Marketing and graphics associate
at SITU
SITU is seeking a marketing and graphics associate to join its team in Brooklyn.
About us
SITU was founded in 2005, in Brooklyn, New York, by four friends studying architecture at the Cooper Union. We’ve shaped our practice out of the multi-disciplinary style of our education, and have grown through clients who value a progressive approach to problem-solving. We now employ a staff of over 35 people.
Our process is client-specific, adaptive and driven by a diversity of deep knowledge, untethered from any stylistic or formal agenda. This allows us to work out of bounds, using new tools of architecture to generate unique outcomes.
Our practice is composed of three divisions—Studio, Research, and Fabrication—that work collaboratively while providing individual services. This keeps prototyping, research and development, and hands-on craft elemental to our creative process.

About you
We don’t know you yet, but we imagine that you have a broad set of interests and skills, and that you wouldn’t be happy focusing on just one of them. You have been working in a marketing- or communications-related field for at least two years, possess a strong graphic design toolset and are looking for a company to get excited about.

Your experiences have equipped you with a strong sense of storytelling, and you understand how to leverage design, branding, photo documentation and visual presentation in building a narrative that feels authentic, compelling and accessible to diverse audiences. You are passionate about expressing ideas that don’t fit the mold, so you enjoy ideating and experimenting on the fly, but you also strive to systematise our workflows whenever appropriate. Overall, you are someone who is dedicated to producing good work, and you understand that supporting your team and knowing when to ask for help are both key to achieving that goal.
