Marketing ManagerFull-Time · In Office – Scottsdale, Arizona · Reports to Chief Marketing Officer

ABOUT THE COMPANY

HB Protein Smoothies is scaling rapidly with corporate locations and multi-unit franchise deals, backed by Fransmart. Fransmart is a franchise development company specializing in identifying and scaling emerging restaurant and retail brands into national and global chains, with a track record of growing concepts like Five Guys, QDOBA, and The Halal Guys from a handful of units into powerhouse franchises.

We seek a proactive, hands-on Marketing Manager to lead grand opening execution and local store marketing across HB's growing footprint, while supporting the Chief Marketing Officer on day-to-day marketing tactics as the brand scales toward a ~500-unit vision.

Beyond that, this role serves as the CMO's right hand — helping execute paid social, content, and tech-stack tasks as directed.
