Communications Manager

The Opportunity Ready to lead dynamic communications that tell our story and drive impact for a 2,300-member organization? We're seeking an energetic, independent Communications Manager to execute all communications for TBR and CATRS (our MLS technology subsidiary), crafting compelling messages for REALTOR® members, technology users, affiliates, and the general public. The CEO and COO set strategic direction and priorities; you own the tactical execution across channels that connect and inform. You'll have autonomy to make day‑to‑day decisions, collaborate across departments, measure what matters, and see your work create immediate impact. This is hands‑on work with direct access to leadership; a pivotal role for someone passionate about meaningful communication. What You’ll Do Execute strategic communications across all channels: newsletters, website, social media, press releases, and member updates. Craft clear, compelling messages tailored for diverse audiences. Build and manage media relationships; write, edit, and distribute news releases, media advisories, and press materials; coordinate outreach with local journalists and media outlets. Create and manage editorial calendars, content deployment strategies, and messaging frameworks that align organizational priorities with member, affiliate, and public‑facing content. Measure results and optimize: build KPI dashboards, report performance to leadership, and use data to refine tactics and recommend strategic adjustments. Oversee digital platforms and ensure compliance with CAN-SPAM and data privacy regulations. Collaborate with coordinators to ensure brand quality and consistency; develop crisis communication protocols for rapid response. Coordinate multimedia and video content production; operate basic cameras and edit accessible video formats for rapid distribution. About You 5-7 years in communications, marketing, or association management with a proven track record executing successful campaigns. Exceptional writing and editing skills; ability to craft compelling narratives for diverse audiences; strong proofreading and attention to detail. Experience with media relations, press inquiries, and journalist outreach. Proficiency with CMS, email platforms, social media, Microsoft Office, and design tools (Adobe or Canva). Strong analytical skills; comfort with data and KPIs. Independent self‑starter who executes without constant oversight; makes sound tactical decisions and collaborates well across teams. Video editing experience preferred, or willingness to learn basic multimedia workflows. Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Communications, Public Relations, or related field (or equivalent experience).

Exceptional benefits: 100% Capital Health Plan (premier local provider), 100% Dental, vision, life insurance, 401K match up to 10%, and 10 days vacation and 10 days sick leave annually.
