Salary Range: 3500 USD/month

Work Schedule: Monday – Friday, 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM (EST)

Company Overview:

Sagan is an exclusive membership community for top executives, founders, and CEOs seeking to hire and maximize the impact of international talent. We bridge the gap between global talent and US-based businesses, connecting candidates from vibrant regions like Latin America, the Philippines, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Africa with leading American companies. Sagan provides a high-performance remote work environment, ensuring access to world-class opportunities for top-tier professionals.

About the Company:

We are a premier New York City-based design-build studio where architectural rigor meets expert craftsmanship. We specialize in high-end residential and commercial renovations that emphasize material expression and thoughtful detail. We are a fast-paced, woman-led firm seeking a senior-level partner to take full ownership of our brand’s voice and digital discoverability.

Position Overview:

The Senior Marketing & Communications Manager role is a non-traditional, “Senior Doer” role designed for a professional who understands that in high-end design, the story is as important as the structure. We are not looking for a strategist to manage others; we are looking for an independent expert who can execute world-class PR outreach and technical SEO updates simultaneously.

You will be the primary engine behind our marketing efforts, responsible for offloading complex communication tasks from the founders. You must be a “real adult”—someone who thrives on autonomy, follows direction with precision, and possesses the professional maturity to represent a luxury NYC brand.

Core Expertise Required:

Architectural & Interior Design Narrative * Background: You must hold a degree in Architecture or Interior Design, or have extensive experience (10+ years) writing for top-tier architectural publications.
>> The Voice: You must be able to write with “White Glove” sophistication. You aren’t just “writing about buildings”; you are translating architectural intent, materiality, and spatial experience into evocative prose.

Strategic Copywriting & PR Outreach * Act as our lead journalist-in-residence, crafting high-impact project descriptions and PR pitches.
>> Secure features in elite publications (e.g., Architectural Digest, Dezeen, ArchDaily) by leveraging your industry knowledge to find the “hook” in every project.

Technical SEO & Digital Growth * Execute a comprehensive SEO strategy: handle all keyword research, metadata, and backlinking without hand-holding.
>> Produce high-quality, SEO-optimized content that maintains a luxury brand feel—avoiding “robotic” or generic output.

>> Manage and update the studio’s digital presence (Squarespace) with a focus on both aesthetic beauty and search performance.

Key Qualifications:

Seniority: Minimum of 10 years of professional experience in communications, marketing, or editorial within the design industry.
Industry Fluency: A deep understanding of the US architectural market and high-end design standards.
Linguistic Precision: Native or C2-level English. Your writing must be flawless, persuasive, and culturally nuanced for a New York audience.
Technical Stack: Proficiency in Slack, Monday.com, and Squarespace.
AI Integration: Expert at utilizing AI tools (ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.) to streamline production and polish copy, while maintaining a high-brow, human-centric final product.

Selection Criteria:

Candidates will be evaluated primarily on their ability to prove “Industry IQ” through past PR pitches and SEO-focused architectural writing. We value candidates who are ready to hit the ground running as an independent extension of our design team.
