Senior Manager, Strategic Marketing - Advanced Manufacturing & Life Sciences

ABOUT YOU

ARCO Design/Build is a national leader in design-build engineering and construction, delivering integrated project solutions for the world's most demanding industrial and manufacturing environments. Our Advanced Manufacturing & Life Sciences line of business serves clients across pharmaceuticals, biotech, advanced materials, metals, automotive, clean energy, aerospace and defense, and next-generation manufacturing - with a portfolio of target markets that continues to expand as U.S. industrial investment evolves.

We are seeking a Senior Manager of Strategic Marketing to serve as the dedicated marketing partner for our Advanced Manufacturing & Life Sciences line of business, headquartered in Raleigh, NC. This is a high-impact, highly visible role that sits at the intersection of marketing strategy, business development, and capital project intelligence. The ideal candidate brings deep fluency in the engineering and construction (E&C) industry, a working knowledge of capital project execution, and the ability to build and execute marketing programs that resonate with sophisticated industrial clients - both domestically and internationally.

This role demands someone who can operate at speed, manage complexity without losing precision, and take full ownership of outcomes that matter to the growth of the business. As ARCO's footprint in advanced manufacturing grows, this role will evolve with it - with the expectation that the right candidate will help identify and activate new market verticals as opportunities emerge.

This is not a role for someone who punches the clock and checks the box. We are looking for a marketing professional who finds a way, brings energy and precision to everything they touch, and holds themselves accountable to outcomes - not just activity. Above all, we are looking for someone who brings the full package - strategic horsepower, executional discipline, and the personal character to be the kind of marketing partner our leaders genuinely want in their corner.
