Salary Range: $50,000-$65,000

Reports to: Marketing Team Operations Director

Thrive Restaurant Group is a 50-year-old, family-owned company with nearly 200 restaurants across five brands: Applebee’s, Qdoba, Carlos O’Kelly’s, Modern Market, and HomeGrown. We’re powered by 8,000 team members who believe in helping people flourish at work and in life. If that sounds like your kind of place, read on.

About The Role

We’re looking for a Brand Engagement Coordinator to bring our brands to life online. That means creating social content that’s engaging, trend-aware, and tied to real business goals. It also means helping the marketing team stay organized and on track—moving ideas from brainstorm to rollout.

This is a hybrid role where creativity meets coordination. One part social storyteller. One part behind-the-scenes project helper. All parts teammate.

What You’ll Do

• Draft, schedule, and publish content across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and other platforms
• Build and maintain social media calendars for our brands
• Keep up with trends, memes, and what’s working online—and bring fresh ideas to the team
• Help develop content (graphics, video, photography) with our creative partners
• Track what’s performing and share back insights
• Coordinate marketing timelines, vendor communication, and updates for smaller projects or brands
• Pitch in on planning, reporting, and keeping the marketing machine running
  
  

What You Bring

• 1-3 years of experience in social media, content creation, digital marketing, or communications
• Strong writing skills with a sense of brand voice and tone
• An eye for good content—and a drive to make it better
• Familiarity with tools like Canva, Meta Business Suite, Later, Google Drive, etc.
• Organized and detail-oriented: you can keep your own tasks (and a few others) on track
• Curious, creative, and collaborative—you’re not afraid to speak up or pitch in
  
  

Bonus Points

• Video editing and short-form content creation experience
• Google Analytics certification
• Knowledge of SEO or reputation management
• Experience managing vendor relationships or coordinating projects
  
  

Why This Job Matters

Marketing is about more than promotions. It’s how our brands show up in the world. And this role makes that happen—online and in real life. If you’ve got creative instincts, solid organizational chops, and a passion for making things happen, we’d love to talk.

To Apply:

Send us your resume and a few examples of content you’ve created. If you’ve got a TikTok or Instagram you’re proud of, include that too.
