Job Description
Creative Director, Schools
At CoStar Group, we have 20+ years' experience in leading and growing digital marketplaces. Just ask Brad Bellflower, Chief Change Officer at Apartments.com. After its acquisition in 2014, Apartments.com quickly turned into the most popular place to find a place. Proven success at the highest level - and we're doing it again with the new Homes.com.
Homes.com is a growing marketplace, reimagining the home search experience for consumers and agents alike. Homebuyers can get a look inside the heart and soul of the neighborhoods where they want to live. Not only that, but the platform is also purpose-built for agents to have access to innovative tools for servicing their clients and growing their business.
We are seeking a powerhouse Creative Director who will lead the strategy and creative direction of Homes.com School content. Thousands of pages rich with videos, photographs, and written narratives - all of them authentic, with no skimping on local flair. Up for the challenge?
You will be responsible for creating a vision for purposeful and compelling visual and written narratives to truly showcase Schools within the Homes.com platform. Giving consumers information about the Schools that surrounds the areas they are exploring. Highlighting new Schools that they and their children will spend their time. You will have a large content team including writers, videographers, photographers, editors, and other production partners to support your creative vision as we continue to build out the Homes.com platform.
This is it - the biggest challenge of your creative career. There's no place like Homes.com.
This role is based at our expanding innovative global campus in Richmond, Virginia.
