Description

Description SHIVE-HATTERY IS SEEKING A CREATIVE STRATEGIST IN OUR PHOENIX, AZ OFFICE: Sound like you? Are you a thought leader who challenges the status quo to help clients succeed? The Shive-Hattery Public Buildings Marketing Team is looking for you. We’re growing our talented marketing team, and we want the best. If you thrive in a fast-paced work environment, find energy in collaboration, and love that no two days are alike, let’s talk! Our ideal candidate will have: Complete Ownership: Mediocrity will not do on your watch. You do your best work even when nobody’s looking. It’s not that you’re a perfectionist, you just really enjoy what you do and relish making your clients’ lives easier. An Eye for Design & Layout: Your page layout invites the reader in. You value hierarchy, white space, color, simplicity, and delight in making the mundane pop on a page. You are eager to challenge yourself to achieve the next level and welcome feedback in that journey. Superior Writing Skills: You’re good. You’re brief. You’re gone. (And you know the difference between your and you’re.) A Strategic Mindset: Not only do you see the big picture, you also understand your place in it. You are curious and ask the right questions at the right time. You can interpret and communicate data clearly. You connect the dots! Industry Knowledge (A plus!): You know what Schematic Design means and the difference between Design/Bid/Build and Design/Build. Oh, and if you don’t know any of this stuff, you take the initiative to find out. Servant Leadership: You know when to lead, follow, or get out of the way, not for personal gain but for the greater good. What You'll Do: Proposal/Presentation Development: Partner with pursuit teams to advance our positioning and deliver persuasive proposals and presentations that resonate with our clients. Develop winning proposals and interview presentations. Coordinate all aspects of pursuits: strategy development, messaging, formatting, proofreading, coordination with graphics and teaming partners, editing, quality reviews, compliance, brand adherence, and efficient and timely production. Collaborate with proposal developer for production support. Client Development Support: Provide strategic business development support to facilitate client development, assemble information packages, support the planning and preparations of client workshops and special events, and maintain marketing files. Lead in the development of client capture plans. Business Development Support: Provide planning support for key conferences to maximize presence and investment. Desire to connect with and represent Shive-Hattery in your community. Support leadership in all go/no-go decisions and assess each potential pursuit's ability to meet the firm’s strategic BD plan, positioning, and goals. Marketing Information: Contribute to company marketing process improvements to continuously enhance the quality of our work. Support our process for creating and maintaining well-organized, up-to-date qualifications statements, project descriptions, and resumes that reflect firm strengths and client benefits. Market research (as needed), including competition, strategic intelligence, market, and industry trends. Collaborate with proposal coordinator for production support. Requirements Success in this role favors the highly organized who can prioritize multiple concurrent tasks in a deadline-driven environment. 5+ years of experience in proposal and presentation planning and coordination, page layout, drafting tailored proposal content, graphics development, and editing.
