About the role

This is not a traditional marketing manager role.
The ownership group brings deep technical credibility and strong client loyalty; you bring the business development acumen and market strategy to convert that foundation into sustained, scalable growth.
The right candidate has done this before in an AEC or technical professional services context.

Own multi-level client relationship management across MNA's key accounts - structured touchpoints, executive meetings, and proactive outreach that spans project managers, principals, and ownership
Serve as a senior relationship lead with key clients; attend client events, facility visits, and strategic planning sessions
Develop and execute a client satisfaction and retention program; identify at-risk relationships and lead recovery efforts
Build relationships with prospective clients - research, introductions, and long-cycle relationship development in target sectors Market Presence & Content
Recruit, develop, and manage the marketing team (Coordinator and Specialist levels)
MNA has no incumbent marketing infrastructure - you will build it.
You will set strategy, hire and develop staff, manage client relationships at the executive level, and represent the firm externally.

A formal degree matters far less than a track record of results in this industry.

Candidates without meaningful AEC market experience will not be considered, regardless of marketing credentials.
8-12+ years of progressive marketing and business development experience, with the majority in AEC, engineering, construction, owner's representation, or a closely related technical services sector
Experience managing multi-level client relationships in a B2B professional services context - you have sat across the table from facility managers, capital project directors, and C-suite owners
Strong executive-level communication skills - written, verbal, and in-person presentation
Familiarity with CRM platforms
Deltek or similar AEC business development tools a significant plus
Proficiency in or working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign primary)
Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Business, Communications, or a related field is preferred - a demonstrable record of results in AEC business development carries equal or greater weight WHY MNA?

Meaningful equity or compensation upside as the firm scales - structure to be discussed with qualified candidates

We are not in a position to train someone on the dynamics of this industry while also asking them to lead our growth.
