An upmarket Residential and Lifestyle Estate are looking to appoint a talented, outgoing Communications Manager to drive the internal communications strategy of the Estate.

This is not your run-of-the-mill Corporate Communications role - it requires you as the Communications Manager to relate to the Lifestyle the Estate has to offer.

You will be responsible for producing high quality content that engages residents and builds community spirit, a sense of belonging and enhances the brand recognition of this leading residential Estate.

In order to achieve this, it is essential that you truly empathize with your target market and their sense of values.

It is essential that you are able to buy into and, through developing effective executive communications, maintain and nurture the the favourable image the Estate has built through gathering and articulating the voice of residents.

You will be responsible for increasing awareness and developing an enviable estate image.

This will involve, but is certainly not limited to:
Developing effective communication strategies, programs and campaigns in line with the objectives as set by the HOA
Building relationships with residents to grow estate and community awareness
Developing and implementing organizational publicity strategies for the HOA
Be the face and voice of the HOA at social and sporting events held on the estate
Maintain the estate's corporate image and identity, which includes the use of logos and signage around the estate

Design and review a variety of awareness and promotional materials
Communications plans, including content calendars, target messaging, budgets, timelines etc.
Create content, edit and update ALL marketing collateral - across all platforms, including print, digital and other media channels

As mentioned, this role is not limited to the above - but tick all of the boxes mentioned, and we will have much more to discuss.

Please forward your CV ASAP
