The ideal candidate is both strategic and execution-focused, with the ability to translate data into clear actions and measurable results. This is not a strategy-only or reporting-only role.

Develop and optimize landing pages, forms, calls to action, and digital conversion paths. Support website management, SEO, local search visibility, and ongoing content optimization. Create and manage email marketing, lead-nurture, remarketing, and re-engagement campaigns. Partner with Sales and Operations to improve speed to lead, inquiry follow-up, CRM utilization, and funnel conversion. Analyze performance across inquiries, visits, deposits, move-ins, occupancy, and revenue. Develop creative briefs and provide direction to designers, developers, videographers, agencies, and content creators. Test advertising messages, audience strategies, creative concepts, offers, and landing pages. Build dashboards and reports that clearly communicate results, opportunities, and recommended actions. Improve campaign attribution, call tracking, and the connection between marketing activity and occupancy results. Identify emerging digital trends, platforms, and technologies that can improve performance and efficiency. Use AI tools to improve campaign analysis, content creation, lead response, personalization, reporting, and workflow automation. Manage multiple communities, campaigns, priorities, and deadlines with a strong sense of ownership.

Experience with CRM platforms, marketing automation, lead nurturing, and digital attribution. Knowledge of WordPress or similar website content-management systems. Experience with call tracking, offline conversion tracking, and connecting marketing activity to revenue and occupancy. Experience directing external agencies, designers, developers, and content creators. IDEAL CANDIDATE The ideal candidate is analytical, creative, and action-oriented. They do not simply recommend changes — they implement them, measure the results, and adjust quickly. They are comfortable moving between campaign strategy, advertising platforms, website performance, CRM workflows, creative direction, and reporting. They think like an owner, focus on measurable business outcomes, and are motivated by building scalable marketing systems that generate qualified leads and support occupancy growth.

Examples of campaigns personally managed, including budget, lead volume, conversion results, revenue, or ROAS.
