About the Role

We're looking for a Marketing Manager to help shape and elevate our brand ecosystem as we scale across multiple business lines and geographies. This is a ground-up role for a builder: someone who loves refining brand identity, creating compelling content, and developing scalable marketing systems, while rolling up their sleeves to execute as a DOO.

• You’ll build and steward a growing portfolio of brands, including:
• Residential properties
• A SaaS platform
• Hosted innovation & community programming

What You’ll Do:

• Define brand architecture & narrative across CRE’s expanding portfolio
• Create high-quality marketing collateral (web, one-pagers, pitch decks, signage, building marketing assets)
• Own the corporate website & digital presence
• Lead SEO, digital ads, and content strategy
• Implement CRM/marketing systems and track pipeline influence
• Partner with leasing, business development, and innovation/programming teams to support growth
• Collaborate with our "scientific journalism" communications function — ensuring CRE’s credibility and thought leadership remain front and center
• If you’re energized by multi-brand orchestration, strategic storytelling, and building scalable infrastructure, you’ll thrive here.

What We’re Looking For:

• 5–7+ years full-cycle marketing experience
• Strong content, brand, and graphic design skills (Adobe Suite / Canva / Figma)
• Experience managing multiple brands/sub-brands
• Ability to establish marketing systems and processes (pipeline management, digital asset library)

Bonus Points if you have experience in

• Innovation districts, Tech Square, labs, or university-industry ecosystems
• Early-stage environments or "department of one" roles
• Cross-functional leadership and soft influence style

Why CRE?

You’ll be part of a mission-driven team shaping the future of innovation infrastructure, building spaces, programs, and stories that propel research, startups, and industry collaboration forward.

If you’re a strategic storyteller, builder, and brand steward who wants to help shape spaces and programs where innovation thrives, we’d love to meet you.
