TX or FL. This is a fully remote position, but employee must be available to meet locally for meetings and restaurant visits as well as occasional overnight travel.

Requirements

• 3–5+ years in marketing, community management, or brand/experiential events (restaurant, hospitality, or franchise experience strongly preferred)
• Comfortable operating as both a strategic partner and a creative, hands-on planner
• Strong writer/communicator with an eye for authentic, local storytelling
• Highly organized — able to own a calendar and juggle multiple concurrent priorities
• Willing and able to attend and oversee events (including evenings/weekends as needed)
• Experience with social/community platforms, influencer relations, and basic performance reporting
