Greystones is hiring for a Part-time, Proposal Manager to lead the development and delivery of compliant, compelling proposals across our federal and Department of War (DoW) pursuits. This role owns the end-to-end proposal lifecycle (from solicitation analysis and kickoff through outline development, content management, color-team reviews, production, and submission) for RFPs, RFIs, sources-sought notices, and task order responses. The ideal candidate is an experienced proposal professional who has managed responses to DoD solicitations, SeaPort (SeaPort-NxG) task order requests, and Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) opportunities, and who can move quickly, manage multiple contributors, and produce high-quality submissions under tight deadlines. This is a flexible, project-based role well suited to a seasoned proposal manager who wants meaningful, mission-focused work without a full-time commitment.

This is a remote, part-time position within the Contracts department, reporting to the Director of Operations.
