We build big things. We're looking for someone who thinks big, too.
Now, we're looking for an experienced marketing leader who can help us tell that story-and write the next chapter.
Not someone who needs a playbook.
Someone who wants to build one.
The Opportunity
We're searching for a Director of Marketing & Communications to take ownership of our marketing strategy, strengthen our brand, and help position Buffalo Builders for continued growth.
This isn't a role where you'll inherit a large department, a perfectly mapped-out marketing strategy, or a long list of instructions.
You'll have something better: the opportunity to shape the future of marketing at a growing commercial construction company, work directly with our CEO, and build a function that makes a measurable difference.
You'll start as a team of one, supported by external partners and colleagues across the business. As you establish the strategy, you'll have the opportunity to build your own team, determine the right mix of internal and external resources, and create something that can scale with us.
And because we're looking for a long-term leader, not simply someone to fill a position, there's a meaningful opportunity to grow into a Vice President of Marketing role as the function matures and you demonstrate the leadership, ownership, and business impact to take it there.
What You'll Own
The Strategy
You'll develop and lead a marketing strategy that supports where Buffalo Builders is today and where we're headed tomorrow. You'll identify opportunities, establish priorities, build budgets, measure results, and connect marketing efforts to real business outcomes.
The Brand
You'll become the champion of the Buffalo Builders brand-our voice, our personality, our reputation, and the stories that make us different. From digital campaigns to project spotlights, you'll ensure that what the world sees reflects who we are.
The Pursuits
In commercial construction, winning work is everything. You'll partner closely with business development, estimating, preconstruction, and operations to elevate our proposals, RFQs, RFPs, qualifications packages, and client presentations. You'll help us tell a more compelling story about why Buffalo Builders should be the partner of choice.
The Storytelling
Our projects, people, clients, and communities give us plenty worth talking about. You'll find those stories and bring them to life through compelling content, thought leadership, digital marketing, public relations, and creative campaigns.
The Relationships
You'll collaborate with leaders throughout the company, understand what matters to our clients, and ensure marketing is working hand in hand with business development-not operating in a silo.
The Team
You'll help determine what our future marketing organization should look like. That means evaluating our agency partnerships, identifying the right talent, and eventually hiring and leading a team that can bring your vision to life.
Who Thrives Here?
We're going to be upfront: Buffalo Builders isn't a place where someone hands you a detailed roadmap and checks in every hour to make sure you're following it.
We're entrepreneurial, fast-moving, and results-oriented. We trust people to use good judgment, take initiative, and figure things out.
You'll likely love it here if:
- You're a strategic thinker who is equally comfortable rolling up your sleeves and making things happen.
- You see ambiguity as an opportunity to create clarity, not a reason to wait.
- You're confident enough to bring ideas to the table, challenge conventional thinking, and make a recommendation.
- You take ownership. When something needs to happen, you don't wait for someone else to make it happen.
- You understand that great marketing is about more than beautiful design-it's about influencing decisions, strengthening relationships, and driving business.
- You know how to earn the trust of executives, collaborate across departments, and bring people along with your ideas.
- You care about the details, but you don't let perfection get in the way of progress.
- You have a sense of humor, a healthy dose of humility, and genuinely enjoy working with good people who care about what they do.
We're not looking for someone who has all the answers on day one.
We're looking for someone who knows how to find them, make smart decisions, and turn them into results.
What You Bring to the Table
Ideally, you'll have:
- 10+ years of progressive experience in marketing, communications, brand strategy, or a related discipline.
- Experience leading marketing strategy, managing budgets, and delivering measurable business results.
- A strong understanding of B2B marketing, complex sales cycles, and relationship-driven businesses.
- Experience in commercial construction, architecture, engineering, or a related industry-strongly preferred.
- Experience developing high-impact proposals, presentations, or pursuit strategies.
- Exceptional writing, storytelling, communication, and executive presentation skills.
- The ability to build relationships, influence stakeholders, and operate independently.
- Experience managing agencies, creative partners, and/or marketing teams.
- The confidence and judgment to lead a function today and build an organization for tomorrow.
A degree in marketing, communications, business, or a related field is welcome, but demonstrated experience, sound judgment, and results matter more to us than a particular credential.
Why Buffalo Builders?
Because you want more than a marketing job.
You want a seat at the table. A chance to make decisions. An opportunity to put your fingerprints on a growing company.
You'll work directly with our CEO, have a voice in our direction, and help build the strategy, systems, and team that will support our next chapter.
We offer a competitive compensation and benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) with company matching, paid time off, paid holidays, and participation in our company profit-sharing program.
And perhaps most importantly, you'll work alongside people who care deeply about their work, their teammates, and the reputation we're building together.
Ready to Build Something?
If you're an experienced marketing leader who wants the freedom to think strategically, the responsibility to make things happen, and the opportunity to build something that lasts, we'd love to meet you.
Bring your ideas. Bring your experience. Bring your ambition.
We'll bring the opportunity.
Buffalo Builders - Great projects start with great people.
