Job Description

Are you a traffic fanatic? Love to optimize Google Ads, Facebook Ads campaigns, and always looking to A/B test your way to higher CTR and lower CPA? Then this might just might be an instant match...


Marketing is at the core of what we do. Whether we are implementing strategies to grow our footprint, helping our customers increase exposure for their property leads, or positioning a new training course to new real estate investors who need help with their first fix & flip, marketing touches most of our projects and user experience. This means that as Digital Marketing Manager (Acquisitions), you will be responsible for setting the pace at which we grow by defining marketing strategy to support REI’s products and services and managing all our acquisition channels. You will have the opportunity to lead exciting projects and collaborate with an incredible team of highly focused, creative, and reliable colleagues (yeah, we’re really proud of our people!) You will also manage a team of marketing coordinator and interns and work closely with the Conversions & Monetization Manager.

Ongoing responsibilities include:

  • Direct, plan, and oversee marketing strategies at product and company levels
  • Manage and implement SEO strategy for all products and websites
  • Oversee strategy, implementation and optimization for paid traffic channels:
    • Google Ads
    • Bing & Yahoo Ads
    • Facebook and Instagram Ads
  • Develop social media content strategy
  • Track campaigns, build reports, present findings, and make recommendations based on KPIs (we’re big on making data-driven decisions, you should be too!)
  • Develop and maintain content strategy and editorial calendar for blog and social media
  • Develop and launch lead generation funnels
  • Manage ad buys on various platforms, such as streaming, podcasts, radio and print
  • Act as brand ambassador and spokesperson to our audience at large
  • Maintain awareness in market changes and adjust marketing strategy accordingly

Essential projects you will lead upon joining our team:

  • Audit and optimize PPC Ad campaigns and strategy (most important and where you will spend most of your time)
  • Conduct keyword research and identify top bid terms
  • Write new ad copy and set up split tests to optimize paid campaigns
  • Develop and maintain editorial calendar to support acquisition channels
  • Expand REI’s presence in offline acquisition channels such as print media and events
  • Create and oversee implementation of custom landing pages and lead magnets
  • Collaborate on website design and optimization

Qualifications

At REI, we rely on data-driven marketing to inform direction and focus of the business. So while we value creative thinking, it is also important that you know how to use data analysis and metrics to measure performance and establish goals. This is especially important for this position, as analytics will play an essential part in launching and maintaining successful pay-per-click and SEO acquisition strategies. The candidate with the right mix of creative to objective thinking will thrive in this position.


Position REQUIREMENTS:

  • 3+ years of hands-on experience in Digital Marketing Acquisition (especially Google Ads/Adwords and Facebook Ads)
  • Experience leading teams and building a productive, collaborative work culture
  • Strong analytical skills
  • Excellent writing skills and attention to detail
  • Ability to stay organized and execute long-term projects
  • Local to Houston, TX


Strong Preference:

  • Basic web authoring ability (HTML, CSS, PHP)
  • Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite and design concepts
  • Experience building and optimizing sales funnels
  • Experience in a SaaS or web-based service environment
  • Hands-on experience with information marketing

Personality REQUIREMENTS:

  • Skilled Leader: We need somebody who can devise a plan and execute it by making sure everyone else sticks to it.
  • Quick Thinker: You must be able to think on your feet. You will be managing a $800k+ ad budget and a little mistake can cost the company tens of thousands of dollars, so we’re looking for someone who is able to analyze the situation, consider the available options and repercussions, and make decisions.
  • Doer: You will be developing projects independently.  Although we enjoy collaborating, we are not a culture of handholding and micromanaging. You should be action-driven, not a procrastinator.
  • Passion: You absolutely ADORE what you do. This is important... No clock watchers! Your focus needs to be on getting the job done--not getting the job done before the whistle blows. We are big proponents of work-life balance, and we live by that at REI. However, sometimes we have to sit and finish something after everyone is asleep so that we can push on our goals and deadlines... So you may also have to do the same. You will be at the leadership level for the company, and this is a big way to inspire commitment in others.
  • Grit: You know you can do anything you put your mind to and you will get there no matter how hard you have to work at it.
  • Accountability: You take ownership of your work, no matter how big or how small.
  • Curiosity: You know there’s always more to know, and a good day is when you’ve learned something new.
  • Team player: You understand that we're a team and success is a company KPI, NOT and individual accolade.
  • Trustworthy: You will be responsible for how we grow as a business in a big way, and we will rely on you for advice and expertise, so it’s important that we lead with trust and transparency.
