Join a team of diverse and talented people who are passionate about their work and the communities they serve. Nelson ygaard is seeking to hire a Marketing/Proposal Coordinator to join our marketing team. The coordinator or senior coordinator will work under the direct supervision of the Marketing/Proposal Manager and in partnership with marketing team members and planners across the firm. The work will support proposal preparation from beginning to end, business development including grant tracking, marketing material creation, and pipeline input.

About Us

For more than 35 years, Nelson ygaard has led the transportation planning field with our values-driven approach. We’ve always been guided by the principle of putting people first—designing transportation systems for people, not just cars. This principle also extends to how we operate as a firm. We were founded by two women who believed in the benefits of a more egalitarian workplace, where leadership and creativity can blossom at all levels and where diversity is a core strength.

Today, we are 170 talented and dedicated people in 15 offices across U.S. and Canada who continue to live by those values. What unites us at Nelson ygaard is our steadfast commitment to make the world more just, more sustainable, more connected, and more beautiful.

Nelson ygaard offers a dynamic and self-directed work environment that is fast-paced, congenial, and supportive. This is your opportunity to work with one of the most innovative groups of planners and engineers in the United States, including highly talented junior and support staff. Our firm culture is built upon diversity and creativity. You will be working from one of the Nelson ygaard offices across the US or Canada.

Your Responsibilities:

• Work with sector leaders and planners to both lead and support business development activities, including developing capture plans for pursuits at all stages and managing proposals and interviews from start to finish.

• Assist in maintaining firmwide repository of marketing materials, including creating and updating staff bios, resumes, and project sheets.
• Lead regional business development strategies for your sector (senior).
