Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Serve as project manager for the coordination, writing, editing, and production of Statements of Qualifications (SOQs), proposals, and interview presentations for public-agency and private-client pursuits.

  • Translate LSA's technical expertise into clear, compelling marketing language for non-technical audiences.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Communications, Architecture, or a related field
  • 2–5+ years of marketing/proposal experience in the A/E/C or construction industry preferred
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office required
  • InDesign or Adobe Creative Suite strongly preferred
  • Sharp writer and editor who can turn technical, numbers-heavy content into a clear, persuasive story

  • CPSM certification (or interest in pursuing it) a plus

Preferred

  • CPSM certification (or interest in pursuing it) a plus
  • InDesign or Adobe Creative Suite strongly preferred

  • 401(k) with employer match
  • PTO + paid holidays
  • Hybrid work schedule — flexibility to manage your own days
  • Professional development support (CPSM, conferences, industry associations)
  • Direct mentorship from firm principals — not a large-firm marketing department where you're one of dozens
