Director of Marketing

Company Overview

Casago Coastal NC is a locally led, locally operated vacation rental management group serving four of the most beloved stretches of the North Carolina coastline through our family of brands: Hatteras Realty (Hatteras Island and the southern Outer Banks), Atlantic Beach Realty (the Crystal Coast), Carolina Coast Retreats (the Cape Fear region, including Wilmington and Topsail), and Carolina Breeze Vacations (the Brunswick Islands).

We are led by a team with decades of combined experience investing in, growing, and operating successful vacation rental management companies — and that experience is paired with on-the-ground local managers who live in the markets they serve. The people making decisions about a homeowner's property or a guest's stay are part of the same community, with the authority to act in real time. We believe vacation rental management is a relationship business, and relationships are built locally.

For homeowners, we are an advocate first — focused on protecting the home, maximizing income, and delivering transparent, real-time reporting. For guests, we deliver professionally cleaned, fully equipped homes backed by reliable local support from check-in to check-out.

As part of the Casago network, North America's largest specialized vacation rental manager, our local teams are backed by enterprise technology, distribution across 25+ leading channels including Vrbo, Airbnb, and Booking.com, and the operational resources of a national platform — while the strategy, service, and relationships remain ours, built locally for the long term.

Position Summary

We're looking for a Director of Marketing to lead and scale marketing rental performance across a growing, multi-market portfolio.

This is a high-impact, hands-on leadership role responsible for driving results across return on marketing spending and revenue performance. You will partner directly with ownership and General Managers to bring structure, accountability, and consistency to the rentals function - while ensuring teams are aligned, supported, and performing at a high level.

Success in this role requires someone who moves quickly, takes initiative, and thrives in a fast-paced, evolving environment. You will be responsible for building and refining systems that improve efficiency, elevate the marketing analytics, and enable the organization to scale with confidence.

You’ll operate across multiple coastal markets, stepping in where needed to solve problems, remove friction, and keep operations moving forward. This role is ideal for a leader who combines strong relationship instincts with operational discipline, and who takes pride in turning complexity into clarity.

You'll be the driving force behind our brand presence, orchestrating integrated marketing campaigns across multiple channels while maintaining strong relationships with local partners and guest communities. From crafting compelling content and managing our digital footprint to analyzing performance metrics and optimizing our vacation rental listings, you'll have the opportunity to make a significant impact on our growth and guest experience. This dynamic position offers the perfect blend of strategic thinking and hands-on execution, where your enthusiasm for storytelling and data-driven decision-making will help Casago Coastal to stand out in the competitive vacation rental market.
