Autres informations

Portico seeks a Head of Marketing to establish and guide the marketing division across its diversified portfolio, which encompasses real estate, manufacturing, and hospitality. Reporting directly to the founding team, you will be instrumental in integrating marketing as a core business function, overseeing strategy and implementation across multiple verticals—from brand positioning to campaign execution—and assembling a high-performing team to sustain long-term growth.

Expérience

  • This is a senior position; candidates should possess extensive, hands-on experience in developing and executing marketing strategies.
  • Founded in 2015, Portico is a dynamic, Kigali-based group driving growth across real estate, manufacturing, and hospitality. The company operates over 12 subsidiaries, forming an end-to-end ecosystem within real estate and construction. Through Delta Developers, Portico has delivered high-end residential projects with an emphasis on quality, fully designed, furnished, and sold in-house. The group also manufactures essential building components, including kitchens, cabinetry, windows, and doors, while expanding its presence in hospitality via branded restaurant and spa offerings. This cross-sector integration defines Portico’s identity, with marketing identified as a critical pillar for future expansion. As the inaugural Head of Marketing, you will lead the function’s development from the ground up, collaborating closely with the founding leadership to define its scope, structure, and impact across all brands and business units. Your responsibilities will include shaping and executing comprehensive marketing strategies for the group and its individual companies, aligning with sector-specific needs. You will refine brand positioning, craft messaging frameworks, and guide go-to-market initiatives, while overseeing the full lifecycle of campaigns—from conceptualization to delivery. Additionally, you will spearhead the creation of the marketing team, recruiting top local talent, establishing scalable processes, and fostering a culture of accountability. Financial stewardship is central to this role, with full ownership of marketing budgets and responsibility for measurable outcomes. Ideal candidates will have a proven track record in marketing leadership, with a demonstrated ability to design and implement strategies that drive tangible results. Experience across strategic planning, brand development, and content creation is essential, alongside a preference for end-to-end ownership over fragmented execution. A history of building or transforming marketing functions—and successfully navigating multi-brand or multi-sector environments—will be highly advantageous. Portico offers a rare opportunity to lead marketing within a high-growth, multi-industry enterprise, with competitive remuneration, an on-site canteen, and a state

Expert Application Advice

For a senior role at Fortico Group, don’t just tick the box for les compétences demandées dans l'annonce—show how you’ve used it to drive revenue. Lead your CV with a concrete result (e.g., “boosted sales 30% via this skill”).

Positioning — Your cover letter must answer one question: why YOU for THIS specific role right NOW? Avoid generic templates — one sentence on what you specifically bring beats three generic paragraphs.

Sales KPIs — Revenue generated, portfolio growth, quota attainment (%): these 3 metrics are mandatory in senior interviews. Also prepare your 100-day plan — sales directors who arrive with a plan are consistently perceived as more credible.

🎯 Make your application ATS-ready

ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) are the software recruiters use to automatically filter CVs before any human reads them. Our CV builder is specifically designed to pass these filters — and it takes under 3 minutes.

  • •Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • •Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • •Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • •Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • •Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • •A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
