About Trueline Brands

Trueline Brands is a visionary live entertainment company led by Michael Grozier, co-founder of House of Blues. The company focuses on operating multi-use music venues in emerging markets across the U.S. Our flagship location, Trueline Greenville, is a new downtown venue featuring a 1,700-capacity state-of-the-art music hall, a 350-capacity intimate performance room, a private membership club, and more. The venue will host national touring artists, regional and local talent, curated events, and community celebrations.

We are seeking a hands-on, execution-focused Director of Marketing to lead marketing efforts for Trueline Greenville during its launch and early growth phase. This role is ideal for a builder—someone who is equally comfortable developing strategy and personally executing the work required to bring that strategy to life.

In the first 6–9 months, this role will be highly tactical. The Director of Marketing will personally execute campaigns, build systems, create content, and manage day-to-day marketing operations while laying the foundation for future scale. Over time, as the venue grows and processes are established, this role will evolve to include greater oversight, delegation, and team leadership.

This is not a “manage-from-a-distance” role. We are looking for someone who rolls up their sleeves, takes ownership, and thrives in a fast-paced, startup-style environment.
