Company Description

UFG, Inc.

Business Advisor Field Support Specialist - Signarama

Do you know the sign business, enjoy working with people, and like being on the road?

If you’re a problem-solver, a people-person, and someone who knows what it takes to run a successful sign business, this could be a great fit.

We’re looking for a Business Advisor / Field Support Specialist to work directly with Signarama franchise owners across your assigned territory. This is a hands-on role where you’ll spend time in the stores, work alongside owners and their teams, identify opportunities, solve problems, and help businesses become more profitable and successful.

You’ll wear a lot of hats — coach, advisor, problem-solver, trainer, and sometimes just the person who can walk into a store and say, “Okay, let’s figure this out.”

About United Franchise Group:

For nearly 40 years, United Franchise Group has been helping entrepreneurs build successful businesses. Today, UFG has more than 1,600 locations across 60 countries, but our focus remains the same — supporting our franchise owners and helping them succeed.

We believe the best support happens when you understand the business, build relationships with the people running it, and are willing to roll up your sleeves and help.

Job Description

As a Business Advisor / Field Support Specialist, you’ll travel throughout your assigned territory visiting Signarama locations and working directly with franchise owners and their teams.

Your goal is simple: help our franchisees run better businesses.

• Visit franchise locations to understand what’s working and where there are opportunities to improve.
