Special Projects Lead, Marketing & Business Development

Shape strategy. Tell powerful stories. Win meaningful work.

If you’re a senior marketing professional who loves turning ideas into impact—and thrives in fast-paced, relationship-driven environments—this role was designed with you in mind.

As a Special Projects Lead, you’ll sit at the intersection of strategy, storytelling, and business development. You’ll partner closely with senior leadership to drive high-visibility pursuits, craft compelling narratives, and elevate how the organization shows up in the marketplace. Your work will directly influence growth, reputation, and long-term success.

This is an opportunity to lead, not just execute—to bring your experience, creativity, and judgment to the table and be trusted to make things happen.

What You’ll Do

• Lead direct-to-client pursuits that position the organization to win work

• Develop persuasive, well-written content for print and digital platforms

• Translate complex technical information into clear, compelling marketing collateral

• Prepare interview and presentation materials that support business development efforts

• Collaborate with senior leaders on marketing strategy and special initiatives

• Support participation in relevant client organizations and industry associations

What You Bring - Experience & Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in marketing, communications, public relations, journalism, or a related field

• 10+ years of progressive marketing experience with demonstrated results

  • Must have experience working in an architecture or engineering firm

• Exceptional writing, editing, and verbal communication skills

• Strong design sensibility, including typography and layout, with openness to feedback

• Proven ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines with confidence

• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop) and Microsoft applications

• A robust portfolio showcasing creative, strategic marketing work across platforms

How You Show Up

• Collaborative, proactive, and relationship-oriented

• Comfortable working with senior leaders and cross-functional teams

• Organized, self-motivated, and accountable

• Thoughtful, fiscally responsible, and detail-oriented

• Dependable and persuasive, with strong follow-through

• A problem-solver who sees obstacles as opportunities

• Creative, adaptable, and known for a “can-do” attitude

Why This Role Stands Out

• High visibility and direct access to decision-makers

• Meaningful influence on strategy, positioning, and growth

• A team-oriented environment that values professionalism, integrity, and initiative

• The chance to apply your experience in a role that truly benefits from senior-level thinking
