Key Responsibilities:
Full Lifecycle Proposal Management:
  • Lead the end-to-end development of federal proposals from opportunity qualification through final submission.
  • Manage multiple Requests for Proposal (RFPs), Requests for Information (RFIs), Sources Sought notices, and task order responses, often under accelerated timelines.
  • Analyze solicitation documents to identify customer requirements and formulate winning proposal strategies.
  • Develop proposal schedules, compliance matrices, outlines, writing assignments, and production timelines.
  • Coordinate kickoff meetings, solutioning sessions, color team reviews, and final production activities.
  • Implement and maintain version control, document management, and proposal configuration processes.
  • Ensure all proposals comply with solicitation requirements, company standards, and federal procurement regulations.
Content Development & Strategy:
  • Write, edit, and refine compelling content, including Executive Summaries, Technical/Management/Staffing/Transition Plans, Past Performance, Corporate Experience, Quality Assurance, and Key Personnel narratives.
  • Translate complex technical information into clear, persuasive, customer-focused content.
  • Review proposal sections for consistency, accuracy, compliance, grammar, and readability.
  • Maintain and improve proposal templates, reusable content libraries, resumes, and boilerplate language.
Capture Support & Process Improvement:
  • Contribute to win strategies, competitive assessments, customer research, solution development, and messaging.
  • Participate in pipeline reviews, bid/no-bid decisions, and teaming discussions.
  • Develop and implement repeatable proposal management processes, templates, and workflows to improve efficiency, consistency, and overall quality.
  • Help establish a proposal-centered culture by educating internal stakeholders on planning, schedules, and responsibilities.
  • Recommend and implement tools to improve proposal development and collaboration.
Cross-Functional Collaboration:
  • Work remotely with significant autonomy while coordinating with executive leadership, business development, capture managers, technical subject matter experts (SMEs), recruiters, and teaming partners.
  • Track proposal progress and proactively communicate risks, issues, and resource needs to ensure successful execution.
Required Qualifications:
  • Education: Bachelor's degree in Business, Communications, English, Marketing, Journalism, or a related field.
  • Experience: Minimum 5 years of experience managing and writing federal government proposals; experience supporting small business federal contractors is strongly preferred.
  • Technical Skills:
    • Demonstrated success managing multiple simultaneous proposals with minimal supervision.
    • Experience responding to rapid-turnaround task orders, IDIQ contracts, GWACs, and multiple-award vehicles.
    • Working knowledge of Shipley Associates or similar proposal methodologies (certification preferred).
    • Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and collaborative document management platforms.
  • Soft Skills: Exceptional writing, editing, and storytelling skills; ability to work independently in a fully remote, fast-paced environment.
Desired Skills:
  • Experience in capture management, business development, or establishing proposal governance.
  • Working knowledge of FAR, DFARS, and the federal procurement lifecycle.
  • Experience with graphics or visualization tools (e.g., Microsoft Visio, Adobe Creative Suite, PowerPoint).
  • Background supporting DoD, Intelligence Community (IC), or civilian federal agencies.
Performance Expectations (90 120 Days):
  • Standardization: Establish a formal proposal process, including templates, compliance matrices, schedules, and quality review procedures.
  • Infrastructure: Build a centralized content library (reusable content, resumes, past performance, and templates).
  • Execution: Manage multiple proposals with 100% on-time, compliant submissions while implementing repeatable workflows and color team reviews.
  • Metrics: Develop performance metrics (e.g., win rate, turnaround time, compliance rate) to measure success.
  • Collaboration: Serve as the subject matter expert, fostering alignment between leadership, business development, recruiting, and technical teams.
