This role combines extensive field work with office-based responsibilities. Approximately 75% of your time involves travel, including frequent air travel and local driving, to visit small businesses, attend local events, and meet with community leaders in various markets. Travel costs are covered or reimbursed, and you will need a valid driver's license and the ability to rent a car. When not traveling, you work from an office environment, focusing on funnel management, data analysis, and collaboration with internal stakeholders across the country.
