The Role

We're looking for a sharp, connected, and energetic Regional Director of Marketing to build partnerships and make sure Five Iron is the name on everyone's lips — from hotel concierges to corporate event planners to the after-work crowd.

• Support franchise partners with marketing guidance and brand-aligned local playbooks
• Manage budgets, track performance, and turn data into better decisions
• Serve as the primary point of contact for retail and franchise marketing requests — qualifying, routing, and owning each one through to completion
• Ensure every inbound request is clearly scoped and aligned with business priorities before it touches the broader Marketing team
• Evaluate whether needs can be solved with existing assets or templates before spinning up new workstreams
• Set realistic timelines and project-manage deliverables from first request to final hand-off
• Support new store opening marketing efforts across domestic and international locations — from pre-launch buzz to grand opening and beyond

Market Performance Triage

• Identify and support underperforming markets using data-driven insights and proven playbook tactics
• Collaborate with operations, analytics, and marketing teams to diagnose challenges and build corrective action plans
• Deploy local activations, partnerships, and campaigns designed to reenergize market awareness and drive performance

• Proven track record building and executing local marketing strategies that move the needle
• A natural connector who gets energized by being out in the market

• Franchise experience? Big plus
• You know NYC — its neighborhoods, its rhythms, and how to make something feel unmissable here
