With a strong commitment to community service, financial inclusion, and retail excellence, we're always striving to connect with our customers in authentic, meaningful ways—both in-store and online.

About the Opportunity

This is not a traditional "posting and scheduling" social media role.

We're looking for a marketing professional who can leverage analytics, audience insights, content strategy, paid advertising, and digital engagement to help drive business results across a large multi-location retail organization.

The ideal candidate understands how to turn data into action, identify opportunities, solve problems, optimize performance, and measure results. This individual will be responsible for managing social media channels, supporting digital marketing initiatives, analyzing performance data, overseeing paid media activities, troubleshooting platform issues, collaborating across multiple departments, and influencing marketing decisions through insights and recommendations.

This position is based at FirstCash's Corporate Headquarters in downtown Fort Worth and is expected to work onsite Monday through Friday as part of our collaborative Marketing team environment.

If you're passionate about social media but also enjoy analytics, optimization, paid advertising, stakeholder collaboration, platform administration, and business impact, we'd love to hear from you.
