About the Role:

The Field Marketing Specialist leads Dobson Fiber's in-market marketing across our Oklahoma and Arkansas footprint. This role plans and runs the events, sponsorships, partnerships, and grassroots campaigns that make Dobson Fiber the local, community-first choice, and turns that presence into measurable leads and sales. Working hybrid from our Oklahoma City office with regular travel to our markets, the Field Marketing Specialist reports to the Director of eCommerce and works hand in hand with the Marketing Specialist; this position has no direct reports. The role partners closely with Direct Sales, Multi-Family Sales, and Construction, especially as we launch fiber in new towns. Ultimately, the Field Marketing Specialist makes Dobson Fiber a visible, trusted neighbor in every community we serve.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Communications, Business, or a related field, or equivalent experience preferred
• 1 to 3 years of experience in field marketing, event marketing, community relations, or local market sales support.
• Proven experience planning and running events and sponsorships from start to finish, including budgets and vendor contracts.
• Track record of measuring marketing results in leads, sales, or ROI.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite and CRM tools.
• Valid driver's license, reliable transportation, car insurance, and a satisfactory driving record.
• Ability to travel regularly throughout the Dobson Fiber footprint, including overnight travel (approximately 40 to 50%), and to work frequent evenings and weekends.
• Ability to stand and walk for extended periods during events, work outdoors in varying weather, and lift, carry, and set up event equipment up to 40 lbs.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in telecommunications, fiber or broadband, utilities, or other subscription services, especially new-market launches.
• Experience with HubSpot or another marketing automation or CRM platform.
• Existing community, chamber, or business relationships in Oklahoma.
• Experience managing brand ambassador or volunteer programs.

Responsibilities:

• Build and own the annual field marketing plan and calendar by market, aligned to network build schedules, sales goals, and company priorities.
• Lead marketing for new-town and new-neighborhood fiber launches, coordinating pre-launch awareness, launch events, signage, direct mail, and door-to-door support with Sales and Construction.
• Find, negotiate, and run community events, festivals, school and sports sponsorships, chamber functions, and trade shows, owning logistics from planning through setup, staffing, teardown, and follow-up.
• Work closely with the Marketing Specialist on event logistics, promotional inventory, lead uploads, and reporting so field work and campaigns stay in sync.
• Recruit, schedule, and train employee volunteers and brand ambassadors to staff events, and coordinate event vendors and temporary staff.
• Build lasting relationships with chambers of commerce, schools, civic groups, nonprofits, HOAs, property managers, and local businesses, serving as a visible Dobson Fiber representative in each community.
• Ensure every event captures leads through Dobson Fiber's lead forms and contests, confirm serviceability, and route qualified leads to the right sales team quickly.
• Track cost, leads, serviceable leads, and sales from each event and sponsorship, and report results monthly to the Director of eCommerce.
• Manage the field marketing budget, sponsorship contracts, and vendor spend to keep spending on plan.
• Partner with Direct Sales, Multi-Family, and Business Sales leaders on territory priorities, promotions, and co-op events, and equip sales teams with on-brand collateral and talking points.
• Ensure all signage, booth displays, merchandise, and print follow Dobson Fiber brand standards, working with creative and agency partners on localized materials.
• Monitor competitor activity, offers, and advertising in each market and share findings with Marketing and Sales leadership.
• Gather photos, video, and customer stories from the field for social media, email, and the website.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Skills:

The Field Marketing Specialist relies on strong relationship-building and communication skills daily to represent Dobson Fiber with community leaders, partners, and customers. Planning and project management skills are essential for running many events and market launches at once, from first contact through follow-up. Negotiation and budget management abilities are applied to sponsorships, vendor contracts, and keeping field spending on plan. Analytical skills are used to measure leads, sales, and ROI and to decide where to invest next. Additionally, self-motivation and sound judgment are critical for managing multiple markets with limited supervision while traveling throughout the footprint.
