The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  HFF is hiring a Communications Manager in Cambridge, MA.

• Role description

  The job is simple to state and hard to do: a Communications Manager at HFF turns interest in MA into invoices. Everything here scales with you — $133,000 - $199,000 at 8 years, sales marketing ownership soon after, and a HFF ladder above.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Read the room on every manager call and adjust the close
  • Manage event sponsorships and lead-capture programs across Cambridge, MA
  • Pair Resilience insight with gut feel to rank the hottest leads
  • Test three subject lines, kill two, scale the winner
  • Mentor junior reps on outreach cadence and objection handling
  • Read the sales marketing market and reposition the offer when it shifts
  • Run experiments on sales marketing messaging and keep only what converts
  • Pitch upsells that feel like favors, not invoices

  What You'll Bring

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Familiarity with HFF-scale workflows, or the appetite to reach them
  • A writer's ear for tone in a high-stakes email
  • Enough TikTok Ads to be dangerous, enough Buffer to be trusted
  • An ownership-driven attitude and eagerness to learn new skills
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities

  HFF is Cambridge, MA's answer to a sales marketing industry grown lazy, run by a generously-mentoring team that still cares about Buffer. Respect for your craft and your life outside it sits at the core of how HFF operates.

  The number is $133,000 - $199,000; the rest is mentorship, health coverage, paid growth time, and an internship arrangement that respects your evenings.
