Section 1: Job Description
The Marketing Director will be expected to develop, grow, and lead a team of marketing and creative professionals within the umbrella of a real estate brokerage , with that structure rapidly evolving into an independent marketing agency. Project management and communication skills are absolutely critical to success. This team will provide a variety of services and functions at the company level (for the brokerage) as well as paid services to our independent contractors, vendors, and strategic partners.
The Marketing Director must be experienced and adept at a variety of content creation strategies including copywriting, graphic design, and video, as well as possess a deep understanding of where/how to place that content in order to generate inbound leads for the brokerage. This team will be responsible for building and maintaining sales funnels to generate buyer, seller, and real estate agent (recruit) leads for the brokerage. A deep knowledge of both organic and paid strategies will be necessary for success.
Additionally, a strong design and creative skill set is required to provide oversight of brand consistency and content cohesion, not only for the brokerage assets but the contractors and partners we will be providing these services to/for. The service offering for agents and partners will grow over time and the scope will shift over time, but the initial vision is that they will include: brand creation and management, "done for you" property marketing, new construction and new development packages, website creation, concierge services for clients, and ongoing campaign management as well as social media management.
Last but not least I will emphasize that the right candidate for this position will have a hunger to grow this team into its own operating unit and revenue center.

The opportunity in this role and in the future of this team is limited only by the imagination.
