Job description

Community Engagement Specialist (Nashville, TN)

Bring pets and people together as the community champion of PetOne Veterinary in Nashville.

About the Role

We’re looking for an energetic, community-driven Community Engagement Specialist to help establish the PetOne Veterinary brand across the Nashville market.

In this role, you’ll serve as the dedicated marketing and engagement leader for a cohort of four hospitals in Nashville. This is a unique, multi-site position where you will build partnerships, plan local events, and create tailored marketing strategies for each location. You’ll play a critical part in establishing PetOne’s brand presence in a competitive market, ensuring each of your four sites feels equally supported, represented, and connected to its unique neighborhood.

If you thrive on autonomy, love connecting with people, and are motivated by bringing a new brand to life through creative storytelling and local activation, this role was made for you.

Why You’ll Love This Role:

• Make real, visible impact: You’ll be at the forefront of community activation from neighborhood events to meaningful partnerships helping us turn awareness into affection.
• Flexible Model: Enjoy the freedom of a field-based role, spending approximately two days per week at a primary hospital and the other three days per week connecting on-site with other hospitals in the market and/or with other stakeholders in the community.
• Diverse Community Impact: From neighborhood events to meaningful local partnerships, you’ll navigate the unique characteristics of several Nashville communities, turning brand awareness into local affection.
• Collaborative Leadership: Join a strong, supportive team of hospital managers and leaders who are fully invested in this initiative and your success.

What You’ll Do:

Create buzz that matters

• Plan and execute community events, pop-ups, and on-site activations for each of the four Nashville locations
• Manage and grow a vibrant social media presence, using community-based storytelling to highlight individual hospital strengths while promoting the PetOne brand.
• Differentiate PetOne from local and national competitors through creative, hyper-local positioning.

Build Connections & Partnerships

• Foster strong, long-term relationships with local businesses, rescues, schools, and community influencers.
• Build deep trust and familiarity with local hospital leaders and their teams with an eye toward understanding hospital cultures, strategies, and growth opportunities.
• Serve as the face of PetOne at vendor events, pop-ups, and community activations across the Nashville area.
• Act as a bridge between hospital leadership and the community, ensuring a smooth and thoughtful brand rollout.

Drive Engagement & Growth

• Create opportunities for pet parents to engage with their local hospitals through educational events and local initiatives.
• Support the ‘soft launch’ in March and ‘hard launch’ in April with high-energy outreach and coordination.
• Capture and share insights from activations to constantly improve our community impact and ROI.

Who You Are:

• Social Media Savvy: You have a deep understanding of social platforms and know how to create content that stops the scroll and drives real-world action.
• A Natural Connector: Enthusiastic, personable, and confident in building relationships with diverse stakeholders, from veterinarians to local business owners.
• An Entrepreneurial Self-Starter: You are comfortable working autonomously without a traditional 'flagship' home base and can manage your own schedule across multiple sites.
• Highly Organized: A natural planner who can juggle the logistics of events and partnerships across six locations without letting details slip.
• Adaptable: You enjoy navigating change and can tailor your communication style to fit different neighborhood demographics and hospital cultures.
• Market Expertise: Deep and nuanced understanding of Nashville’s communities, both local to the hospitals and more broadly across the market.

What You Bring:

• Event & Partnership Experience: (Required) 3+ years in community engagement, event planning, partnerships, brand management or brand activation.
• Multi-Site Experience: (Preferred) Experience representing a brand across multiple units or locations.
• Local Knowledge: Familiarity with the Nashville market and a willingness to travel between locations (conveniently located within 20–25 minutes of each other).
• High Energy: A positive mindset and the ability to maintain momentum during a fast-paced market launch.
• A genuine belief in PetOne Veterinary’s purpose: helping pets live their best lives, every day, at every stage.
