Marketing and Communications Manager

Homefield helps accelerators, universities, and economic development organizations launch investment funds, and we're building the tools, content, and community to support the next generation of fund managers. Our goal is bold: a thousand funds across the United States in the next ten years, transforming who gets funded and how communities build wealth.

We are a small, founder-led team doing meaningful work at the intersection of finance, entrepreneurship, and economic development.

Homefield Operations is looking for a Marketing Communications Manager to own our suite of companies' brand, content, public relations, and events. You will be responsible for telling Homefield's story to the world, building awareness of our programs, and creating the events and publications that position Homefield as a leader in community-centered fund management. This role reports to the Founder and manages marketing interns, ecosystem builders, and outside vendors.

Homefield is growing, and the people who need our programs need to know we exist. As Marketing Communications Manager, you own every dimension of how Homefield shows up publicly: our website, social media, email campaigns, press coverage, publications, and events.

You will develop and execute Homefield's marketing and communications strategy, manage relationships with outside publications and media outlets, plan and produce events that connect fund managers, entrepreneurs, and community partners, and create content that drives awareness and inbound interest in our programs. You will also manage and mentor marketing interns who support content production, social media, and event logistics.

This is a hands‑on role. You will be both the strategist and the executor, building the marketing function from the ground up while producing work every day.
