Role Summary

The Opportunity

The Vice President of Brand will lead the strategy, development, and execution of RealManage's brand across every external touchpoint.

This leader will oversee five critical areas: online reputation management, brand strategy and creative, social media, public relations, and digital paid media agency management. Online reputation is a top priority, because it directly influences whether prospective communities choose RealManage and whether existing clients advocate for us.

We're looking for someone who understands that a great brand is more than a logo, campaign, or marketing message. It's the experience we deliver, the trust we earn, and the stories people tell about us.

This role leads a team of marketing professionals and agency partners, and partners closely with Marketing, Sales, Operations, and executive leadership to build a brand that drives awareness, consideration, advocacy, and revenue growth.

The ideal candidate pairs strategic and creative judgment with operational discipline and has a track record of building brand programs that deliver measurable business results.

Key Responsibilities

Online Reputation Management & Advocacy

• Own the national online reputation management strategy across Google, Yelp, BBB, and other relevant review and reputation platforms.
• Develop and scale a reputation program that consistently generates authentic, positive reviews and strengthens our presence across local markets.

• Partner closely with Operations and local market leaders to embed reputation management into the day-to-day client and resident experience.
• Develop scalable tools, processes, training, and incentive programs that empower employees to deliver exceptional experiences and encourage customer advocacy.
• Identify reputation risks, emerging issues, and opportunities to improve customer sentiment and brand perception.

Brand Strategy, Creative & Design

• Own and activate RealManage's brand strategy, positioning, messaging, and visual identity across all external channels.
• Lead the rollout and ongoing evolution of our brand architecture, ensuring a consistent brand experience nationally and locally.
• Translate our brand promise into storytelling, campaigns, and experiences that resonate with board members, residents, and prospective communities.
• Oversee all brand creative and design, including visual identity, brand guidelines, marketing collateral, digital assets, presentations, and campaigns.
• Establish brand governance that enables local markets while protecting national brand consistency.
• Support brand integration initiatives as RealManage continues to grow through acquisitions and geographic expansion.

Social Media Strategy & Engagement

• Develop and execute an integrated social media strategy across LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and other relevant platforms that builds brand awareness, credibility, and engagement.
• Establish a content approach that highlights our people, communities, client successes, thought leadership, and culture.
• Build programs that encourage local markets and employees to become authentic brand ambassadors.
• Identify opportunities to engage directly with community members and showcase the positive impact RealManage has on the communities we serve.
• Oversee social listening, community engagement, performance analytics, and ongoing channel optimization.

Public Relations & Thought Leadership

• Develop and lead a proactive national public relations strategy that elevates RealManage's visibility, credibility, and leadership within the industry.
• Build relationships with relevant media outlets, industry publications, influencers, and strategic partners.
• Position RealManage executives as thought leaders through media opportunities, speaking engagements, contributed articles, and industry commentary.
• Oversee corporate announcements, awards, recognition programs, and earned media initiatives.
• Partner with executive leadership, Legal, and Operations on external communications and reputation-sensitive matters.
• Develop clear measurement frameworks for earned media, share of voice, brand visibility, and thought leadership impact.

Digital Paid Media & Agency Management

• Provide strategic leadership and oversight of RealManage's digital paid media agency, ensuring investments align with company growth objectives and go-to-market priorities.
• Partner with the agency to develop and optimize paid search, paid social, and other digital advertising strategies that drive qualified leads and pipeline growth.
• Oversee agency performance, accountability, budgets, and return on advertising investment.
• Collaborate with Sales, Marketing Operations, and local market leaders to prioritize markets, optimize spending, and maximize business impact.
• Ensure paid media campaigns are aligned with RealManage's brand positioning, messaging, and creative standards.
• Use performance data and market insights to continuously improve campaign effectiveness, lead quality, and marketing ROI.

Team Leadership & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Lead, mentor, and elevate an established team of marketing professionals across brand, creative, social media, public relations, and reputation management.
• Foster a high-performing, collaborative culture focused on creativity, accountability, continuous improvement, and measurable results.
• Establish clear priorities, performance expectations, and development opportunities for team members.
• Partner with Demand Generation, Sales, and Revenue Operations to ensure brand investments support pipeline creation and revenue growth.
