MARKETING ENGAGEMENT SPECIALIST

Jani-King of Pittsburgh | Pittsburgh, PA

Build Relationships. Build Your Brand.

Jani-King International is the global leader in commercial cleaning franchising, with over6,500 franchisees and 120 regional offices worldwide. For more than55 years, we've partnered with top organizations across healthcare, education, hospitality, stadiums, government, retail, and more, delivering professional cleaning services and unmatched customer satisfaction.

This full-timeMarketing Engagement Specialist opening is built for someone who wants real experience on both sides of the business, sales and marketing, without picking just one. You'll spend your days opening doors face-to-face, representing our brand at local events around Pittsburgh, and feeding what you learn in the field straight back to our Marketing team.

Expect hands-on training from day one, a genuine shot at building something of your own in the field, and commission and bonus potential stacked on top of your base pay. You'll walk away with real experience in prospecting, brand representation, and CRM work, the kind of story that carries weight in any future interview.

Position Summary

The Marketing Engagement Specialist keeps our pipeline full and our brand visible, introducing Jani-King to new business prospects through in-person visits, local events, and steady outreach, while also feeding real field insight back to our Marketing team. You're the bridge between a first conversation and a closed deal, and between a name on a list and a face in the community.

What it takes to succeed: You're comfortable starting conversations with strangers, you don't get rattled by a slow week or a door closed in your face, and you treat the brand side of the job as seriously as the sales side. You take feedback well, adjust fast, and show up with the same energy on day 90 as day one.

Key Responsibilities

Prospecting & Brand Representation

• High-Volume Prospecting: Turn a cold knock, a call, or a quick introduction into a real conversation, and eventually a booked meeting. We'll hand you proven scripts and real training to get there.
• Engage Decision-Makers: Introduce Jani-King's services, ask the right questions, and figure out fast whether there's a fit.
• Territory Management: Own your routes across Pittsburgh's core business districts, from Downtown and Oakland to the Strip District, South Side, and North Shore, plus growing markets like Robinson Township and Cranberry, and know them better than anyone else on the team.
• Brand & Event Representation: Show up at local business events, expos, and chamber functions as the face of Jani-King in the community.
• Appointment Scheduling: Book the win, qualify interest and lock in solid appointments for the sales team, with clean notes so nothing gets lost in the handoff.
• Relationship Building: Build connections that last through consistent, genuine follow-through, not just a one-time pitch.
• Marketing Collaboration: Team up with our Marketing team on messaging and campaigns, and watch the insight you bring back from the field actually shape what goes out next.
• Lead Follow-Up: Revisit prior contacts, inbound leads, and event connections to keep your pipeline alive.
• Results Tracking: Keep your own numbers, activity, follow-ups, progress, and use that data to show what you've built.

What We're Looking For

• Genuine interest in marketing, branding, or business development
• Proven ability to meet activity-based goals and performance metrics
• Strong communication skills with a professional, approachable style
• Highly motivated, organized, and comfortable working independently
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite; CRM experience a plus
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
• Reliable personal vehicle with current auto insurance coverage for daily travel

Why You'll Love Working Here

• Pay That Grows With You
• $25 – $28/hour base + monthly commission & bonuses
• Medical, dental, vision, paid vacation, paid holidays, PTO + company cell phone & mileage reimbursement
• Reputation & Reach: Join the most recognized name in commercial cleaning franchising, brand recognition that opens doors before you even knock.
• Marketing Exposure: Work directly with our Marketing team, gaining real hands-on experience in brand representation, messaging, and campaign strategy.
• Manageable Territory: Pittsburgh's compact layout means shorter drives between stops and more time actually selling, not stuck in traffic.
• A Path Forward: This isn't a dead-end gig, strong performers can grow into outside sales, marketing, or management roles, with coaching and documented wins along the way.
• Your Wins Get Noticed: Shout-outs, recognition, and extra incentives for the people putting up strong numbers.
