Job Description

Leading the Brand Behind the Build
Centric builds cool places to live, work, and play. Our projects shape communities, support businesses, bring people together, and create spaces with real purpose.

Now, we’re looking for a marketing leader who can help shape how that story is told.

This is a high-impact leadership role for someone who loves brand, strategy, storytelling, design, and people. You’ll lead the marketing function for a growing, employee-owned construction company with a strong reputation, a bold personality, and a lot of momentum.

The opportunity is clear: lead the brand, guide the team, support growth, and help Centric show up in the market with clarity, creativity, and confidence.

The Opportunity
Marketing at Centric is not a back-office function. It is deeply connected to how we win work, build relationships, communicate our value, celebrate our people, and represent who we are.

You’ll work closely with Business Development, Preconstruction, Operations, Executive Leadership, and a talented marketing team to bring ideas to life. Some days will be focused on proposals and project interviews. Others may involve brand strategy, social content, project storytelling, photography, events, sponsorships, internal communications, PR, or big-picture planning.

This role is for someone who can move comfortably between strategy and execution. Someone who can lead the conversation, shape the message, elevate the design, and jump in when the work needs extra hands.

Who We’re Looking For
We’re looking for a natural brand leader with strong creative instincts, sharp judgment, and the confidence to lead a visible function.

You know how to turn ideas into action. You can take a business goal, a project story, or a rough concept and shape it into something clear, compelling, and true to the brand. You understand that great marketing is not just about making things look good. It is about helping the company build trust, pursue the right opportunities, and tell the right story at the right time.

You are energized by fast-moving environments. You like variety. You can bring structure without making things rigid. You know how to prioritize, communicate clearly, and help a team focus on the work that matters most.

You are also a people leader. You enjoy coaching, teaching, encouraging, and helping others grow. You know when to guide, when to challenge, when to listen, and when to make the call.

What You’ll Lead
You’ll lead Centric’s marketing function across brand, proposals, project interviews, digital content, advertising, sponsorships, public relations, photography, collateral, internal communications, and creative direction.

You’ll help ensure our materials are sharp, our message is consistent, our brand feels like Centric, and our marketing efforts support where the company is headed.

You’ll also lead a small, talented team that is ready for mentorship, direction, and continued growth. They are creative, capable, and eager to keep building something strong. This is a chance to step into a team with a great foundation and help take it to the next level.

This Might Be Your Fit If...

• You love building brands, not just managing tasks.
• You can think strategically, create visually, communicate clearly, and lead with confidence.
• You are comfortable working with executives, project teams, field leaders, clients, designers, photographers, and community partners.
• You have a strong design eye, a high standard for quality, and the ability to make complex information feel simple and engaging.
• You are confident enough to speak up, collaborative enough to bring people with you, and grounded enough to keep the company’s best interest at the center.
• You want a role where your ideas, leadership, and creative direction will make a visible impact.
  

What You’ll Bring
We’re looking for progressive marketing experience, ideally in construction, architecture, engineering, real estate, development, professional services, or another relationship-driven industry.

Experience with brand management, proposals, creative direction, Adobe Creative Suite, digital content, social media, PR, internal and external communications, and executive-level collaboration will be important.

More than anything, we’re looking for someone who brings creativity, confidence, clarity, ownership, and care. Someone who can help lead Centric marketing into its next chapter.
