Internal Marketing Manager in Washington, District of Columbia at Streetsense

Streetsense is a global, award-winning creative collective of strategists, designers, architects, marketers, and storytellers. We don’t just design spaces or launch brands - we create destinations and experiences that resonate, connect, and endure. From reimagining entire neighborhoods to launching iconic restaurants, bars and hotels, our work sparks conversation and connection that builds lasting cultural relevance.

Whether transforming hospitality, elevating real estate, or redefining retail, we partner with visionary clients to create experiences and destinations people don’t just visit – they love. Our integrated model - spanning consulting, branding, marketing, and interior architecture, breaks down silos, pushes boundaries, tells bold stories, and delivers transformative results.

The ideal candidate is equal parts strategic thinker, business development partner, project manager, content creator, and brand steward - someone who can help shape and executive initiatives that elevate Streetsense’s visibility, reputation and market positioning. This person should be comfortable contributing at both a strategic and tactical level – helping drive ideas forward while also independently executing marketing materials, presentations, newsletters and branded collateral.

This role sits within Streetsense’s Growth Team and serves as a strategic liaison between our Growth and Agency teams, helping move marketing initiatives, proposals, thought leadership, and brand storytelling forward across the organization.
