Job Description

Marketing & SEO Strategist

Location: Richmond, VA (In-office position - must be able to reliably commute to office)

Compensation: $55,000–$65,000 annually (based on experience).

Peak Property Management is seeking a self-driven, highly curious, early-career marketer who is passionate about building brand awareness, driving digital visibility, and helping a fast-growing company dominate multiple markets across Virginia. This is an ideal role for someone with 1–3 years of marketing agency experience who wants to step into an in-house position where they can truly own the craft, wear many hats, and directly see the impact of their work.

If you love SEO, AIO (AI optimization), content creation, and strengthening digital presence for local service brands — and you want to be part of an energetic, growth-oriented company — this role is for you.

About the Role

The Marketing & SEO Strategist will be the driving force behind Peak Property Management’s local and regional digital footprint. This person will be responsible for executing and continually improving our SEO, AIO, website performance, Google Business profiles, local rankings, blogging, and digital content strategy. You will work closely with our video editors, graphic designers, and remote content team — but this role requires someone who creates, not just delegates.

You must be a student of the marketing world — someone who actively learns, follows industry changes, tests new strategies, and evolves with an ever-changing digital landscape. There is no senior marketing role above this position yet, so we need someone motivated by autonomy, curiosity, and responsibility.
