Job Description
Are you a marketing expert and a proactive problem solver? Can you juggle the demands of being the main point of contact between the agency and clients, while immersing yourself in your clients' businesses, understanding the agency business model, and staying on top of the latest and greatest in marketing innovation?
Do you have a service-minded approach to forging relationships, the ability to develop big ideas, an open mind, and an interest in residential real estate? Do you love to learn, grow and be challenged, but can also remain calm under pressure? Would you describe yourself as driven, yet humble?
If so, you could be NDG's next
Marketing Manager .
And in addition to joining our talented and dynamic team, you'll have the opportunity to collaborate with some of the nation's leading home builders and developers.
At NDG, we believe that home buyers need a trusted guide to truly help them navigate their new home search, which is often stressful and crowded with choices, competition, and noise. So we innovate effective marketing strategies that challenge our clients - and ourselves - to better serve today's home buyer, as their guide, because helping people find their dream home means we are helping them improve their life.
You'll work remotely, with the potential for occasional travel to in-person meetings, and despite the distance, you'll need to understand both the client's business and our own. You have to keep things moving smoothly. All strategy and creative concepts run through the Marketing Manager, so we need someone who knows what really works in marketing. We need you to ensure we're giving the client not only what they want, but more importantly, what they need.
If you're interested in building award-winning marketing strategies for clients in a life-changing industry - as well as being part of a service-minded team that never settles for average - this could be the place for you.
