Summary Generated by Built In

We’re leading the way in redefining the workwear category. Our mission is to engineer better boots and apparel for our country’s tradesmen and women by working directly with real workers to learn what they actually need to execute their jobs.

The BRUNT team is not only devoted to improving on the old workwear standards, but we’re also creating a community that tradesmen and women can call their own. From our weekly hangouts at the BRUNT Garage, to hosting events across the country, we’re all about getting boots on the ground and building something real with the BRUNT crew.

What You’ll Do:

The Community Relations Associate plays a vital role in building and nurturing strong relationships within BRUNT’s expanding network of trade workers, brand partners, influencers, and customers. Collaborating closely with the Associate Director of Community Relations, this role supports the daily execution of community initiatives and helps bring the BRUNT brand to life through in-person events, on-camera content creation, and outreach to brand partners. As a key brand ambassador, you'll engage with our audience at weekly Garage events and national partner activations, contribute to cross-functional efforts, and help drive initiatives that expand BRUNT’s reach, including our trades-to-BRUNT talent pipeline and product donation programs.

How You’ll Do It:

Community Engagement & Outreach

  • Act as a hands-on representative of the BRUNT brand at Garage events, brand activations, and national sponsorships, including high-profile events like NASCAR, PBR, and Snowcross (~15 events annually, willingness to travel weekdays, weekends and overnight).
  • Identify, develop, and manage partnerships with trade schools nationwide to create a pipeline for BRUNT’s boot donation program.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for inbound and outbound product donation requests, including those supporting disaster recovery and rebuilding efforts.
  • Build and nurture authentic relationships with trade workers, customers, and brand ambassadors to drive long-term brand loyalty and engagement.
  • Represent BRUNT at trade and partner events to boost brand visibility and strengthen external relationships.

Event Planning & Execution

  • Assist in the planning, coordination, and execution of BRUNT Garage events and brand activations. Manage event logistics, including booking meals, travel, reservations, and transportation for both guests and internal teams.
  • Proactively identify and address potential obstacles in event planning and day-of logistics to ensure smooth execution.
  • Support event setup and breakdown, guest check-in, product merchandising, and customer service, ensuring a high level of hospitality at all times.
  • Research and recommend new BRUNT-owned event opportunities, including identifying key community members and brand partners for engagement.

Content & Brand Representation

  • Serve as a trusted on-camera brand ambassador, contributing regularly to BRUNT’s organic and paid social media content.
  • Capture high-quality video and photo content at events and activations for use across social platforms (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook).
  • Assist in tracking and coordinating content deliverables from brand partners and ambassadors to ensure timely and consistent delivery.

Talent Pipeline & Community Development

  • Assist in managing and scheduling BRUNT’s roster of trade workers and ambassadors who support events and content creation.
  • Help maintain and organize the partner database, tracking gear distribution, content delivery, and ambassador engagement.
  • Contribute to recruitment efforts by identifying and cultivating relationships with trade workers and individuals who align with BRUNT’s values.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Collaborate closely with teams across community & events, marketing, product, and operations to ensure the seamless execution of partner and community initiatives.
  • Act as a liaison between external partners and internal teams, gathering valuable insights and feedback to enhance BRUNT’s products and customer experiences.

What You Need to Succeed:

  • 2-5 years of experience in the trades and construction industries.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to build authentic, lasting relationships.
  • Highly organized, proactive, and adaptable, with excellent problem-solving abilities.
  • Experience or comfort working with trade workers, influencers, or creator communities.
  • Comfortable on camera, with experience in social content creation or podcast production a plus.
  • Willingness to work evenings and weekends as needed.
  • Ability to travel and attend approximately 15 BRUNT-sponsored events annually.
