About The Position

Speed Bay Warehouse Solutions is seeking its first Chief Marketing Officer to define and own the brand and marketing function of a fast-growing, institutionally backed real estate investment platform. This is a rare opportunity to shape the identity of a firm with experienced founders, significant capital, and a clear path to becoming the nationally recognized leader in shallow bay, multi-tenant light industrial real estate. The CMO will own the end-to-end marketing function—from brand strategy and investor positioning to digital presence and creative output—and will serve as the in-house steward of external marketing partners. The role is central to how Speed Bay presents itself to institutional LPs, private wealth platforms, and the broader market as it scales its fundraising and firm-building efforts. The ideal candidate has led marketing for an institutional asset manager or distributed investment products business serving institutional and high net worth channels, is comfortable operating within FINRA marketing standards, and brings the strategic instincts to translate a complex investment platform into clear, compelling narratives for multiple distinct audiences. Experience with real estate investment products, 1031 exchange offerings, or non-traded REITs is a meaningful plus, but not a prerequisite. This person is both a creative leader and a disciplined operator—able to build durable marketing infrastructure while moving quickly to support active fundraising and broader firm-building initiatives.

Requirements

10+ years of marketing leadership experience, with significant time in commercial real estate, financial services, or institutional asset management.
Demonstrated experience marketing investment products in institutional and high net worth channels; familiarity with distributed product structures (non-traded REIT, private Reg D funds, 1031 exchange offerings, or similar) is a plus but not required.
Familiarity with FINRA review standards and marketing requirements for SEC-regulated investment managers.
Proven ability to tailor materials for sophisticated institutional investors and private wealth audiences.
Track record of building and developing high-performing marketing teams, with the ability to lead creatives and generalists toward shared goals.
Strong portfolio across brand, creative, and digital, including agency and vendor management.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with an ability to translate complex investment concepts into clear, audience-appropriate messaging.
High-level proficiency with design and productivity platforms (Adobe Suite, Framer, PowerPoint, Canva, Microsoft Office); working proficiency with AI-powered tools for content creation, research, and workflow optimization.
Bachelor’s degree required; post-graduate degree in Marketing, Communications, or Business a plus.
