Marketing Manager

Marketing Manager – Residential Real Estate

Location: New York City, NY
Compensation: 125,000–150,000
Industry: Residential Real Estate / Brokerage

About the Opportunity

Upward On is partnering with a well-established, full-service NYC residential real estate brokerage to identify a talented, creative, and hands-on Marketing Manager.

With more than 20 years in the NYC market, multiple offices, and a team of over 200 real estate professionals, our client has built a strong reputation across residential leasing, sales, and property marketing.

We are seeking a Marketing Manager who combines strong creative instincts, a sharp eye for design, and a brokerage-minded approach to marketing. This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys both developing strategy and rolling up their sleeves to execute it.

The ideal candidate understands the fast-paced NYC residential real estate market and knows how to create marketing that drives visibility, generates leads, and ultimately helps brokers win business.

Key Responsibilities

Branding & Creative Direction

• Lead branding and creative initiatives across the company and its property portfolio.

• Design high-quality marketing collateral, pitch books, presentations, and property marketing materials.

• Maintain brand consistency across all marketing channels.

Digital Marketing

• Manage company and property websites, digital campaigns, and social media.

• Develop and execute digital marketing strategies that drive engagement and lead generation.

• Identify opportunities to strengthen the firm's online presence.

Creative Production

• Coordinate photography, videography, floor plans, virtual staging, signage, and other marketing assets.

• Produce polished, professional marketing materials in-house.

• Work with outside creative partners when needed.

Market Research & Strategy

• Prepare competitive analyses, rental surveys, and market reports.

• Support brokers with marketing strategies, listing presentations, and property positioning.

• Stay informed on NYC residential market trends and competitive activity.

Project & Vendor Management

• Oversee multiple marketing projects, budgets, and deadlines.

• Manage outside vendors while maintaining a hands-on role in creative execution.

• Ensure timely delivery of high-quality marketing materials.

Marketing Infrastructure

• Develop scalable marketing processes, templates, and systems.

• Identify opportunities to improve efficiency and consistency across the brokerage.

• Build tools and resources that support agents and leadership.

Qualifications

• 3–5 years of relevant marketing experience, preferably within NYC residential real estate.

• Strong graphic design and creative production capabilities.

• Excellent design sensibility with the ability to produce polished marketing materials independently.

• Familiarity with NYC residential leasing, sales, and rental market dynamics.

• Experience managing digital marketing, websites, and social media.

• Strong organizational skills and the ability to juggle multiple projects and deadlines.

• A proactive, resourceful, and solutions-oriented approach.

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate with brokers, leadership, and outside vendors.

Who Will Succeed in This Role?

We're looking for a creative marketer who thinks like a broker.

Someone who understands that great marketing isn't just about beautiful materials — it's about winning listings, attracting clients, and generating business.

This is not a role for someone who primarily delegates creative work to agencies. Our client wants a true hands-on marketing professional who can develop a strategy, execute creative projects independently, and bring in outside resources when necessary.

The right person will be equally comfortable designing a compelling pitch book, launching a property marketing campaign, and working directly with brokerage leadership to support business growth.

Compensation

125,000–150,000 annually, commensurate with experience.
