Who We Are
SmartRent (NYSE: SMRT) is revolutionizing how people live and work with the industry’s only end-to-end platform designed for the rental housing industry. By uniting purpose-built software, integrated hardware and full implementation and support in one ecosystem, we help owners and operators simplify operations, cut costs and deliver exceptional resident experiences. Recognized by Deloitte, HousingWire and the PropTech Breakthrough Awards, SmartRent is shaping the future of property technology and redefining what it means to make rental housing smarter.
Job Description
The Vice President, Marketing is SmartRent’s senior marketing executive and the owner of our entire marketing strategy: brand, narrative, digital, demand, product marketing, and the team and partners who bring it to market. You’ll define how SmartRent shows up to customers, partners, and the multifamily industry, and you’ll be accountable for marketing’s contribution to pipeline, bookings, and revenue growth.
This is a role for a builder who thinks like an executive and still knows how to get into the work. SmartRent is entering its next chapter, and we’re looking for a leader who has elevated a brand and modernized a company’s digital presence before, and who can do it again at the pace and with the rigor a public company requires. You’ll set the vision, make the investment calls, and earn the trust of the CEO, CRO, and executive team as a true strategic partner.
You’ll inherit a talented core team and agency partners, with the opportunity to shape and build the organization around you as the function grows. We value leaders who create outsized impact with a lean team, invest deliberately, and scale headcount when results justify it.
This role reports to the Chief Revenue Officer, serves as a member of the extended leadership team, and is based in the Phoenix metro area (preferred).
