  • Comfortable interacting with senior leaders and handling confidential information
  • Proactive mindset and a collaborative spirit
  • Experience with tools like Microsoft Office, SharePoint, Salesforce, or similar platforms (a plus)

What to Expect

  • High-visibility role with direct access to the ELT - your work will influence how our teams feel informed, inspired, and connected
  • Fast-paced, highly collaborative work environment where your ideas and perspective will be valued
  • Opportunities to shape and refine our voice as we grow and evolve
  • A leader who values initiative, creativity, and clear, human communication
  • Support for professional growth, storytelling ownership, and cross-functional collaboration
  • A unique onboarding experience that includes spending time with each ELT member (when in town) to walk in their shoes, understand their role, and build authentic relationships
  • Travel opportunities to meet our drivers, Area Managers, and leadership in the field - getting to know the heart of our business and the people who keep it running

Our Hiring Process

We believe great communication starts with understanding people and building genuine human connections. Our process is built to reflect that.

  • Phone screening with our HR team
  • Interview with the Marketing Manager
  • Roundtable interviews with each member of our Executive Leadership Team, including our CEO
