• Job Description

  Req#: R10091

  The Amherst Group's companies are comprised of leading real estate investment and advisory firms with a mission to transform the way real estate is owned, financed and managed. Amherst leverages its proprietary data, analytics, technology, and decades of experience to seek solutions for a fragmented, slow-to-evolve real estate ecosystem and to materially improve the experience for residents, buyers, sellers, communities, and investors. Today Amherst has over 1000 employees and $14.1 billion in assets under management.

  Over the past decade, Amherst has scaled its platform to become one of the largest operators of single-family assets and has acquired, renovated, and leased more than 46,000 homes across 32 markets in the U.S. The firm delivers customized, stabilized cash-flowing portfolios of assets to its investors, wrapped in all the ongoing services required to manage, own, and finance the asset including property management, portfolio management, and a full capital markets team. In addition to its single-family rental platform, Amherst’s debt business pursues two distinct credit strategies in mortgage-backed securities and commercial real estate lending. Over its 25-year history, Amherst has developed a deep bench of research and technology talent, and leverages data and analytics at every stage in the asset lifecycle to improve operations and preserve long-term value for our investors and the more than 188,000 residents the firm has served.

  We’re looking for a Growth Marketing Specialist with 3–5 years of experience to lead demand generation and conversion efforts across the leasing funnel in the fast-growing Single-Family Rental (SFR) industry. This role is ideal for a marketer who thrives at the intersection of data, operations, and strategy — and understands how to move prospective residents from search to signed lease efficiently and cost-effectively. The ideal candidate has a natural curiosity about real estate and the related consumer behavior for single-family renters.

  • Key Responsibilities

  • Monitor and optimize performance across the full funnel: lead → tour → application → lease executed.

  • Manage daily reporting and optimization of lead nurturing and acquisition efforts across digital platforms (Paid Search, email/SMS, syndication partners/channels, and offline sources)

  • Develop and execute A/B tests for creative, CTAs, landing pages, and listing descriptions to increase conversion rates and lead quality.

  • Partner with internal teams (e.g., product, leasing teams) to align campaigns with availability, market seasonality, and leasing priorities.

  • Track and improve cost per lead (CPL) and cost per lease (CPLx) while increasing overall marketing ROI.

  • Manage UTM tracking, CRM flows, and attribution reporting to ensure accurate lead source data.

  • Leverage market-level insights to inform localized content

  • Analyze performance data and generate clear insights for weekly and monthly reporting.

  What we are looking for:

  • 3–5 years of hands-on experience in growth or performance marketing.

  • Demonstrated success driving measurable lift in leads and improved conversion rates

  • Strong understanding of KPIs and funnel metrics, with ability to identify and act on performance trends.

  • Excellent analytical skills — comfortable working in Excel/Sheets, dashboards, and performance reporting tools like Tableau.

  • Ability to collaborate across teams and manage multiple projects and timelines simultaneously.

  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, test-and-learn environm*ent* where priorities shift based on performance and leasing goals. We move quickly!

  Nice to haves:

  • Understanding of SEO/GEO best practices for listing optimization and neighborhood-level content.

  • Ability to write or edit copy and marketing content that aligns with both brand and performance goals.

  • Experience with content management tools such as Strapi or WordPress.

  • Experience working with or in Salesforce Marketing Cloud.

  Our full-time employee benefits include:

  • A competitive compensation package, annual bonus, 401k match

  • Flexible PTO including 7 paid holidays, 1 floating holiday, and 1 volunteer day

  • Employer-paid benefits (medical, dental, vision, health savings account)

  • Professional career development and reimbursement

  • Up to 16 weeks paid maternity leave; up to 4 weeks of paid parental leave

  • Backup childcare offered through Bright Horizons
