Job Summary
Churchgate Group is looking for a commercially minded Marketing & Communications Lead to drive measurable business outcomes for World Trade Center Abuja. This is not a pure social media, content, or awareness-driven role. It is a commercial marketing leadership role for someone who can translate marketing investment into lease inquiries, membership sign-ups, partnership deals, and pipeline contribution. You will be expected to think in ROAS, CAC, and lead generation – not just impressions and engagement. You will be frustrated when marketing cannot be tied to revenue. You will take pride in building systems that consistently deliver commercial growth.
