Compensation for this role is structured so that the majority of total earnings come from commission on catering sales performance, rewarding a self-starter who can build and grow the local market's catering business.

SUMMARY:

A fast-growing QSR franchisee is seeking a Field Marketing Specialist to serve as the brand's boots-on-the-ground marketing leader for its Little Rock, Arkansas market. This field-based role is responsible for driving guest traffic, community engagement, and sales growth by building and executing local marketing programs in partnership with restaurant leadership. The Field Marketing Specialist will operate with a high degree of autonomy and be responsible for building a local marketing system grounded in a strong understanding of restaurant operations.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Serve as the primary local marketing representative for all locations in the Little Rock market. Build a local store marketing system from the ground up as a self-starter, with minimal day-to-day supervision, that can later be applied to future locations. Apply hands-on restaurant operations knowledge to keep marketing programs realistic — for example, avoiding off-site event commitments that restaurant staff can't support with available power or food-safety infrastructure. Proactively build relationships with small business owners and the local Chamber of Commerce, rather than relying primarily on passive marketing such as school fundraisers. Occasionally travel to other markets, such as Texas, to observe new restaurant openings and complete training. Support catering sales growth through outreach and relationship development with local businesses and organizations. Track program results and deliver reporting and recommendations to brand and franchise leadership.

REQUIREMENTS

Prior experience as a restaurant operator strongly preferred; candidates from a pure sales background (e.g., pharmaceutical or radio sales) are not a fit for this role. Must be a self-starter capable of building marketing systems and managing local store marketing with minimal supervision. Strong networking and relationship-building skills, with a demonstrated ability to connect with small business owners and community organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce. Working knowledge of the Little Rock, Arkansas market and business landscape preferred. Comfortable with a structured, primarily local field schedule. Occasional travel to other markets for new restaurant openings and training.
