About Leash

Leash is building the transportation layer for the pet care industry, a category-defining platform that enables pet care businesses to offer pet pick-up and drop-off services without the cost and complexity of managing vehicles or staff. As a fast-growing, venture-backed company, we partner with dog daycares, groomers, vets, and pet resorts to unlock convenient access for pet owners and operational efficiency for businesses, making pet logistics more accessible, reliable, and stress-free for everyone involved. As we expand across Texas and the Southwest region, we’re looking for a driven and strategic Regional Growth Manager to lead our growth throughout the Texas-Southwest region.

The Role

As the Regional Growth Manager, you’ll be responsible for launching and growing new markets in the Texas-Southwest region. You’ll own the full partner development lifecycle—identifying, recruiting, and nurturing relationships with pet care businesses—and ensure those partnerships are set up for long-term success. You’ll work directly with the CEO and serve as the face of Leash in your region, combining growth strategy with hands-on execution to drive adoption and market success.

Responsibilities

• Lead the launch and growth of new markets in your region, starting with pre-launch planning and continuing through post-launch support.
• Identify and recruit pet care businesses (e.g., dog daycares, boarding facilities, groomers, veterinary clinics) to join the Leash platform.
• Build strong, trust-based relationships with partner locations and become their go-to contact for everything Leash.
• Conduct in-person visits to support onboarding, train staff, and install marketing materials to drive customer adoption.
• Execute co-marketing efforts with partners to boost visibility and user growth within each market.
• Collaborate with internal teams (operations, marketing, tech) to ensure smooth handoffs and feedback loops from the field.
• Track partner engagement, provide local insights, and advocate for improvements based on partner needs.

What You Bring

• 2–5 years of experience in business development, partnerships, territory management, or a similar client-facing role.
• Proven ability to open new markets, build partnerships, and hit growth targets with minimal oversight.
• Confident communicator and relationship builder, comfortable talking to everyone from business owners to frontline staff.
• Highly organized with strong follow-through—able to juggle multiple markets, partnerships, and timelines.
• Comfortable with regional travel, including frequent in-market visits.
• Passionate about pets and/or experience within the pet care industry (a big plus).
