Marketing Coordinator at Clark Construction Company in Detroit, MI, USA

Job description

• Location: Detroit, Michigan (supports Southeast Michigan)
• Help us tell the story of what we build.
• Clark has been building across Michigan since 1946. This year we turned 80, we're 400 people strong, and Crain's has named us one of the Best Places to Work for seven years in a row. We're growing in Southeast Michigan, and every project we win here starts with a proposal, an interview, and a story that makes an owner believe in our team.
• This role helps write that story.
• You'll join a small marketing team that does a bit of everything. One week you're building a proposal and pulling together prebond packages. The next you're helping a project team get ready for an interview, planning a groundbreaking, posting a job site update, or refreshing a page on our website. If you like variety and want to learn how construction work actually gets won, this is a good seat.
• This role is based out of our Detroit Office and supports the marketing efforts across Southeast Michigan. Ideal candidates may live in or near Detroit, Dearborn, Ann Arbor, Troy, Novi, Ferndale, or other surrounding areas.
• Who will do well here
• People who like being on a team and pitching in wherever the work is. People who are curious about how buildings get built and why owners pick one contractor over another. People who care about the finished product and take pride when it goes out the door right.

Responsibilities

• Coordinate proposals, qualifications packages, and prebond campaigns from kickoff to delivery, working with project executives, preconstruction, and business development.
• Design proposals and presentations in InDesign that look and read like Clark.
• Help project teams prepare for interviews, including slides, boards, handouts, and rehearsals.
• Turn project data into charts and graphics a busy owner can understand in seconds.
• Keep resumes, project data, contact information, and project lists current in our CRM.
• Maintain the boilerplate and reusable content our team relies on.
• Create social media content and help keep our website current.
• Plan and support events, from groundbreakings and dedications to the company picnic, annual meeting, and holiday party.
• Coordinate trade show materials, promotional items, and mailings.
• Handle confidential pursuit and company information with discretion.

Requirements

• A bachelor's degree in marketing, communications, business, or a related field.
• Two or more years of experience in marketing, graphic design, content development, or communications.
• Strong skills in InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator, plus Microsoft Office.
• Experience with a CRM system.
• Writing that's clear and engaging. You'd rather say something true and specific than something that sounds impressive with no substance.
• Organization that holds up when three deadlines land in the same week.
• A habit of checking your work twice, because a typo on page 40 still matters.
• Proposal or business development experience.
• Experience in construction, engineering, architecture, or professional services.
• Social media or website content experience.
