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. That means people are close to the work, close to clients, and close to decision-making. It also means there is 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 who is excited by that opportunity and wants to help build what comes next.
About the Role We’re looking for a Marketing Lead who enjoys the pace and energy of pursuits and takes pride in producing thoughtful, well-crafted work. This role is central to our day-to-day marketing efforts, leading proposals and presentations while working closely with firm leadership.
You’ll have real ownership and visibility, managing multiple pursuits at once and helping shape how we present ourselves to clients. This is not a production-only role, we’re looking for someone who wants to think, contribute, and grow.
This is a role for someone who enjoys making things, someone who takes pride in how work is presented and is interested in finding thoughtful, creative ways to communicate it. You’ll be trusted to run with work, not just support it, and to take ownership of both the process and the final product.
What You’ll Do
Lead the development of proposals and interview materials from kickoff through submission
Manage schedules, coordinate content, and keep teams aligned and moving forward
Design and produce proposals and presentations using InDesign and related tools, with an emphasis on clarity, craft, and thoughtful visual communication
Write and edit content, working with project teams to develop clear, focused narratives
Collaborate closely with the Marketing Manager to translate strategy into compelling, well-crafted materials
Maintain and improve proposal templates, project sheets, and supporting content
Support ongoing marketing content efforts, including maintaining and updating website content to reflect current work and firm priorities
Contribute to awards submissions and other marketing efforts as needed
Help carry ARC’s presence on LinkedIn and Instagram through project-based posts and content drawn from the work
4-6 years of experience in marketing (AEC industry preferred)
Strong proposal experience, able to manage multiple pursuits independently
Excellent InDesign and layout skills
Strong writing and editing ability
A creative mindset, someone who cares about how ideas are expressed, not just assembled
Organized, proactive, and comfortable working with multiple teams and deadlines
Interest in growing into a more strategic marketing role over time
