Marketing & Communications Manager

Jensen Architects | San Francisco, CA

Jensen Architects is an award-winning, 30-person architecture practice based in San Francisco. Our work spans cultural, educational, residential, and workplace projects at a variety of scales. We approach design with curiosity and rigor, exploring ideas, materials, and innovative construction techniques to create spaces that are thoughtful, elegant, and environmentally sensitive.

The Role

We’re looking for someone who gets as excited about a beautifully curated Instagram feed as they do about a perfectly organized project database. Someone who sees the big picture without losing sight of the smallest details, brings order to complexity, and knows how to turn great ideas into great execution.

As our Marketing & Communications Manager, you'll shape how Jensen tells its stories, presents its work, and pursues new opportunities. Working closely with studio leadership, design teams, and external consultants, you'll balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution.

You're a natural organizer, thoughtful storyteller, and proactive problem-solver who takes ownership from concept to completion, and everything in between.

What You'll Do

• Own the marketing calendar, managing multiple projects, stakeholders, priorities, and deadlines.
• Write, edit, and curate compelling stories about our projects that make complex design ideas accessible.
• Execute highly organized RFQ/RFP pursuits, including strategy, content development, consultant coordination, and submission.
• Direct award submissions and coordinate press opportunities to elevate Jensen's visibility and recognition.
• Manage website content, social media, newsletters, and digital communications.
• Maintain accurate and organized project data, CRM records, imagery, and marketing assets.
• Partner with leadership to develop and execute marketing and business development initiatives.
• Lead initiatives from planning and production through timely delivery and archiving, while continually improving workflows and processes for greater efficiency and organization.
• Collaborate with PR consultants to maintain Jensen's voice and visual identity across channels.
• Track pursuits, outcomes, and opportunities for improvement.
• Research prospective clients, sectors, and business opportunities.

What You Bring

• 6+ years of experience in marketing, communications, or business development, ideally within architecture, design, or another creative professional services environment.
• Exceptional project management skills and meticulous attention to detail.
• Strong writing, editing, and visual communication skills, with an eye for compelling storytelling and thoughtful design.
• Experience producing proposals, presentations, digital content, and marketing collateral; familiarity with RFQ/RFP processes, awards, and publications preferred.
• Mastery of the Adobe Creative Suite, particularly InDesign, and familiarity with Copper CRM, content management, and digital asset management systems.
• Experience improving marketing workflows, organizing project information, or implementing new systems.
• A proactive, resourceful mindset and the ability to move comfortably between strategic thinking and hands-on execution.
• Enthusiasm about architecture, design, and the creative process.

Benefits

• Competitive salary commensurate with experience
• Jensen offers a competitive benefi ts package including medical, dental, disability, 401k plan, PTO, and cell phone stipend.
