Marketing Specialist (Pursuits)

About ARC ARC is a 40-person design firm based in Boston, built around the idea that thoughtful design comes from listening, collaboration, and a genuine exchange of ideas. We work across athletics and wellness, education, arts, and science, often on complex projects where relationships and trust matter as much as design. We are a small firm by choice. That means people are close to the work, close to clients, and close to decision‑making. It also means there is real opportunity to shape how things are done. We are at a moment of transition in our marketing team and see it as an opportunity to rethink how we pursue work, tell our story, and connect more directly with clients. We’re looking for someone who is excited by that opportunity and wants to help build what comes next.
