Community Relations & Events Coordinator

Oaklin Lane · Dallas, TX, USA ·

Pay:
52.000 - 76.000
Job type:
Full Time

Be the face we show the neighborhood.

Oaklin Lane is hiring a Community Relations & Events Coordinator to carry our referral and community partnerships across DFW — the person who keeps every relationship warm and puts Oaklin Lane in the rooms where families already are. This role reports to our Brand Manager.

On our Lane, you’re the one who shows up
Every year, millions of children need speech, occupational, or physical therapy to reach their full potential — and most families find us because somebody they already trusted pointed them our way. Today our Brand Manager carries those relationships alongside everything else brand and marketing. This seat takes them over. You’ll be on the road most days across the metroplex — pediatrician offices, specialty clinics, schools, early intervention teams, case managers, and community organizations — and you’ll build our events and volunteer program from the ground up. Start in DFW. As we grow, this role grows with us: statewide first, then into new states.

About Oaklin Lane
Oaklin Lane is your neighborhood pediatric therapy clinic — a growing network of purpose-built clinics providing compassionate, expert care to kids from infancy through adolescence. We believe in evidence-backed therapy where hard work feels like play, and progress happens on each kid’s own terms.

What you’ll do

Own the DFW referral and community partner map — who’s warm, who needs a visit, and what each partner needs from us

Take over the referral relationships our Brand Manager carries today, and get out on the road daily — pediatrician offices, specialty clinics, schools, early intervention teams, and case managers

Hold a consistent visit cadence and partner coverage across the metroplex, and report on it weekly

Source, book, and run tabling and community events — school nights, health fairs, library programs, festivals, sports leagues, and neighborhood gatherings

Stand up our volunteer program from scratch — pick the causes that fit who we are, build the cadence, and get our team out into the neighborhoods we serve

Recruit and schedule Oaklin Lane clinicians to staff events, coordinating across clinic schedules so no one’s caseload takes the hit

Own the event budget — spend per event, tracked against plan, approved through the Brand Manager

Keep the table kit ready — branded materials, giveaways, signage, and displays ordered, stocked, stored, and restocked

Manage the event calendar and every deadline attached to it — applications, vendor fees, insurance certificates, permits, load-in times, and booth assignments

Run post-event reporting — contacts made, families reached, cost per event, and an honest read on what’s worth doing again

Partner daily with the Brand Manager on messaging and materials so every event looks and sounds like Oaklin Lane

Keep clinic teams in the loop — what’s coming, who’s needed, what to expect

Build the playbook that travels — the systems you build in DFW are what we’ll run in every market we enter next

Why this role at Oaklin Lane
A space built for the work.

Our clinics are purpose-built from the ground up for pediatric therapy. Designed for how kids actually move, play, and learn.

A team that shows up for each other.

We celebrate progress, support each other, and create a place people genuinely want to be. That’s how culture works on our lane.

A pathway to grow.

We invest in our clinicians — continued education, mentorship, and real opportunities to deepen your expertise. When you grow, our kids do too.

Work that carries beyond the clinic.

Oaklin Lane is expanding access to pediatric therapy across a growing network of neighborhood clinics. You’ll start with DFW, but the partner map, the event playbook, and the volunteer program you build here are what we take statewide — and eventually into new states. Build it well, and the bigger version of this role is yours.

Who you are
You are:

Genuinely warm — people remember meeting you, and they’re glad when you come back

Relentlessly organized — event dates don’t move, and you’ve never let one catch you unprepared

Comfortable being the new face in the room, walking into a pediatrician’s office and leaving with a real relationship

Someone who tracks commitments and closes loops across a dozen partners, clinics, and vendors at once without dropping one

Calm when something goes sideways an hour before doors open

Energized by being out on the road, not behind a desk

A builder — you’d rather stand a program up than inherit one

You bring:

4+ years in community relations, events, outreach, or field marketing

Healthcare, pediatric, or multi-site services experience (preferred) — existing pediatrician office, school, early intervention, or case management relationships a strong plus

A track record of events you owned end to end — sourced, booked, staffed, ran, and reported on

Proven ability to manage many time-sensitive deadlines and stakeholders at once

Experience owning a budget and reporting on spend

Strong written and verbal communication — equally comfortable with a physician, a school principal, a clinician, and a family

Reliable transportation, a valid Texas driver’s license, and a clean driving record — daily travel across DFW is the job

Deep familiarity with the DFW metroplex and its communities

Working knowledge of Google Workspace; comfort with spreadsheets and a shared calendar

Bachelor’s degree (B.A./B.S.) or equivalent experience

What to expect

Schedule:

Full-time · 40 hours/week · Monday–Friday with some evenings and weekends for events (flex time back during the week) · Field-based across DFW, home base at the Lake Highlands clinic · Reports to the Brand Manager

Mileage reimbursement for all business travel

Stipend for medical, vision, and dental

401(k) with employer match

PTO

Paid professional development

All equipment, materials, and event supplies provided

A pathway that grows with us — DFW today, statewide and multi-state as we expand

Field-based across DFW

Come see what we are building
The first move is the hardest one — we’ll take you through the rest. If you’re curious, we’d love to start the conversation. Reach out to meet the team or schedule a time to visit the clinic.

Oaklin Lane is an equal opportunity employer, committed to creating a workplace where every clinician is welcome on our lane.
