Communications Manager
Overview:
Mortgage communications is cool!
Well, maybe not everywhere. But it’s cool at Movement.
Movement is NOT your average mortgage company. Our execs traded suits and ties for T-shirts. Most of our profits go to a foundation to uplift underserved communities in the U.S. and around the globe. We believe in our work and, if we’re totally honest, we have a lot of fun doing it.
See? Mortgage comms can be cool. But enough about us. Let’s talk about you.
You’re in the communications game. Let’s take a wild guess: you were the “line leader” a lot as a kid. You’re a know-it-all – not in a bad way, but in the “you’re the one everybody goes to when they need help” kinda way. You’re the type of person who tends to memorize, organize, and strategize. Oh, and you’re detail-oriented enough to have noticed (and be mildly irritated by) the grammatical errors we’ve made in this paragraph (on purpose, of course).
We are looking for a seasoned comms leader. Someone good with the media and better with an executive team. A spokesperson who can handle a feel-good, foundation-driven story as well as a full-on crisis. Someone with killer skills in sales copy and copy editing. A hands-on leader who can guide internal, external and social comms strategies in a blisteringly-fast environment.
TL;DR: We’re on the hunt for a comms unicorn who loves to problem-solve and wants to be a part of the best department in an amazing company with a noble purpose. Sound like something you could be interested in?
