🍔 Marketing Manager

Location: Onsite
Reports to: Executive Director

About the Role

We’re looking for a hands-on Marketing Manager who loves execution as much as strategy. This role sits at the center of a fast-growing quick-service restaurant franchise system and directly impacts guest traffic, franchisee success, and same-store sales.

This is a doer role — not just planning, but building, launching, testing, and optimizing marketing programs that show up in real restaurants and drive real results.


What You’ll Do

Franchise & Local Marketing

  • Serve as the primary marketing partner for franchisees

  • Build and execute local store marketing programs, grand openings, and promotions

  • Create simple, effective toolkits, calendars, and playbooks

  • Coach operators on digital, social, and in-store execution

Campaigns & Promotions

  • Plan and launch national and regional promotions from start to finish

  • Manage briefs, timelines, and on-brand execution

  • Coordinate in-store signage, POS, menu boards, and promo assets

  • Partner closely with operations to ensure feasibility

Digital & Performance Marketing

  • Execute and optimize:

    • Paid social and search

    • Local listings and reputation management

    • Email, SMS, and loyalty programs

  • Monitor performance and report results to leadership and franchisees

  • Collaborate with agencies while staying hands-on

Brand & Analytics

  • Maintain brand standards across all locations

  • Support menu launches and limited-time offers

  • Track results, measure ROI, and turn data into action


What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of marketing experience (QSR, retail, hospitality, or franchising preferred)

  • Proven campaign execution experience

  • Strong understanding of local store marketing

  • Experience with digital platforms, CRM, and analytics tools

  • Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment

  • Strong communicator with franchisee-facing experience


You’ll Thrive If You Are

  • A roll-up-your-sleeves marketer

  • Operator-minded and solutions-oriented

  • Organized, detail-driven, and collaborative

  • Energized by growth, change, and impact


If you want a marketing role where your work drives traffic, sales, and real-world results — this is it.
