Requirements - Ability to stay organized and maintain a professional, solutions-based attitude during fast-paced proposal cycles and tight deadlines. - Perform continual active RFP/RFQ surveillance, including distribution of Q&As and modifications. - Lead the administrative aspects of the proposal and capture processes, including teaming agreement and data call coordination, kickoff meetings, color team reviews (Pink, Red, Gold), and final production. - Support the deconstruction of RFPs/RFQs to create compliance matrices and proposal outlines that ensure every "shall" statement is addressed. - Take ownership of proposal schedules, proactively tracking actions and following up with contributors to ensure internal milestones are met. - Manage the proposal workspace (SharePoint, Teams, SalesForce, and Preveil), maintaining version control and ensuring security protocols for sensitive data are followed. - Format complex documents to meet strict RFP requirements regarding margins, fonts, and page limits. - Support final production and submissions activities to ensure a compliant, polished proposal package. - Coordinate responses to Evaluation Notices (ENs) and maintain a library of "evergreen" content (past performance, resumes, and corporate capabilities). Benefits - Salary and benefits will be commensurate with experience, expertise, education, and potential. - Competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package. - Employee will be included in uncapped Corporate Growth bonus incentive program.
