Job Description:

McCurdy Real Estate & Auction is seeking a full-time, on-site Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) who can take McCurdy to its next level of growth by leading our marketing strategy for real estate, brand awareness, digital campaigns, seller acquisition, and buyer engagement. This role will be central to scaling our pipeline of inventory, elevating our brand profile, and ensuring we continue to set the gold standard in real estate marketing and the auction industry.

You will lead a high-performing marketing department to drive comprehensive marketing strategy and execution. This individual must be a strategic thinker, creative problem-solver, and proven leader with a passion for marketing. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment, can confidently navigate rapidly shifting priorities and constructive feedback, and consistently delivers high-quality, deadline-driven work. The role focuses on team leadership, brand development, strategic market analysis, and cross-channel campaign oversight to generate leads and position McCurdy as a market leader in the real estate and auction industry.

Manage budgets, negotiate vendor contracts, and ensure optimal resource allocation across all marketing initiatives
Partner with the tech team to integrate marketing data with CRM and auction platforms
Introduce marketing automation and lead scoring workflows to support agent outreach and pipeline conversion
Measure and analyze campaign performance by tracking ROI and KPIs to guide initiatives, and present results back to executive leadership to inform future strategies
Manage and mentor an eight-person marketing team and work closely with a five-person technology team, ensuring effective collaboration and professional growth
Recruit new talent in creative, content, or data as needed
Foster a high-performance, idea-driven culture focused on results and continuous learning
Represent McCurdy at industry events (e.g., National Auction Association), charity galas, and strategic partnerships
Lead PR, earned media, and awards submissions to elevate our authority and visibility
Partner with benefit auction clients to maximize fundraising impact through branded event materials and campaigns
