The Marketing Operations Specialist plays a key role in implementing localized strategies, leading field execution, and improving operational systems across multiple club locations.
This position is responsible for managing marketing initiatives tied to new club openings, acquisitions, and regional campaigns. The role requires independent decision-making, project ownership, and cross-functional collaboration to ensure marketing initiatives are effectively executed and aligned with company growth objectives.
The Marketing Operations Specialist serves as a bridge between marketing leadership, field teams, and external partners, helping translate marketing strategy into measurable business results.
Position Summary
The position blends remote operational planning with on-site coordination during major marketing initiatives and club openings. Success in this role requires very strong organizational, the ability to prioritize multiple initiatives at once, and sound judgment in executing strategies and projects.
The marketing department currently is a team of four (about to be 6 with these two more current openings).
Vice President of Marketing: Overseeing department and promotional strategy, along with new club openings.
Marketing & Communications Manager: Overseeing all public relations, events, and SMS & email communications.
Social Media & Content Coordinator: Overseeing all social media campaigns and digital ad assets.
Social Media Specialist: Overseeing all social media deployment at club level. Along with event support.
Communications Specialist (to be hired): Deploying all SMS & Email campaigns. Along with PR support.
So, all of those other duties are covered within the department. Here's where this position comes in.
Marketing Operations Specialist (this position):
Working with the VP of Marketing to evaluate new markets, building campaign strategy, and understanding the demographics.
While we have 12 existing locations open, we have 12 more being built right now. This person would have a heavy hand in new locations.
Manage new and existing club graphics and signage for the Operating teams. Along with the vendor management to schedule delivery of graphics into the club.
Optimize day-to-day marketing department operational workflows, project management ownership, and recommend new processes on efficiency. There are a lot of projects in collaboration with our New Club Opening team and our Operations team, that need ownership from start to finish- this person would manage those.
It is basically the Swiss Army knife of marketing, part street team spark plug, part behind the scenes operations hero, part road warrior with a laptop.
