The Proposals Specialist will collaborate with sales teams and senior leadership to develop well-organized, winning proposals and RFP responses. This role requires someone who is strategic, process-oriented, and systems-minded—ready to bring structure, creativity, and best practices to a traditionally siloed process.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Write, edit, and develop strategic, client-focused RFP responses and proposals.

  • Partner with sales and internal teams to gather information, clarify goals, and shape narrative direction.
  • Maintain and continuously improve the library of responses to frequently asked questions.
  • Tidy and standardize formatting in Microsoft Word documents, ensuring visual consistency, readability, and compliance with branding guidelines.
  • Ensure compliance with submission procedures, archiving, and quality control.

Required Skills and Experience:

  • Bachelor’s degree in English, communications, marketing, journalism, or related field.
  • Minimum of 2 years’ direct experience in strategic proposal writing/editing and RFP management or a related role in sales, sales support, or any position requiring persuasive writing.
  • Demonstrated ability to self-review and refine work to ensure clarity, accuracy, and alignment with brand and proposal objectives.
  • Experience working cross-functionally with leadership and sales teams.
  • Dynamic, proactive, and solutions-oriented mindset.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, and excellent formatting skills in Word and Excel
