The successful candidate will play a key role in driving brand visibility, lead generation, and business growth, with a strong focus on the real estate sector.

  • Highly organised and detail-oriented

  • Proactive, accountable, and self-directed

  • Confident communicator and decision-maker

  • Comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment

Why This Role Matters

This is a critical role within the business and will serve as the central owner of all marketing activities. The successful candidate will be expected to take full control of the marketing portfolio and deliver measurable results with minimal supervision.

Requirements

  • Relevant Marketing degree, diploma, or equivalent qualification

  • Alternatively, substantial experience in a similar senior marketing role

  • Minimum 5 years’ marketing experience

  • Minimum 3 years’ experience in a senior marketing management role

  • Experience within real estate, property, or professional services will be highly advantageous
