Marketing and Proposal Coordinator - Central/Eastern Time Preferred

About the opportunity

SWCA seeks an experienced Marketing and Proposal Coordinator to join our Marketing and Pursuit Resources team to support our Midwest/Northeast sub-region (seven offices throughout the Northern Midwest and Northeastern States in the U.S.). The Marketing and Pursuit Resources team provides our local operations teams with marketing, business development, and pursuit/proposal support. As the Midwest/Northeast Marketing and Proposal Coordinator (HR Title = Marketing Coordinator), you will play a key role in leading pursuit development and supporting business development activities to sell our services to our clients across multiple industries. Our ideal candidate will thrive in an environment with tight deadlines and changing needs while ensuring a best-in-class product.

This is a full-time, regular (with benefits), salaried position. It is preferred that this individual live near one of our Midwest/Northeast offices (Chicago, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Boston, Amherst or Portland, ME), and potentially work in a hybrid capacity.

The successful candidate must possess the ability to travel to offices for occasional on-site collaboration. This position requires occasional overtime, including working evenings and/or weekends as necessary to fulfill position responsibilities.

Application deadline: Our team will begin reviewing applications immediately, and interviews will be scheduled with qualified candidates on a rolling basis. The application process will remain open until we have received a robust pool of qualified candidates. Once we have identified suitable individuals, we may close the application process without prior notice. We appreciate the time and effort invested by all applicants and will carefully consider each submission.
