Help the right people find our firm.

When a conference panel needs a voice related to the built environment, we want it to be one of ours. When a design award is announced, we want our work on the list. When a future client asks AI about the best commercial architecture firms, we want our firm in the results. We’re looking for the person who makes all of that happen. Xbn n43EMQz2Axqx is a national architecture and design firm of about 375 people across 10 offices. Our vision is to elevate the everyday experience for our clients, our communities and our people. As our Marketing Communications Manager, you’ll turn great project work into visibility, and visibility into real business.

What you’ll own

Project and content marketing. You’ll work with the Marketing Communications Specialist to highlight the stories behind our work through thought leadership, email, website news posts, and social media. You’ll set a steady rhythm, partner with our project teams, and make sure our best work reaches the right audiences.

Paid and social. You’ll plan and optimize LinkedIn campaigns and lead our social strategy and calendar, then report on reach, engagement and contribution to pipeline.

Visibility opportunities. You’ll evaluate and coordinate awards, conferences, sponsorships and media opportunities, choosing the ones that earn their place and amplifying the results across our channels.

How we get found. Search is changing quickly, and so is how clients research firms. You’ll steward SEO and help shape our approach to AI engine optimization (AIEO), so our projects and expertise surface in tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google. You’ll stay current on how best to navigate this ever-changing strategy.

Measurement and leadership. You’ll deliver quarterly metrics reports to leadership, manage our Marketing & Communications Specialist, run the weekly marketing team meeting, and partner with our Principal of Marketing & Communications on long term marketing plans.
