Shive-Hattery is seeking a Creative Strategist in our Kansas City, MO 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: You know what Schematic Design means and the difference between Design / Bid / Build and Design / Build. If you're unfamiliar, you take the initiative to learn.
- Servant Leadership: You know when to lead, follow, or step back, for the greater good, not personal gain.
Desired Qualifications:
- Success favors highly organized individuals who can prioritize multiple tasks in a deadline-driven environment.
- 5+ years of experience in proposal and presentation planning, coordination, page layout, drafting tailored content, graphics development, and editing, or similar experience.
- Highly proficient with Adobe Creative Cloud / Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop), Microsoft PowerPoint, Word, and Excel.
- Strong interpersonal and proactive communication skills.
- Bachelor's degree in marketing, journalism, communications, or related field, or equivalent.
- Graphic Design background is a plus.
- Experience with Del-Tek VantagePoint, OpenAsset, and Newforma software is a plus, but not required.
Responsibilities include:
- Proposal / Presentation Development: Partner with pursuit teams to craft persuasive proposals and presentations, coordinate all aspects from strategy to production, and ensure quality and compliance.
- Client Development Support: Facilitate business development activities, assemble information packages, support client workshops, and develop capture plans.
- Business Development Support: Assist with conference planning, represent Shive-Hattery in the community, and support strategic pursuit decisions.
- Marketing Information: Contribute to process improvements, maintain marketing materials, and conduct market research.
