About The Position

Five Star Franchising is one of the fastest-growing home services franchise organizations in North America. Headquartered in Springville, Utah, our portfolio includes seven brands and more than 1000+ franchise locations across the United States and Canada. We’re growing quickly — including the acquisition of five brands in less than two years — and we’re building the infrastructure, partnerships, and support systems needed to help our franchise owners grow alongside us. A key part of that support is the Five Star Buying Group, which connects franchise owners with preferred vendors, negotiated pricing, rebates, discounts, and other programs designed to make their businesses more profitable. We’re looking for a Customer Success Specialist to help our franchise owners get the most value possible from those programs. This is a highly relationship-driven role for someone who enjoys working with people, solving problems, staying organized, and turning conversations into action. You’ll serve as a primary point of contact for franchise owners within the Five Star Buying Group, helping them navigate vendor programs, identify savings opportunities, resolve issues, and take advantage of the partnerships available to them. This isn't just an inbound support position. We want someone who will proactively reach out to owners, understand how they operate, identify opportunities they're missing, and help increase adoption of preferred vendor programs across our franchise system. You'll work closely with franchise owners, vendor partners, brand operations teams, and the Director of Partnerships.
