Build solutions. Elevate performance. Thrive in Corporate at New Home Star!

New Home Star is the largest privately owned seller of new homes in America. As a member of our Marketing team, you’ll support both our Corporate Support Office and our home builder partners—helping them sell more homes, more profitably.

Kick-start your content marketing career with hands-on experience that makes a real impact.

This role is perfect for a creative, detail-oriented self-starter who takes initiative and thrives in a fast-paced environment, is eager to learn, and is passionate about producing high-quality work while building valuable real-world marketing experience.

Our Corporate Support Office is located in the heart of downtown Elmhurst and is not your typical “corporate” setting. We embrace collaboration with an open office concept, and sincerely enjoy team outings, celebrations, and company-wide events. Our team is fun, ambitious, and highly motivated to succeed. These elements create a supportive environment where you can develop professionally and find a long-term place to pursue your career aspirations.
