We believe Running Changes Everything. If you believe that, too, we want to talk. With more than 280 stores and a robust e-commerce site, Fleet Feet is the largest running retailer in the country. Catering to more than runners, we pride ourselves on having an inclusive environment! We believe it’s a privilege to serve and to deliver unmatched service and support when outfitting every customer. We run together to solve problems, reach goals, encourage others and champion our brand.   

As the Community Outreach Director for a multi-store market, you will be the strategic force behind all marketing and community engagement efforts. In this role, you’ll lead the outreach vision, manage local outreach teams, and align every initiative with the business goals of each store. You’ll own the market’s marketing strategy and budget, measure the success of campaigns and events, and help elevate Fleet Feet as a trusted resource for running, fitness, and wellness in the community.

Working closely with Operating Partners, Store Leadership, and the Fleet Feet Store Support Team, you’ll ensure that community relationships, local events, and in-store experiences reflect Fleet Feet’s brand, mission, and growth objectives. This is a high-impact leadership role for someone who thrives at the intersection of grassroots marketing, community building, and retail success.
