The posting

The Opportunity

Emerald Design Works is looking for a Marketing & Business Development Specialist to build and run the marketing that drives our business growth. You’ll plan and coordinate our marketing efforts, including our third-party marketing partners, create the content and tools that help our business development and partnership leaders win new opportunities, and manage our HubSpot platform to track and improve results

This is an on-site role based in our River North office in Chicago or our downtown Greensboro, NC office, reporting to the Chief Executive Officer and directly supporting the Director of Strategic Partnerships.

What You’ll Own

As our Marketing Specialist and Business Development Specialist, you’ll work hands-on across marketing, business development and operations as part of an intentionally small team.

You will:

  • Coordinate all marketing activity through a shared marketing calendar, including the e-newsletter, social media, website updates, and conferences and events from registration and logistics to booth materials and follow-up
  • Create marketing material using Canva, Photoshop or similar software
  • Coordinate with third-party marketing partners on scope, timelines, deliverables, and budget
  • Support the CEO and the Director of Strategic Partnerships with research, meeting prep, and follow-up on prospects and partners
  • Prepare proposals, presentations, pitch decks, and tailored materials for client and partner pursuits
  • Track pipeline and partnership activity, keep next steps moving, and flag opportunities that need attention
  • Create and maintain collateral (case studies, proposals, one-pagers, and email templates) in an organized HubSpot content library, keeping messaging and positioning consistent across sales and marketing
  • Document and refine the business development process, qualification criteria, and pipeline stages, and train new interior designers on how we win work and their role in it
  • Serve as the HubSpot administrator: users, permissions, properties, pipelines, workflows, and integrations
  • Keep CRM data clean and complete, set standards for how deals, contacts, and activities are logged, and train the team on HubSpot
  • Build dashboards and reports on pipeline, win rates, and marketing results, and report findings to leadership
  • Manage all Master Service Agreements, Statements of Work, and Procurement Proposals from draft to fully executed, checking every document for accuracy in scope, pricing, terms, dates, and client details
  • Track signatures, follow up on outstanding agreements, and keep an organized contract record
  • And because we’re an intentionally small team, you’ll step in where needed to keep the business development engine moving

What We’re Looking For

  • 3+ years in sales enablement, business development support, sales or marketing operations, or B2B sales
  • Experience creating proposals, presentations, or sales content that helped win business
  • Strong writing and presentation skills; you can turn complex offerings into clear, persuasive material
  • CRM (ideally HubSpot) administration experience, including workflows, pipelines, reporting, and data management
  • Experience coordinating marketing, including newsletters, social media, events, and website updates, and comfort managing outside agencies and partners
  • Exceptional attention to detail, especially with contracts such as MSAs and SOWs; organized and able to juggle several priorities at once
  • Experience in design, creative, or professional services, or supporting strategic partnerships or channel programs, is a plus
  • Basic design skills (Canva, PowerPoint, Figma) and familiarity with e-signature and contract tools such as DocuSign or PandaDoc are a plus

Why Emerald

We’re building a national commercial interiors company around one idea: exceptional design deserves exceptional delivery.

You’ll join us at a pivotal time, helping shape how Emerald wins work, tells its story, and builds the business development engine behind our growth.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
