Field Marketing & Launch Manager

Summary

The Field Marketing & Launch Manager will help Sparkle franchisees build local awareness, generate demand, and establish a strong customer base throughout the opening process.

• Coordinate franchisee execution of Sparkle’s multichannel launch strategy with internal and external agency partners.
