Strategy and Operations

We’re looking for a Digital Growth Marketing Manager to own and scale Realm’s marketing engine across content, SEO, PR, and digital growth.

This is a hands-on, highly analytical role for someone who can combine creativity with operational excellence. You’ll be responsible for developing compelling homeowner and contractor-focused content, coordinating multiple external agencies, and ensuring every digital marketing initiative contributes measurable business results.

You’ll own the day-to-day execution of Realm’s marketing strategy while continuously improving our acquisition channels, organic search presence, and earned media. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys moving between strategy and execution - planning campaigns one moment, reviewing SEO performance the next, coordinating a video shoot in the afternoon, and using AI tools to improve workflows throughout the day.

This is not a traditional digital growth role. We’re looking for someone who is equally comfortable analyzing Search Console data, reviewing creative assets, writing a PR brief, directing agency partners, and identifying new opportunities to drive homeowner acquisition.

This is a full-time, Los Angeles or New York City Role.

The Job to Be Done

Your mandate is to build one of the most trusted homeowner brands while creating a marketing engine that consistently drives qualified demand.

This includes:

• Growing Realm’s organic traffic, brand awareness, and homeowner engagement.
• Managing external agencies across SEO, PR, content, creative, social media, and paid marketing.
• Producing high-quality content that educates homeowners and reinforces Realm’s expertise.
• Building scalable systems that leverage AI to improve marketing speed and quality.
• Measuring every initiative and continuously improving marketing performance through data.

About Realm
