About Us

Horizon Housing Realty (HHR) is a not-for-profit real estate agency and proud member of the CHL Group, offering specialist property management services for experienced investors. What sets us apart is our people, a team of passionate real estate professionals committed to delivering outstanding service and building long‑term value for our clients.

HHR manages a significant and growing property portfolio, with several large‑scale Build‑to‑Rent developments launching soon to further expand our footprint. As we continue to expand, we are seeking an energetic and motivated marketing professional to play a key role in supporting our growth and enhancing our brand presence across multiple projects on a fixed-term contract.

As part of our commitment to improving the communities in which we operate, funds raised by HHR in its management of rental properties and rental assistance programs are reinvested in building and managing more properties, expanding our capacity to assist those in housing stress.

The Role

This newly created role has been established to support the delivery of marketing and communications activities across HHR’s growing pipeline of Build‑to‑Rent projects, with several developments coming online in late 2026 and early 2027.

You will be responsible for coordinating and delivering a range of marketing and communication initiatives across the full business lifecycle from early awareness and expressions of interest through to lease‑up, resident onboarding and ongoing engagement. Your work will include developing high‑quality marketing collateral, maintaining website content and digital asset libraries, supporting social media and campaign activity, and contributing to national marketing initiatives. You will work closely with HHR project teams and collaborate with the broader CHL Group marketing and communications team, while reporting directly to the HHR Director.

Our team takes pride in a supportive, collaborative culture, and we are excited to welcome a new team member who is passionate about making a meaningful impact. HHR offers competitive remuneration, salary packaging benefits, and flexible working arrangements.
