Marketing Assistant/Marketing Admin (Entry Level)

KPFF is seeking a Marketing Assistant/Marketing Admin to join the collaborative Oregon civil marketing team where there’s never a dull moment. This group supports the firm’s Portland, Eugene, and Washington DC civil engineering and land survey services.

This full-time position can be based out of the Portland or Eugene office. We operate in a flexible, hybrid environment (expectation of 3 days per week in-office following onboarding period). No technical knowledge of engineering is needed, but the ability to communicate to a generalist audience is important. We are a small team where everyone pitches in to support general office work, like data entry and employee engagement.

A typical day in this role may look like:

You start your day with a morning Teams meeting with your marketing team to go over the workload and goals for the day. If it's an in-office day, you will work around nice and fun professionals in a comfortable space. The Portland office is on the bus mall with tons of access to public transportation, our floor has sweeping views and proximity to food carts and restaurants for lunch. Our building has many tenant amenities including an on-site gym, secured bike parking and locker rooms, and weekly yoga classes. The Eugene office is in a downtown office building with ample daylight, within walking distance of food carts, shops, and restaurants. If it's a WFH day, you'll still be connected via Teams and VPN to participate in video calls and meetings.

Responsibilities include various administrative tasks, digital asset management, proofreading, writing and copy-editing, research, contributing to our CRM (Deltek Vantagepoint), supporting events and career fairs, and other as-needed projects.

We’ll challenge you to stretch outside your comfort zone and you’ll be given opportunities for growth and increased responsibility.
