at Antenna Group

🏢 About Antenna Group

Antenna Group is a mission-driven communications agency dedicated to accelerating sustainable innovations and building a clean economy. Working here means you'll help shape narratives for companies leading the transition to an eco-friendly world, making a tangible impact on climate and sustainability.

About This Role

As VP of Real Estate Communications, you'll lead strategy for clients navigating the intersection of real estate, sustainability, and finance. You'll guide C-suite leaders through market shifts, regulatory changes, and investor communications, directly influencing how these companies are perceived by key stakeholders.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start with a client call discussing a pending regulatory announcement, followed by drafting a press release on a sustainable real estate fund. Afternoon could involve a new business pitch for a proptech startup, then reviewing an ESG report for a REIT. You'll also mentor junior team members and connect with journalists covering real estate and climate.

🎯 Who Antenna Group Is Looking For

  • A seasoned agency leader with 10–12+ years in PR/corporate communications, specifically within real estate (e.g., commercial, residential, proptech, or real estate investment).
  • Proven track record of managing and growing complex client accounts, with experience in financial/investor communications (e.g., earnings calls, ESG reporting, IPOs).
  • Strategic counselor who can advise senior executives during inflection points like growth, transformation, or crisis, with a network of top-tier media and investor contacts.
  • Business development savvy with a history of winning new business and building long-term, trusted client relationships.

📝 Tips for Applying to Antenna Group

2

Include specific examples of account growth (e.g., % revenue increase, expanded scope) and new business wins in your cover letter.

3

Showcase your investor communications background with concrete deliverables like press releases for earnings, ESG reports, or capital markets announcements.

4

Mention any experience with policy/regulatory audiences (e.g., zoning, climate disclosure rules) as it aligns with Antenna's focus.

5

Use your LinkedIn profile to demonstrate thought leadership in real estate and sustainability (e.g., posts, articles, or commentary).

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

["Your passion for sustainability and how it aligns with Antenna's mission to accelerate clean economy innovations.", 'Specific real estate communications wins: e.g., a crisis you navigated, a major media placement, or a successful investor relations campaign.', 'Your ability to drive business growth: mention new client wins or account expansions with measurable results.', 'Your comfort with senior-level counsel and experience guiding clients through inflection points like market shifts or regulatory changes.']

💬 Prepare for These Interview Topics

Based on this role, you may be asked about:

1 How would you design a communications strategy for a real estate client launching a new sustainable building product?
2 Describe a time you managed a crisis for a real estate client. What was your approach and outcome?
3 How do you measure success in investor communications for a publicly traded real estate company?

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't submit a generic application – failing to mention real estate or sustainability experience will be an immediate red flag.
  • Avoid overemphasizing consumer PR or lifestyle brands; this role is about corporate, financial, and policy communications.
  • Don't downplay agency experience – the requirement is explicit; candidates without agency background are unlikely to be considered.
