Marketing Manager
May. 6, 2026
About ARC: ARC is a 40-person design firm based in Boston, built around the idea that thoughtful design comes from listening, collaboration, and a genuine exchange of ideas. We work across athletics and wellness, education, arts, and science, often on complex projects where relationships and trust matter as much as design.
We are a small firm by choice, meaning people are close to the work, clients, and decision‑making, giving real opportunity to shape how things are done.
We are at a moment of transition in our marketing team and see it as an opportunity to rethink how we pursue work, tell our story, and connect more directly with clients. We’re looking for someone excited by that opportunity and wants to help build what comes next.
We value people who are curious and creative, not in a performative way, but in how they think, write, and make. The best ideas here tend to come from people who are engaged in the work and willing to explore, test, and refine them alongside others.
Role: Marketing Manager. Hands‑on position, working closely with principals and our Business Development Manager to shape pursuits, develop proposals and presentations, and bring clarity and direction to our marketing efforts. This role is intended to grow into a Director position over time.
What You’ll Do
* Work with firm leadership and our Business Development Manager to shape pursuit strategy and positioning
* Develop and refine proposal and interview narratives, staying actively involved from kickoff through delivery
* Write and edit proposals and presentations, helping translate complex work into clear, compelling and thoughtfully crafted stories
* Develop and advance approaches to visual storytelling, including the use of data and graphics to communicate the impact of our work
* Partner closely with a Marketing Lead to produce thoughtful, well‑crafted materials
* Lead the awards process, collaborate on thought leadership, and PR efforts that support how we pursue work and present the firm
* Help bring structure and clarity to our marketing systems, templates, and workflows
* Track opportunities and help maintain continuity between business development efforts and active pursuits
* Oversee and coordinate project photography and videography, shaping how ARC’s work is documented and shared
* Guide how ARC approaches social media as an extension of our work, how we show up externally, including LinkedIn and Instagram, ensuring our voice is consistent and aligned with our work
What We’re Looking For
* 8–12+ years of experience in AEC marketing
* A strong track record contributing to and leading successful pursuits
* Excellent writing and editing skills, with an ability to find the story in the work
* A creative, thoughtful approach to storytelling and communication
* Comfort working directly with principals and contributing to strategy
* A collaborative, low‑ego approach, someone who is as comfortable doing the work as guiding it
* Interest in growing into a Director‑level leadership role
