Marketing Manager

Our client is a US-based private real estate investment firm operating within a diversified holding group. They market institutional-grade real estate and private credit opportunities to high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and self-directed accredited investors — a sophisticated audience that responds to trust, depth, and credibility, not consumer-style marketing.

They are hiring a Marketing Manager to own digital marketing execution across SEO, Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), content optimization, and social media. This is an execution-led role, not a strategy-led one. The Marketing Director already has the overarching strategy in place and is genuinely invested in mentoring the right candidate into greater ownership over time. You bring strong execution skills, a self-starter mindset, and curiosity. They bring the strategic direction, the existing keyword work, the content clusters already in motion, and a clear path to grow into broader scope.

You will work alongside an outsourced technical SEO partner who handles the technical side of the stack. Your focus is on-page SEO, content optimization, AEO initiatives, and social media execution across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube. You will use Google Search Console, SEMrush, and Moz to monitor performance, identify opportunities, and report what's working. Social scheduling currently runs through Feedbird, with openness to improvements you recommend.

The work matters because the audience is sophisticated. Content that ranks for "best high-yield real estate fund" but reads like generic SEO copy gets dismissed in the first sentence. Featured Snippets that win the click but mislead the visitor erode trust the firm has spent years building. The hire who succeeds here treats SEO and AEO as trust-building work, not just traffic work — and brings craft to every piece of content and every social post.

In your first 90 days, you will build on the existing keyword strategy with at least one new SEO/AEO-optimized content cluster, optimize priority pages for Featured Snippets and AI answer engines, tighten the social cadence across the four platforms, and deliver a written read on what's working and what to test next using Google Search Console and SEMrush data.
