Be the face we show the neighborhood.

This role reports to our Brand Manager. On our Lane, you’re the one who shows up Every year, millions of children need speech, occupational, or physical therapy to reach their full potential — and most families find us because somebody they already trusted pointed them our way. Today our Brand Manager carries those relationships alongside everything else brand and marketing. This seat takes them over. You’ll be on the road most days across the metroplex — pediatrician offices, specialty clinics, schools, early intervention teams, case managers, and community organizations — and you’ll build our events and volunteer program from the ground up.
