Role Profile As a Pursuits Associate based in Boston, you will be a key player within our Americas Growth team, driving the end‑to‑end pursuit process for high‑profile commercial design and build projects across the region. You will be a primary engine in crafting compelling narratives and high‑quality bid submissions that showcase Unispace’s unique value proposition to premier global and local clients. This dynamic role requires a blend of creative storytelling, project management, and strategic thinking. You will work closely with Business Development, Design, and Preconstruction leads in our New York studio and beyond to transform complex technical solutions into persuasive proposals, ensuring every client touchpoint is professional, innovative, and aligned with our brand excellence. Responsibilities include, but are not limited to: Bid Management & Coordination: Lead the coordination of the bid process for mid‑scale and complex pursuits. Develop and maintain bid programs, ensuring all internal stakeholders meet critical deadlines and that final submissions are of the highest quality. Content Development & Storytelling: Write and edit bespoke, client‑centric content for proposals, RFPs, and presentations. Translate technical concepts from our Strategy and Design teams into engaging narratives that resonate with the client’s specific drivers and pain points. Pitch Preparation & Strategy: Facilitate "win‑strategy" sessions to identify key differentiators. Support the creation of impactful pitch decks and leave‑behind materials, ensuring the team is well‑prepared and the visual messaging is cohesive. Stakeholder Collaboration: Act as a central hub between various departments (Design, Strategy, Preconstruction, and Marketing) to gather necessary inputs. Ensure a seamless flow of information and a unified "One Unispace" voice across all pursuit collateral. Graphic Excellence & Brand Alignment: Work alongside our graphic design resources to ensure all pursuit materials are visually stunning and strictly adhere to Unispace’s global brand guidelines, maintaining a premium look and feel. Knowledge Management: Maintain and update our library of standard bid content, case studies, and team biographies. Proactively identify "best‑in‑class" examples to elevate the quality of future submissions. Market Research: Conduct research on prospective clients, competitors, and industry trends within the New York and broader US markets to provide the pursuit team with actionable insights. CRM & Reporting: Ensure all pursuit activity, status updates, and outcomes are accurately tracked within our CRM system to support regional reporting and hit‑rate analysis. Skills & Experiences Proven experience (typically 5‑7 years) in a bid coordination, pursuits, or marketing role, ideally within the architecture, design, construction, or commercial real‑estate sectors. Exceptional writing and editing skills, with the ability to produce high‑quality copy under tight deadlines. Strong project management abilities, showing a knack for organizing multiple stakeholders and moving parts simultaneously in a fast‑paced environment. Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (specifically InDesign) and the Microsoft Office Suite is highly desirable. Meticulous attention to detail, ensuring zero errors in formatting, grammar, and client‑specific requirements. Commercially minded, with an understanding of the North American commercial real‑estate landscape and what drives client decision‑making. Collaborative spirit, with the confidence to engage with senior leadership and technical experts to extract key information. Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing, Communications, English, Architecture, or a related field. What We Offer In return, you will receive a competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package, including health insurance, 401(k), paid time off, and opportunities for professional development within our global network. Unispace is a fast‑growing, innovative firm that values creativity, diversity, and the well‑being of our people.
