This Isn't Just Another Marketing Job. It's an Opportunity to Build Something Bigger.

Puptqe | Local Marketing & Community Growth Leader

Location

Temecula, CA Employment: Full-Time Pay: $70,304 + Performance Incentives & Bonuses

Be Part of Something Bigger.

Puptqe started with a simple belief: Dogs deserve more than another pet store. We wanted to create a place where dogs and their people could connect, celebrate, and make memories together.

Today, Puptqe has been recognized as Pet Retailer of the Year 2025 and Subscription of the Year 2026. What started in Temecula is now a growing franchise brand expanding nationwide.

And we're just getting started.

We're looking for an ambitious, creative, and outgoing leader who wants more than a typical marketing job.

Someone who loves people, builds relationships, thinks differently, takes ownership, and knows how to turn ideas into results.

Your mission: Make Puptqe the place every dog owner in our community knows, loves, and visits.

Along the way, you'll bring people together, create unforgettable experiences, and have the opportunity to change people's lives.

Your Ideas Could Shape a National Brand.

You'll work directly with Puptqe's CEO and Co-Founders to develop and execute marketing campaigns that drive traffic, memberships, and sales.

You'll have the freedom to create and run in-store campaigns, off-site promotions, email and text marketing, community events, and local partnerships.

We want a leader who takes initiative, experiments with new ideas, makes decisions, and gets things done.

The campaigns you successfully develop in Temecula could become the marketing playbook implemented across Puptqe franchise locations nationwide.

You're not just marketing one store. You're helping build something much bigger.

What You'll Do

• Grow Store Traffic & Sales: Lead local campaigns, promotions, and referral programs that bring new customers through our doors.
• Increase PupPass Memberships: Create strategies to attract, convert, and retain paying members.
• Run Email & Text Campaigns: Develop and execute targeted email and SMS campaigns to promote offers, events, memberships, and repeat visits. Track engagement and sales results.
• Build Local Partnerships: Connect with apartments, veterinarians, groomers, schools, businesses, and community organizations.
• Create Events & Experiences: Organize dog-friendly events, in-store promotions, and community activities that attract customers.
• Drive Birthday Party Bookings: Promote our dog birthday parties through local outreach and partnerships.
• Build Local Awareness: Work with influencers, community groups, and social media to generate excitement around Puptqe.
• Develop Scalable Campaigns: Test marketing ideas that can be replicated across future franchise locations.
• Own the Results: Track customer growth, memberships, partnerships, events, email and text campaign performance, and sales. Report progress weekly.

This Won't Be Easy. And That's What Makes It Different.

Our expectations are high. Our standards are even higher.

We move fast, challenge conventional thinking, and hold ourselves accountable for results.

You'll face ambitious goals, campaigns that don't work, and challenges you'll need to solve independently.

We're not looking for someone who waits for instructions. We want a leader who takes ownership, brings solutions, inspires action, and finds a way to win.

For the right person, this could be the most challenging and rewarding job of your career.

You'll grow professionally, see your ideas come to life, and have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on a nationally expanding brand.

What We're Looking For

• Experience in local marketing, sales, business development, or community outreach.
• Experience creating and executing email and SMS marketing campaigns.
• Natural leadership qualities with the confidence to take initiative and make decisions.
• Outgoing, creative, and comfortable approaching new people.
• Self-motivated, organized, and able to work independently.
• Passionate about dogs, people, and creating memorable experiences.
• Results-driven with strong follow-through and accountability.
• Willing to challenge traditional marketing and try new ideas.

We value leadership, attitude, creativity, ownership, and results over impressive titles or resumes.

Schedule & Availability

This is an active, in-person position. You must be willing to:

• Los Angeles: Commute once per week for an in-person team meeting.
• Temecula: Attend Sunday morning meetings and activities.
• Community Events: Participate in local promotions and events, including weekends as scheduled.
• Have reliable transportation and flexibility to support business needs.

How We'll Measure Success

• Increased store traffic and new customers.
• Growth in paid PupPass memberships.
• Measurable increases in store sales.
• New local partnerships generating referrals.
• More event attendance and birthday party bookings.
• Effective email and SMS campaigns that drive customer engagement, repeat visits, and sales.
• Successful marketing campaigns that can scale nationwide.

We measure success by results, not how busy you look.

Plus performance incentives and bonuses tied to customer acquisition, membership growth, and sales performance.

As Puptqe expands nationwide, you'll have opportunities to grow professionally, take on greater leadership responsibilities, and help shape our future.
