Marketing Specialist

About the Role Our client is a US-based private real estate investment firm operating within a diversified holding group. They are hiring a Marketing Specialist to execute hands-on digital marketing work across SEO, Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), content optimization, and social media — under the direction of an experienced Marketing Director who already has the strategy in place and is invested in mentoring the right hire. This is a tactical, execution-focused role. The Marketing Director sets priorities, defines the keyword work, and shapes the editorial direction; you bring the daily craft — writing, optimizing, scheduling, posting, monitoring, and reporting. You will work alongside an outsourced technical SEO partner, who handles the technical stack, so your focus stays on the on-page, content, AEO, and social work where execution quality compounds. Social scheduling currently runs through Feedbird, and the team is open to improvements you observe over time. The work is not high-volume content churn. The audience the firm serves is sophisticated — investors who read carefully before they invest — which means content quality matters more than content quantity. The hire who succeeds here treats every page and every post as something worth doing well, asks good questions when direction is unclear, and brings curiosity to the craft. In your first 90 days, you will have shipped consistent social content across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube; optimized at least one priority page for Google Featured Snippets and AI answer engines; built a working rhythm with the Marketing Director on content briefs and feedback cycles; and delivered a clean weekly read on performance using Google Search Console and SEMrush. This role has a clear progression path. Strong execution and judgment over time open the door to broader scope and greater ownership.
