Special Projects Lead, Marketing & Business Development
Shape strategy. Tell powerful stories. Win meaningful work.
If you’re a senior marketing professional who loves turning ideas into impact—and thrives in fast-paced, relationship-driven environments—this role was designed with you in mind.
As a Special Projects Lead, you’ll sit at the intersection of strategy, storytelling, and business development. You’ll partner closely with senior leadership to drive high-visibility pursuits, craft compelling narratives, and elevate how the organization shows up in the marketplace. Your work will directly influence growth, reputation, and long-term success.
This is an opportunity to lead, not just execute—to bring your experience, creativity, and judgment to the table and be trusted to make things happen.
What You’ll Do
Lead direct-to-client pursuits that position the organization to win work
Develop persuasive, well-written content for print and digital platforms
Translate complex technical information into clear, compelling marketing collateral
Prepare interview and presentation materials that support business development efforts
Collaborate with senior leaders on marketing strategy and special initiatives
Support participation in relevant client organizations and industry associations

Proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop) and Microsoft applications
A robust portfolio showcasing creative, strategic marketing work across platforms
How You Show Up
Collaborative, proactive, and relationship-oriented
Comfortable working with senior leaders and cross-functional teams

Thoughtful, fiscally responsible, and detail-oriented
Dependable and persuasive, with strong follow-through
A problem-solver who sees obstacles as opportunities
Creative, adaptable, and known for a “can-do” attitude
Why This Role Stands Out
High visibility and direct access to decision-makers
Meaningful influence on strategy, positioning, and growth
A team-oriented environment that values professionalism, integrity, and initiative
