Marketing Manager

At Smart City, we are all about driving results for our clients - from Apartments to Renters to Agents. Our marketing team talks the talk and walks the walk.

We’re looking for a full-time marketing team member who will lead our Houston marketing initiatives to drive leads for our apartment locators. Someone who knows how to drive results through creating awesome social content, writing blogs, and launching successful email campaigns.

Smart City is a Real Estate Brokerage that specializes in finding people apartments. On top of that, we are also dedicated to building an amazing team of humans capable of doing things we never thought possible.

We’ve built our brand with a team of marketing experts in-house who know the industry, know properties, and know how to talk to renters. Now we’re looking for another marketing genius to join our team that is local to Houston.
