Job Description

As a Senior Marketing Strategist, you will work with our growing list of property manager partners to help them build out a marketing strategy with the goal of getting vacation rentals homeowners to sign up for the partner’s property management services.

This plan will need to address four primary areas:

• TAM – You will need to evaluate how big the partner’s total addressable market is, how much available targeting data we have, how fast the partner wants to grow, and determine their goals for customer acquisition costs.
• Messaging – You will work with the partner to gather information on what differentiates them in their market, as well as help them develop a list of offers and risk reversals that can be used throughout their marketing assets. During this process, you may need to coach partners on ways to better position themselves.
• Content Planning – You will build a quarterly plan that includes concepts for creatives, and assign work to a group of project managers that will work directly with our in-house copy, design and digital advertising teams.
• Definition of Success – During the process, you will work with the partner to come to a realistic definition of success for the campaign.
