As part of the renowned Chick-fil-A brand, this restaurant operates under a philosophy that values teamwork, leadership development, and positive engagement with its guests and the surrounding community. Most Chick-fil-A locations, including New Bern Avenue, are locally owned and independently operated by franchised Operators committed to investing in team members' futures and giving back to the local area. Through its welcoming environment and commitment to excellence, Chick-fil-A New Bern Avenue continues to build its reputation as a leader in the quick-service restaurant space.

The Marketing and Events Coordinator role at Chick-fil-A New Bern Avenue is an exciting and dynamic position designed for those who are creative, outgoing, and passionate about building community connections. This position offers flexible employment options including full-time, part-time, or internship-based arrangements, tailored according to the candidate's experience and availability. The coordinator will help grow the brand presence by fostering strong relationships with local schools, churches, businesses, and community organizations. This role involves spearheading marketing efforts, organizing and executing events both in-store and within the community, and developing innovative promotional campaigns that enhance customer experience and drive business growth.

Serving as the face of the restaurant in the community, the Marketing and Events Coordinator plays a crucial role in establishing and maintaining the restaurant’s local influence. By working collaboratively with the team and community partners, the coordinator helps create memorable experiences for guests while supporting the overall business objectives.

In addition to community engagement and event planning, the position demands an individual who is comfortable being a visible and enthusiastic presence inside the restaurant, helping to build a fun and energetic culture among team members.

Candidates should possess strong communication and interpersonal skills, a creative approach to marketing, and be self-motivated with the ability to manage multiple projects efficiently. Social media savvy is a significant asset, given the importance of digital platforms like Instagram and Facebook in executing marketing campaigns and engaging with customers.
