Dog Director Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Position Overview

Good Clean Dog is a fast-growing startup on a mission to disrupt the dog-grooming industry by creating a better experience for dogs, the people who love them, and the professionals who care for them.

This person will help plan and execute campaigns and new-shop launches, build relationships throughout the St. Louis community, support our online community, and bring customer acquisition and retention programs to life in HubSpot. 

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys making connections, coordinating details, and moving projects forward. The right person will be equally comfortable representing Good Clean Dog at a local event, finding new ways to connect Good Clean Dog to the STL community, unpacking a marketing analytics report, and building an email campaign in HubSpot.

• Coordinate influencer partnerships, including outreach, appointments, content visits, deliverables, and follow-up.
• Partner with our content team to manage social media comments, direct messages, and online reviews, escalating customer concerns when appropriate.
• Build and schedule approved email and SMS campaigns in HubSpot to support acquisition, onboarding, rebooking, retention, and reactivation.
• Support Good Clean Dog’s digital presence and acquisition efforts by maintaining local listings, coordinating website and SEO content updates, and assisting with paid-media campaigns, assets, reporting, and conversion tracking. 
• Collaborate with shop teams, operations leaders, vendors, and agency partners to keep initiatives organized and on schedule.
• Track results across campaigns, events, partnerships, influencers, community engagement, and CRM communications to help determine what is working.

 What Success Looks Like

• Marketing campaigns and new-shop launches are strategically planned, accurately executed, and delivered on schedule.
• Good Clean Dog develops meaningful community, business, and influencer relationships that increase local awareness and generate new pet-parent opportunities.
• Community events and partnerships are well executed and evaluated based on their impact.
• Our online community receives timely, helpful, and consistently on-brand engagement, with customer concerns appropriately escalated.
• Marketing projects, partners, assets, and timelines stay organized, allowing internal teams and external partners to work together effectively.
• Results are consistently tracked and translated into clear recommendations about what Good Clean Dog should continue, improve, or test next.

 What We’re Looking For

• 2–4 years of experience in marketing, community engagement, partnerships, events, communications, or a related role.
• A proactive, highly organized person who takes ownership and follows through.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with a natural ability to build relationships.
• Sound judgment and the ability to communicate in a warm, professional, and consistent brand voice.
• Comfort managing multiple projects, partners, and deadlines.
• Experience with CRM, email marketing, or marketing automation platforms; HubSpot experience is preferred.
• Familiarity with social media, online review management, and community engagement.
• Familiarity with local SEO, Google Business Profile, paid digital media, and basic marketing analytics is preferred.
• Comfort reviewing performance data and using it to improve future execution.
• Willingness to attend occasional community events outside traditional business hours.
• Genuine enthusiasm for Good Clean Dog’s mission, a passion for dogs (or at least like them A LOT), and the opportunity to help build a growing brand.
