Community Relations & Events Coordinator

Be the face we show the neighborhood.

Oaklin Lane is hiring a Community Relations & Events Coordinator to carry our referral and community partnerships across DFW — the person who keeps every relationship warm and puts Oaklin Lane in the rooms where families already are. This role reports to our Brand Manager.

On our Lane, you’re the one who shows up

Every year, millions of children need speech, occupational, or physical therapy to reach their full potential — and most families find us because somebody they already trusted pointed them our way. Today our Brand Manager carries those relationships alongside everything else brand and marketing. This seat takes them over. You’ll be on the road most days across the metroplex — pediatrician offices, specialty clinics, schools, early intervention teams, case managers, and community organizations — and you’ll build our events and volunteer program from the ground up. Start in DFW. As we grow, this role grows with us: statewide first, then into new states.

About Oaklin Lane

Oaklin Lane is your neighborhood pediatric therapy clinic — a growing network of purpose-built clinics providing compassionate, expert care to kids from infancy through adolescence. We believe in evidence-backed therapy where hard work feels like play, and progress happens on each kid’s own terms.

What you’ll do

• Own the DFW referral and community partner map — who’s warm, who needs a visit, and what each partner needs from us

• Take over the referral relationships our Brand Manager carries today, and get out on the road daily — pediatrician offices, specialty clinics, schools, early intervention teams, and case managers

• Hold a consistent visit cadence and partner coverage across the metroplex, and report on it weekly

• Source, book, and run tabling and community events — school nights, health fairs, library programs, festivals, sports leagues, and neighborhood gatherings

• Stand up our volunteer program from scratch — pick the causes that fit who we are, build the cadence, and get our team out into the neighborhoods we serve

• Recruit and schedule Oaklin Lane clinicians to staff events, coordinating across clinic schedules so no one’s caseload takes the hit

• Own the event budget — spend per event, tracked against plan, approved through the Brand Manager

• Keep the table kit ready — branded materials, giveaways, signage, and displays ordered, stocked, stored, and restocked

• Manage the event calendar and every deadline attached to it — applications, vendor fees, insurance certificates, permits, load-in times, and booth assignments

• Run post-event reporting — contacts made, families reached, cost per event, and an honest read on what’s worth doing again

• Partner daily with the Brand Manager on messaging and materials so every event looks and sounds like Oaklin Lane

• Keep clinic teams in the loop — what’s coming, who’s needed, what to expect

• Build the playbook that travels — the systems you build in DFW are what we’ll run in every market we enter next

Why this role at Oaklin Lane

A space built for the work. Our clinics are purpose-built from the ground up for pediatric therapy. Designed for how kids actually move, play, and learn.

A team that shows up for each other. We celebrate progress, support each other, and create a place people genuinely want to be. That’s how culture works on our lane.

A pathway to grow. We invest in our clinicians — continued education, mentorship, and real opportunities to deepen your expertise. When you grow, our kids do too.

Work that carries beyond the clinic. Oaklin Lane is expanding access to pediatric therapy across a growing network of neighborhood clinics. You’ll start with DFW, but the partner map, the event playbook, and the volunteer program you build here are what we take statewide — and eventually into new states. Build it well, and the bigger version of this role is yours.

Who you are

You are:

• Genuinely warm — people remember meeting you, and they’re glad when you come back

• Relentlessly organized — event dates don’t move, and you’ve never let one catch you unprepared

• Comfortable being the new face in the room, walking into a pediatrician’s office and leaving with a real relationship

• Someone who tracks commitments and closes loops across a dozen partners, clinics, and vendors at once without dropping one

• Calm when something goes sideways an hour before doors open

• Energized by being out on the road, not behind a desk

• A builder — you’d rather stand a program up than inherit one

You bring:

• 4 years in community relations, events, outreach, or field marketing

• Healthcare, pediatric, or multi-site services experience (preferred) — existing pediatrician office, school, early intervention, or case management relationships a strong plus

• A track record of events you owned end to end — sourced, booked, staffed, ran, and reported on

• Proven ability to manage many time-sensitive deadlines and stakeholders at once

• Experience owning a budget and reporting on spend

• Strong written and verbal communication — equally comfortable with a physician, a school principal, a clinician, and a family

• Reliable transportation, a valid Texas driver’s license, and a clean driving record — daily travel across DFW is the job

• Deep familiarity with the DFW metroplex and its communities

• Working knowledge of Google Workspace; comfort with spreadsheets and a shared calendar

• Bachelor’s degree (B.A./B.S.) or equivalent experience

What to expect

• Schedule: Full-time · 40 hours/week · Monday–Friday with some evenings and weekends for events (flex time back during the week) · Field-based across DFW, home base at the Lake Highlands clinic · Reports to the Brand Manager

• Mileage reimbursement for all business travel

• Stipend for medical, vision, and dental

• 401(k) with employer match

• PTO

• Paid professional development

• All equipment, materials, and event supplies provided

• A pathway that grows with us — DFW today, statewide and multi-state as we expand

• Field-based across DFW
