Brand and Community Engagement

Opportunity

The Farm at Natchez Trace is seeking a dynamic, dual-faceted leader to serve as the heartbeat of our organization. This unique role combines Talent Acquisition with Community Relations
, allowing you to shape our team from the inside while building our legacy throughout the Franklin and Westhaven communities. You aren’t just filling seats; you are curating the culture. You aren't just attending events; you are the face of a luxury pet-care brand.

• Talent & Culture (Internal Focus)
  • High-Touch Recruiting:
    Manage the full-cycle recruitment process, delivering a "quality over quantity" experience by presenting only the top 1–3 highly vetted candidates for final review.
  • Strategic Onboarding:
    Lead the administrative journey from background checks to Paycom onboarding and training schedules.
  • Workforce Planning:
    Partner with the COO to define roles and titles, ensuring the Farm is staffed for excellence during peak seasons.
• Community & Events (External Focus)
  • Strategic Outreach:
    Build deep roots in the Franklin and Westhaven areas, specifically within the non-profit and companion animal sectors.
  • Event Mastermind:
    Own the end-to-end execution of off-site exhibits and community events—from booth logistics and staffing to physical setup and teardown.
  • Brand Integration:
    Promote the full ecosystem of The Farm (The Salon, THR!
    
    VE Market, Woof Club, and Training) through creative marketing and local partnerships.
  • Philanthropy:
    Manage charitable requests, donation baskets, and community gift tracking.

• We are looking for a "Swiss Army Knife" professional who thrives on variety. You are the right fit if:
  • You are a Master Communicator:
    You can interview a high-level manager in the morning and represent a luxury brand to Westhaven residents in the afternoon.
  • You are Operationally Strong:
    You can handle the "paperwork" of HR (Paycom, background checks) with the same precision you apply to event logistics.
  • You are Adaptable:
    You understand that "The Farm" never sleeps; you are comfortable with a schedule that shifts to include weekends or holidays for major events.
  • You are Mobile:
    You have a valid driver’s license and are comfortable transporting event materials and setting up physical displays.

Role This is a full-time role with a variable rhythm. While Community Relations remains consistent, the Recruiting side scales with our seasonal needs:

• Peak Season (March–Nov):
  Heavy focus on high-volume hiring and community events.
• Off-Season (Dec–Feb):
  Shift toward strategic planning, vendor relations, and streamlined administrative maintenance.

• A unique, non-siloed role where you see the direct impact of your work on the community and the team.
