Role
Who you are
- 10+ years of PR experience where you’ve owned both consumer-focused and corporate-focused PR campaigns, wrangled creative teams, and progressed the influence of innovative brands with a lot of independence and accountability
- Project management chops—you’re a pro at juggling multiple priorities without breaking a sweat, and know how to think through all the critical details of a big moment (timing, targets, messaging, risk mitigation, influencers, etc.)
- Mortgage, real estate or financial services industry experience is ideal, as is experience with early stage startups
- You are meticulous in planning and execution, have a command presence and have a natural sense of urgency
What the job involves
- We’re hunting for an iconic Director of Public Relations to grow a brand that redefines an industry and advantages homebuyers
- This leader will be a creative problem solver who cares little about conventions; you are driven to be a truth teller who drives exceptional results and great leaps forward
- Asking hard questions, taking risks, and getting big things done is the purpose
- You’ll be partnering closely with our VP marketing and CEO who fancy themselves communications savants (good luck with those two :-)
- You’ll lead our earned media strategy—crafting the story of a company that wants to fight for customers by driving honesty and transparency in home finance, working closely with our CEO and executive thought leaders
- You’ll co-create big campaigns with our creative and marketing team, finding smart and provocative ways to turn Tomo Mortgage into a household name
- You’ll run media relations—building on your exciting relationships with journalists and thought leaders, ensuring that we’re connecting with the right people to expand our influence
- Budgets and deadlines? You’ve got it under control
Our take
Tomo is a fintech startup looking to revolutionize the real estate industry, which has been lagging behind other crucial modern sectors in terms of leveraging the potential of new technological developments. Tomo’s ambition is strong, and whilst it's keeping its horizons broad, the company is starting with a mortgage and transaction platform aimed at making the transaction process smoother for both estate agents and consumers.
The founding members of Tomo are both former executives at the real estate database giant Zillow, and their impressive seed funding includes backing from Trulia co-founder Pete Flint and Zillow CEO Spencer Rascoff. This level of confidence and experience puts the company in good stead within the increasingly competitive real estate tech industry. What's more, Tomo is smart to place equal emphasis on the buyer as well as the seller - this distinguishes its platform from more seller-centric offerings like Zillow Offer and OpenDoor.
With impressive seed funding and investor confidence, coupled with experienced leadership and a potentially massive market, Tomo is well-positioned to deliver on its ambitious promise.
