Head of Marketing

About

Riley was founded with a simple mission: to make healthy and sustainable living accessible to everyone, everywhere. We are reimagining homebuilding with a kit-of-parts system that merges timeless design, sustainable materials, and modern construction methods to deliver high-quality, low-carbon housing at scale. Our goal is to become the most compelling home-creating company of the 21st century, driving the world’s transition to low-carbon, high-quality spaces to live.

Location: Los Angeles, CA (Hybrid / Remote-Friendly)

Reports To: Founder & CEO (Noah Riley)

Engagement: Fractional (Part-Time, 1099 Contractor)

Compensation: Retainer + Performance-Based Incentives

We are looking for a fractional Head of Marketing to help us build a powerful brand, generate qualified leads, and lay the foundations for scalable marketing systems.

This is a hands-on operator role, not a purely strategic position. You will shape the marketing strategy and personally execute the highest-leverage work — from campaigns and content to digital ads, website improvements, and lead funnels. You’ll be Riley’s marketing engine in the early phase, setting the standard and infrastructure for future growth.

Key Outcomes (6–12 Months)

• Identify priority channels and build a phased marketing roadmap focused on high-ROI, fast-feedback loops.

Hands-On Execution

• Write, design, and deploy multi-channel marketing campaigns (digital, email, paid social, PR, events).
• Oversee and directly manage website updates, SEO efforts, and content development.
• Produce or oversee creation of content (e.g., blog posts, launch videos, case studies, social content).

• Strong digital marketing and content background. Experience in real estate, sustainability, architecture, or consumer lifestyle a major plus.
• Familiarity with HubSpot, Hubspot CMS, SEO, Google Ads, Meta Ads, and basic analytics tools.
