About the Opportunity

A respected commercial builder is seeking a Marketing Manager with deep construction-industry experience to lead proposal strategy, brand content, and internal marketing initiatives.

• Develop compelling proposal content tailored to owners, markets, and pursuits
• Support interview prep, presentation materials, and pursuit strategy
• Maintain and improve website content and digital brand presence
• Manage company collateral, internal communications, and social media content
• Support internal employee communications and company announcements

Technical Skills Needed

• Adobe InDesign (required)
• Adobe Creative Suite
• WordPress
• SharePoint
• Strong proposal writing and content organization skills

What They’re Looking For

• Prior marketing experience within a GC / CM / AEC environment
• Strong understanding of construction proposals and interview processes
• Creative but highly organized
• Able to manage multiple deadlines simultaneously
• Comfortable interacting with operations and executive leadership
