Responsibilities Enterprise Communications Strategy Develop and execute a comprehensive communications strategy aligned with company growth goals and multi‑state expansion. Establish a scalable communications infrastructure that supports increasing demand for agent- and listing‑level PR nationwide.

Own the annual communications narrative and serve as the architect of what the brand's story looks like over the next 3–5 years. Own and manage the communications P&L, budget, and vendor expenses — making strategic decisions about where resources are allocated and what is worth investing in. Agent, Listing & State‑Level PR Infrastructure Design and implement a structured, repeatable PR process to support agents, major listings, and state‑level initiatives across all markets. Build a national framework for agent and listing publicity that can scale as the company expands into new states.

Create a coordinated approach that connects corporate‑level storytelling with local market narratives. Establish measurable benchmarks for PR performance at the agent, listing, and state levels. Develop and execute marketing strategy that extends brand reach beyond traditional media, identifying the right voices and platforms for each market. Cultivate relationships with reporters, editors, and publications in each new market the company enters — not just national outlets, but the local and regional press that matters to agents and buyers on the ground. Field Enablement & Market Amplification Partner closely with Local Leaders and Brokers of Record to identify compelling agent stories, marquee listings, and market trends. Implement systems that allow successful PR campaigns in one state to be replicated across other markets.

Create clear, inspiring communications that align employees, agents, and leadership across multiple states. Develop messaging playbooks and leadership talking points to ensure consistency across markets. Lead crisis communication planning and execution for internal audiences.

Brand & Reputation Management Monitor public perception and proactively manage brand reputation across all operating states. Lead crisis communications planning and response for external audiences at both the corporate and local levels. Ensure compliance with regulatory and state‑level real estate communication standards where applicable. Build and lead a high‑performing communications team structured to support multi‑state growth.
