Are you an experienced marketing professional who thrives at the intersection of strategic thinking, creative design, and hands-on execution? Universal Realty Group, based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, is a leading property management company committed to Building Excellence. With a diverse portfolio that includes over 2,300 rental apartments, more than 1.5 million square feet of commercial space, and the landmark Lord Nelson Hotel & Suites, we create communities that are vibrant, welcoming, and thoughtfully branded.
We’re seeking a Marketing & Design Manager who thrives in both the strategic development and hands-on execution of creative marketing initiatives. This role demands expertise in graphic design, print production, and vendor management, combined with strong capabilities in digital marketing, copywriting, and cross-functional project coordination. While many projects are executed internally, others involve collaboration with external consultants—requiring thoughtful oversight and alignment. The ideal candidate is both creatively driven and operationally sharp, capable of producing press ready materials, managing signage specifications, developing persuasive content, and leading marketing projects from concept to delivery. Success in this role depends on creativity, strong project management, vendor coordination, and the ability to work collaboratively across teams to support strategic business objectives that deliver cohesive, high-impact marketing solutions.
At Universal Realty Group, we offer a workplace culture built on teamwork, open communication, and career development. With several new residential and mixed-use development projects underway, this is a great opportunity to grow with an organization that values creativity, initiative, and long-term impact.
