Marketing Specialist

You know that feeling when the plane lands smoothly, the light rail actually shows up on time, or the new school down the street just opened on schedule? Someone made the numbers work to get there — and that's us. LSA has spent over 30 years figuring out what public infrastructure actually costs to build, so airports, transit lines, schools, hospitals, and civic buildings across California (and beyond) get built right.

We're looking for a Marketing Specialist to help us tell that story — and to basically run marketing for our Bay Area team. This is a full-time position with a hybrid schedule, with 3 days a week in our Walnut Creek office.

Why This Role Is Different

• You won't be the 47th person on a giant marketing team. You'll be the marketing engine for our Bay Area office — working closely with our Marketing Manager based in Washington, D.C., but owning the day-to-day here.
• Your work goes straight to principals and project leads. No 4 layers of approval between your draft and the client.
• This is a self-starter role. We'll set you up to win, but we're looking for someone who sees what needs to happen next and just does it — not someone who waits to be told.
• Real growth path: Marketing Specialist Marketing Manager BD/Marketing leadership, with the chance to cross-train into proposal management or business development along the way.
