Chief Marketing Officer
Office: Serbia
About the project
Porta Rai Beachfront Hotel & Residences is an exclusive 5-star condo-hotel complex on Velika Plaža in Montenegro - a luxury destination currently under development, designed to redefine contemporary beachfront living.
The project is backed by two international partners: Karisma Hotels & Resorts and Dobrov & Family Group, bringing over 60 years of combined experience in hospitality, investment, and premium real estate development.
The Role
As Chief Marketing Officer, you will own the full marketing function for Porta Rai — from strategy to execution. You will define how the project is positioned in the international market, build the digital engine that generates qualified leads for an international buyer base, and lead the team and external partners who deliver it.
You will report directly to the CEO and work alongside investors, with full ownership of the marketing P&L, strategy, team, and performance. This is a rare opportunity to shape one of the Adriatic's most ambitious luxury real estate projects from the ground up — strategic in scope, hands-on in execution.
Key Responsibilities
•Own the end-to-end marketing strategy across brand, demand generation, and sales enablement.
•Build and lead the in-house marketing team and manage external agencies (creative, digital, PR, web, production).
•Own the marketing P&L — budget, allocation, forecasting, and reporting to CEO and investors.
•Design and run the digital acquisition engine for international markets (EU, MENA, CIS, UK).
•Own paid media across Meta, Google Ads, programmatic, and native — hands-on in campaign architecture, bidding, and optimization.
•Lead SEO and AEO strategy for high-intent international buyers.
•Define tracking and attribution infrastructure (GA4, GTM, pixels, CAPI, server-side).
•Build the international lead-generation strategy for off-plan and completed residences, with funnels segmented by geography, buyer profile, and ticket size.
•Own CRM strategy and lead-nurturing automation across multi-touch journeys.
•Partner with the Sales Director on the full buyer journey — from acquisition to deal closing.
•Direct production of sales enablement assets (sales book, presentations, unit proposals, CGIs, 3D, video).
•Define brand positioning, tone of voice, and visual expression for international HNW buyers.
•Lead content and social strategy across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and TikTok.
•Oversee website, landing pages, and all digital touchpoints — UX, content, and conversion.
•Lead newsletter and lifecycle communications.
•Build an AI-first marketing operation (ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, Runway) across content, creative, research, and reporting.
•Define the MarTech stack (CRM, automation, analytics, attribution).
•Define the marketing KPI framework (CPL, CAC, MQL→SQL, pipeline contribution, ROAS).
•Report performance to CEO and investors; optimize budget allocation based on data.
