• Keep our CRM database, website, and marketing materials current and accurate.

Connect and Communicate:

• Coordinate marketing materials and timelines for coalition events, publications, and education sessions.
• Update coalition leadership and members with clear, timely communications.
• Keep resource pages, email lists, and social channels fresh and up-to-date.
• Partner with ACEC’s Marketing & Communications team to get the word out.

Make Events Shine:

• Help plan and prep for in-person events, from assembling materials to on-site support and logistics.
• Liaise with hotels and vendors to make sure everything runs smoothly.

Keep Our Website Useful:

• Make sure members always have access to the latest resources and tools.

Track Progress and Improve:

• Pull reports on membership, event attendance, and publication sales.
• Attend coalition meetings and ensure follow-ups are clear and complete.
• Spot opportunities to streamline processes and propose creative solutions.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent work experience.

• Comfortable with Microsoft Office and CRM databases (NetForum experience is a plus!).
• Experience with website platforms (WordPress or similar).
• Great written and verbal communication skills — you’re not afraid to pick up the phone or jump into a meeting.
• Strong attention to detail, organization, and time management.
• A positive, proactive attitude and love for working with a team.
• Bonus: Experience with HubSpot, Canva, or an interest in the engineering industry.

Why You’ll Love It Here:

• You’ll have the chance to take ownership, share ideas, and make your mark on our coalitions and member education programs.
