WHO WE ARE

The SPS+ team serves clients and communities across Arizona and beyond, specializing in K–12 education while also bringing expertise to various other sectors. Our commitment to understanding our clients’ needs and desires drives us to uncover possibilities and design purposeful, impactful, and meaningful spaces that serve for generations to come. With over 60 years of Southwest experience, deeply rooted in servant leadership, we thrive on solving client challenges and delivering projects and solutions that consistently exceed expectations.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are seeking a proactive, strategic, and hands-on Director of Marketing to lead and execute the firm’s marketing efforts. This role is pivotal in driving the success of our pursuits—particularly through the development of compelling RFQ/RFP responses and preparation for oral presentations. The Director will ensure that our strategy is fully realized across all marketing touchpoints and will play a key role in helping SPS+ win work.

• Support conference planning, client presentations, and event preparation.
• Maintain and manage the CRM and marketing database to track opportunities, leads, and client interactions.

Events & Industry Engagement

• Plan and coordinate industry conferences, sponsorships, and networking events.
• Develop and manage conference materials, booth design, and marketing collateral.
• Assist with internal company events that reflect SPS+’s culture and branding.

Marketing Operations & Administration

• Oversee the firm’s marketing/BD calendar, budgets, and project deadlines.
