Field Marketing Specialist, Northeast

Just Salad is looking for a Field Marketing Specialist focused on our Northeast region to join the Marketing Team. As we expand into new neighborhoods and strengthen our presence in key markets, we need a driven, resourceful, and highly proactive Field Marketing Specialist to take our local marketing efforts to the next level.

This is not a desk job. As the Field Marketing Specialist for the Northeast region, you’ll be on the ground, making things happen—building brand awareness, securing partnerships, and driving customer engagement. You’ll seek out and execute high-impact marketing opportunities, working closely with store teams, community partners, and event organizers to grow the Just Salad brand.

We’re looking for someone who is a natural connector, thrives on getting things done, and isn’t afraid to strike up a conversation—whether it’s with a local business owner, a corporate partner, or a customer. You need to be a self-starter who takes ownership, finds opportunities before they arise, and turns strategy into action. In line with Just Salad’s mission to make everyday health and sustainability possible, you will also support initiatives to reduce Just Salad’s environmental footprint.
