About The Position

Five Star Franchising is a fast-growing organization leading multiple national brands across home services, restoration, and celebrations. Our mission is to help franchise owners thrive by delivering best-in-class marketing, operations, and business support that drive profitable growth and remarkable customer experiences. We live our DRIVE values — Driven, Real, Enthusiastic, Innovative, Vital — combining bold thinking with flawless execution. We move fast, stay accountable, and care deeply about results and people.

The Director of Consumer & Brand Strategy will serve as the strategic brand lead across Five Star Franchising’s portfolio, responsible for strengthening brand positioning, consumer understanding, messaging strategy, media direction, and overall brand effectiveness. This role is designed for a classically trained brand marketer — ideally from CPG, consumer services, retail, or highly strategic brand organizations — who brings a strong foundation in consumer insight, brand management, media planning, and business performance ownership. Reporting to the SVP of Marketing, this role will partner cross-functionally with brand teams, marketing directors, agencies, franchisees, and Presidents to sharpen positioning, improve marketing effectiveness, and drive profitable growth across the portfolio. This is not a Creative Director or production-focused role. Candidates should have formal experience owning brand strategy, consumer positioning, media planning, and business performance — not solely creative development, design leadership, or production execution.

Requirements

• 5+ years in brand management, preferably within CPG, consumer services, retail, or highly strategic brand organizations.
• Candidates should have formal experience owning brand strategy, consumer positioning, media planning, and business performance - not solely creative development or design leadership.
• Strong business and analytical mindset with experience leveraging consumer insights, market data, and performance metrics to drive brand and revenue growth.
• Experience working within highly matrixed or cross-functional organizations preferred.
• Proven success managing agencies and leading cross-functional projects.
• Analytical, insight-driven, and skilled in storytelling and executive influence.
• Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Business, or related field; MBA preferred.
