Marketing & Communications Coordinator

Washington, DC Metro Region, OR Colorado Springs, CO

Work from Home with some travel

Our Mission: Connect, protect, and secure

@Orchard is supporting an organization that is redefining communications for critical and enterprise operations. Their purpose is to keep people connected, no matter what. They build easy-to-operate, hard-to-destroy technology for the people who expect security and performance that never wavers—in defense, industry, and everywhere critical decisions happen.

We are looking for a Marketing & Communications Coordinator who is an operational powerhouse. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and find energy in flawless execution, logistics, and coordination, we want to talk to you.

About the Role: The Operational Center

You are the engine of our marketing team, the central hub for execution. You will be the heart of the processes, timelines, and deliverables that keep our campaigns, media efforts, and events moving with precision. Your work is the critical link that delivers our client's message to the right audience at the right time, supporting those who depend on our technology.

We're seeking a 'get-it-done' professional who loves structure, organization, and execution, and who can masterfully juggle PR coordination and marketing operations. This is NOT a role for someone aspiring to be on the design/creative side of marketing; it is all about ensuring we get the job done with excellence of execution.

What You’ll Do: Drive Impact

• Amplify Our Story: Manage media outreach, track press opportunities, and coordinate with external partners to ensure our voice is heard.
• Arm the Front Lines: Assist in drafting powerful press releases, media pitches, and executive talking points that communicate value and mission.
• Run the Playbook: Coordinate and execute email messaging, social media campaigns, and content publishing schedules. You'll analyze the metrics to help see what's working and what's next.
• Execute Flawless Events: Support all logistics for trade shows and events—managing outreach, booth preparation, collateral, and post-event reporting. You may be required to attend certain events and shows to manage the on-site logistics.
• Protect the Brand: Be the guardian of all marketing assets, maintaining version control and ensuring all brand and product materials are accurate, updated, and mission-ready.
• Be the Central Hub: Serve as the vital link between marketing, sales, and leadership to ensure messaging is aligned and everyone is moving in lockstep.
• Support the Team: Bolster internal communications and executive visibility programs to keep our own team informed and inspired.

What You’ll Bring: The Profile

• A bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Communications, or a related field.
• 2+ years of current experience in operational marketing, digital marketing, or communications, ideally from a start-up or high-growth GovTech or GovCon company, a marketing agency, or a similar fast-paced commercial enterprise.
• Exceptional organizational and project management skills with a rigorous attention to detail.
• Exceptional writing and editing skills.
• Proven ability to manage work remotely with self-discipline. Handling multiple priorities and meeting deadlines under pressure.
• A proactive, solution-oriented mindset— you’re already thinking about what’s next while finishing what’s now.
• The ability to confidently communicate with leaders, including during pressure situations.
• A willingness to travel when requested to attend and manage the logistics of events, trade shows, etc. If you are in Colorado Springs, this will include on-site events at the Headquarters with clients.
• Experience with scheduling tools, asset management systems, or CRMs is a major plus.
• Experience working within a start-up or high-growth organization where a degree of situational ambiguity and rapidly shifting priorities can happen will prove very useful.

Why Join Us?

• A Meaningful Mission: Work on projects that directly support national security in the AI era—where security is constant and progress never powers down. Your work has a real-world impact.
• Be an Owner: Join a fast-moving, high-growth team where your contribution is visible and vital.
