Description

Position Summary

The Parent Relationship Manager (PRM) is the welcoming face of the business and a key driver of growth. The PRM is responsible for generating new business, managing leads, conducting Meet & Greets, converting prospective customers into enrolled customers, and building lasting relationships with dog parents. The PRM owns the parent journey from the first interaction through enrollment and ongoing relationship building, while representing the warmth, high standards, and excitement of the Dogtopia brand. This is a sales, relationship-building, marketing, and community-facing role—not simply a front-desk position. The PRM is expected to actively create opportunities, follow up with prospects, convert qualified leads, promote current offers, and help build the local community presence that supports store growth.

Core Responsibilities

Generate new business through proactive lead generation, relationship building, local marketing, community outreach, and sales activity.
Manage incoming and existing leads from initial contact through Meet & Greet, enrollment, and appropriate follow-up.
Conduct Meet & Greets and create a welcoming, informative experience for prospective dog parents.
Ask questions, understand customer needs, explain services, and recommend the appropriate enrollment options.
Promote current offers and pre-opening offers when applicable.
Follow up with prospective customers and boarding clients in a timely and consistent manner.
Accurately and promptly enter customer, lead, Meet & Greet, and enrollment information into designated systems.
Build relationships with local businesses and community organizations that can increase awareness and customer opportunities.
Attend local events and actively represent the Dogtopia brand in the community.
Develop and execute localized marketing activities that support lead generation and enrollment goals.
Help create a positive and consistent experience throughout the parent journey, from first impression to loyal customer.
Coach the store team on the Dogtopia-isms and reinforce the behaviors that define how Dogtopians work together and serve customers.
