About the Opportunity
Are you an AEC marketing professional who enjoys developing compelling proposals, managing multiple pursuits, juggling multiple systems, and turning technical information into persuasive, visually engaging content?
Kenney and Associates is seeking an AEC Marketing / Proposal Coordinator to support a diverse portfolio of architecture, engineering, and construction clients.
Unlike a traditional in-house marketing position, this role offers the opportunity to work across multiple firms, project types, and markets while contributing to proposals, business development initiatives, and other client projects.
We're looking for a proactive, detail-oriented professional who enjoys the variety and creativity of AEC marketing, takes ownership of assignments, and thrives in a collaborative, deadline-driven environment.
About Kenney and Associates
Kenney and Associates is an established consulting firm providing marketing, business development, recruiting, and strategic support to architecture, engineering, and construction firms.
We work closely with our clients to develop competitive proposals, identify business opportunities, strengthen marketing materials, and support their ongoing growth.
Our small, fully remote team combines the variety of a consulting environment with the close collaboration of an in-house marketing department.
What You'll Do
Proposal Development & Coordination
- Research, write, edit, proofread, and produce RFQs, RFPs, statements of qualifications, and other AEC marketing submissions.
- Coordinate proposal schedules, requirements, content development, and production.
- Help tailor proposal narratives to client priorities and evaluation criteria while ensuring accuracy, consistency, and compliance.
Technical Content & Marketing Materials
- Translate technical information into clear, compelling project descriptions, staff qualifications, firm profiles, and marketing narratives.
- Develop visually engaging proposals, presentations, and marketing materials using Adobe InDesign and Microsoft Office.
- Maintain and update project portfolios, resumes, marketing collateral, and reusable proposal content.
Business Development & Research
- Research upcoming projects, procurement opportunities, prospective clients, teaming partners, and industry trends.
- Support client outreach, business development initiatives, and pursuit planning.
- Maintain project information, contact databases, CRM records, and research reports.
Project Coordination & Client Support
- Collaborate with firm leadership, technical professionals, and external teaming partners to gather information and coordinate deliverables.
- Manage multiple assignments and deadlines across different clients and projects.
- Assist with recruiting research, candidate coordination, and other client-related initiatives as needed.
What We're Looking For
- AEC Industry Experience: Previous experience in architecture, engineering, or construction marketing, proposal coordination, or a closely related role is strongly preferred.
- Proposal Skills: Familiarity with RFQs, RFPs, statements of qualifications, project descriptions, and professional services marketing materials.
- Technical Writing & Editing: Strong writing, editing, proofreading, and research skills, with the ability to communicate technical information clearly and persuasively.
- Design & Software Skills: Proficiency in Adobe InDesign and Microsoft Office, particularly Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
- Organization & Attention to Detail: Ability to manage competing priorities, maintain accuracy, and meet deadlines.
- Initiative & Independence: A self-motivated approach, with the ability to take ownership of assignments, anticipate next steps, and proactively communicate when additional work or guidance is needed.
- Communication & Collaboration: A personable, professional, and adaptable communication style, with the ability to work effectively with different personalities and working styles.
- Flexibility & Curiosity: Willingness to learn, contribute ideas, take on varied assignments, and support teammates when priorities shift.
3 or more years of relevant experience is preferred, although we welcome candidates with different levels of experience who demonstrate strong skills and a genuine interest in AEC marketing.
Why This Role Is Different
Broader AEC Exposure
Most AEC marketing professionals support a single firm. At Kenney and Associates, you'll work with multiple architecture, engineering, and construction clients across different markets, disciplines, and project types, gaining valuable exposure to a wide range of marketing and business development approaches.
Meaningful, Varied Work
You'll contribute to real pursuits and client initiatives, combining proposal development, technical writing, research, visual communication, and project coordination. No two clients or projects are exactly alike.
A Collaborative, Fully Remote Team
We're a small team that works closely together throughout the day, sharing knowledge, exchanging ideas, and supporting one another in meeting deadlines. We value clear communication, reliability, initiative, and a positive, collaborative approach.
Opportunity to Grow
You'll have opportunities to broaden your AEC industry knowledge, develop your proposal and marketing skills, and take on increasing responsibility as you gain experience.
