Job Description

Senior Proposal Manager

Trellint

• Manage the full bid lifecycle for 8-12 major municipal RFPs per year: kickoff, compliance matrix, schedule, review cycles, production, and on-time submission. • Build and maintain bid governance processes that create predictability and accountability across contributing teams. • Track and manage all RFP requirements, addenda, and clarifications; flag compliance risks early and resolve them before they become submission issues. • Own the go/no-go input process and maintain a bid calendar that gives leadership clear line-of-sight into upcoming pipeline. • Develop the win theme and narrative strategy for each bid in partnership with Sales; ensure that strategy is consistently reflected across every section of the response. • Write and edit executive summaries, company overviews, approach narratives, implementation plans, and other long-form sections. • Conduct structured SME interviews and working sessions to extract technical, operational, and compliance content; translate that input into polished proposal language. • Review all contributed sections for consistency of voice, accuracy, and alignment with the win story; push back when content doesn’t serve the response. • Build and maintain a reusable proposal content library: baseline answers to common RFP questions and technical requirements, modular narrative blocks, case studies, client references, proof points, certifications, and past performance documentation. • Continuously improve library content based on evaluation feedback, new contract wins, and product and capability updates. • Develop and maintain standard templates for common response structures used in municipal technology procurement. • Use AI tools actively to accelerate first-draft generation, content adaptation, and library search - with clear personal quality controls for accuracy, compliance, and confidentiality. • Help establish and follow internal protocols around what proposal content and client data can appropriately be used with AI tooling. • Stay current on emerging AI capabilities relevant to proposal development; identify and recommend tooling improvements over time.

Job Requirements

  • 5+ years of proposal management or bid writing experience, with direct ownership of complex, long-form RFP responses.
  • Demonstrated experience in public-sector or regulated B2G technology procurement.
  • Strong writing and editing skills — you need to be able to show us proposals you wrote, not just managed.
  • Experience coordinating multi-stakeholder input processes and holding contributors to deadlines without formal authority.
  • Hands-on familiarity with AI writing and productivity tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, or similar).
  • Exceptional organizational and project management skills; comfortable owning multiple concurrent workstreams under deadline pressure.
  • Preferred APMP certification or equivalent formal proposal methodology training.
  • Experience with municipal parking, curbside management, citation processing, or adjacent public-sector technology sectors.
  • Familiarity with public procurement frameworks and common RFP structures used by US municipalities and transportation authorities.
  • Experience building or significantly improving a proposal content library from the ground up.
