We believe architecture is more than buildings, it’s a catalyst for positive change. For over three decades, we’ve collaborated with clients and communities to design spaces that are inclusive, sustainable, and transformative. From cultural institutions and educational facilities to innovative housing solutions, our work reflects a belief in open architecture, design that connects people and strengthens communities.

We’re seeking a Proposals Manager who thrives on the chase of winning new work. This is not a back-office, process-only role. It’s a chance to bring creativity, strategy, and determination to every pursuit, crafting compelling narratives, spotting opportunities, and finding innovative ways to position us for success.

Your Role

As Proposals Manager, you’ll take the lead on proposals, presentations, and communications that showcase our vision and impact. Working closely with our Director of Business Development and Communications, you’ll shape stories that highlight how design can advance equity, culture, and sustainability. You’ll also bring a flexible, can-do mindset, stepping beyond the job description when needed to ensure we put our best work forward.

What You’ll Do

• Own the end-to-end proposal process, coordinating across internal teams and external consultants.

• Craft clear, persuasive content that reflects our collaborative ethos and design philosophy.

• Collaborate with our in-house Graphic Designer to deliver polished, visually compelling materials.

• Continuously refine our pursuit strategies and RFP processes to improve impact.

• Curate and maintain our project portfolio, showcasing the breadth of our work.

• See each pursuit as a chance to innovate, shifting the conversation from obstacles to opportunities.

What You Bring

• Exceptional writing and editing skills; you know how to turn complex ideas into compelling stories.

• Proficiency with InDesign and a sharp eye for design.

• A collaborative, flexible approach, you are not afraid to roll up your sleeves.

• Positivity and resilience, with the mindset that every pursuit is an opportunity to learn and grow.

• 5+ years of experience in proposals, marketing, or communications, ideally in the AEC industry.

• A diploma or degree in marketing, communications, architecture, journalism, or a related field.

What We Offer

We’re invested in the growth and well-being of our team. You’ll enjoy:

• Competitive salary and benefits, including flexible group insurance and wellness supports.

• Paid time off and coverage for professional association fees.

• A collaborative, creative culture where innovation and initiative are valued.

• The opportunity to shape proposals for projects that truly matter, designs that foster equity, resilience, and belonging.

If you’re passionate about design, energized by the challenge of winning new work, and ready to bring creativity and strategy to every pursuit, we’d love to hear from you.
