Communications Manager

Role Overview

Lhoopa is looking for a Communications Manager who can turn strategy into sharp, consistent execution. This role anchors the comms function — shaping how our story is told across media, regulators, investors, partners, and the broader housing sector.

You'll manage day-to-day communications, strengthen Lhoopa's credibility as a tech-driven affordable housing leader, and ensure our message stays clear, aligned, and disciplined across all channels.

This role suits someone who can think strategically, write cleanly, and thrive in a fast, high-performance environment.

Key Responsibilities

Narrative & Content Execution

• Manage the weekly and monthly execution calendars of Lhoopa's narrative roadmap
• Drive end-to-end production of company publications (newsletters, press releases, whitepapers, research/studies, impact reports), in collaboration with teams
• Coordinate input from data, operations, policy, and leadership to shape high-precision drafts
• Manage revisions, approvals, and final deliverables with minimal oversight
• Package stories for each audience: regulators, investors, media, partners, and brokers/contractors

Brand & Message Consistency

• Ensure all decks, briefs, statements, and partner materials follow unified narrative architecture
• Enforce template usage, tone adherence, and design standards across teams and external partners
• Maintain and regularly update the brand book and message bank

Media & Visibility Operations

• Translate key milestones from Lhoopa's narrative roadmap into pitching opportunities (eg., CSR, partnership announcements, proprietary studies)
• Manage PR agency output and hold them to timelines and deliverables
• Draft and package press kits, media advisories, op-eds, and expert commentary
• Support Head of Communications in maintaining a structured engagement system with priority journalists

Thought Leadership & Publication Pipeline

• Develop the content pipeline for Lhoopa's 2026 initiatives, with support from the Communications Associate
• Coordinate research validation, data scrubbing, design, and rollout plans
• Ensure every publication has a visibility strategy (media, social, stakeholder push, events)

Event & Program Delivery

• Drive execution of all public events and activations, including stakeholder events, CSR partnerships, speaking engagements and partner activations
• Ad-hoc opportunities with Pag-IBIG, DHSUD, LGUs, developers, and investor groups

Responsibilities include:

• Project management from planning to post-event outputs

• On-site comms control: documentation, media relations, and content capture
• Post-event summaries, visibility recaps, and amplification

Stakeholder & Partner Communications

• Produce partnership content and stories (eg., CSR tie-ups, government co-launches) to grow visibility
• Coordinate closely with Strategy, Operations, and Public Affairs to ensure aligned messaging

Issues & Crisis Response Execution

• Run the operational side of crisis comms: escalation logging, drafting statements, preparing FAQs, coordinating with ops
• Maintain updated risk trackers, holding statements, and spokesperson materials

Reporting & Governance

• Ensure timely updates on the full reporting cadence:

• Weekly COO updates

• Monthly KPI dashboard
• Event/media debriefs

• Quarterly narrative insights & next steps

• Track execution against roadmap milestones and flag slippage early

• Keep knowledge repositories updated (project trackers, media & stakeholder lists, event logs, message banks, stakeholder maps)

What Success Looks Like

• Strong, consistent messaging across all touchpoints
• Increased positive media visibility in housing, tech, and investment sectors
• Clean execution of major publications and events
• Proactive identification and handling of issues and narrative risks
• A more disciplined and aligned brand across the organization

Qualifications

• Strong understanding of media dynamics and stakeholder communications.
• Experience managing agencies and cross-functional teams.
• Project management discipline and comfort working in a fast-paced environment.
• Background in tech, real estate, or development is a plus but not required.

Core Competencies

• Writing precision
• Stakeholder influence and relationship-building
• Operational discipline and reliability
• Sound judgment and risk awareness
