You’ll be a versatile executor responsible for the campaigns that turn our customers and partners into our biggest advocates.

A day in the life (Responsibilities)

Campaign Execution: Build and launch multi-channel referral touchpoints, including emails, in-product placements, and social posts designed to drive customer engagement.

Sales Enablement: Support Sales activation by creating and maintaining the one-pagers, slide decks, and email templates that empower our teams to generate referrals.

Expansion Support: Execute targeted referral initiatives for specific business units, including Retail, International, and Strategic Cuisine.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Marketing, Sales, and Care to ensure a seamless advocate experience and identify gaps in the existing referral journey.

Process Optimization: Continuously evaluate the referral journey to identify ways to simplify the experience for our advocates and improve efficiencies for our internal teams.

What you'll need to thrive (Requirements)

Experience: 1+ year of experience in marketing execution, growth marketing, or managing referral/loyalty programs.

Communication: Strong written communication skills with the ability to write engaging, human-centric copy that resonates with our community of business owners.

Technical Aptitude: Experience with marketing technology (e.g., Salesforce, Marketo, or specific referral platforms).

Pride in the Details: Meticulous executor who understands that the small things matter. You double-check the work to ensure every touchpoint is smooth, accurate, and ready for launch.

Adaptability: The ability to remain organized and positive in a high-growth environment where priorities can shift quickly.

Industry Passion: A genuine interest in the hospitality and retail industries and a desire to help small businesses succeed.

Special Sauce (Nice to Haves)

B2B Expertise: Experience in B2B marketing, particularly within the hospitality or tech space.

Project Management: Familiarity with project management tools (e.g., Asana) to keep complex campaigns on track.

Sales Support: Experience partnering with a Sales team and a genuine interest in creating the resources (like templates and decks) that help them succeed.

Design Aptitude: A basic understanding of design principles or experience using Google Slides or Canva to polish materials.

Data Literacy: Comfort with (or a desire to learn) data tools like Sigma, Hex, or Snowflake to help track how our programs are growing.
