• Tailor content to executive buyers, procurement teams, and line-of-business leaders.
• Lead color team reviews and risk mitigation efforts.

• Partner with the Senior Business Intelligence Architect to operationalize capture strategies.
• Embed win themes, discriminators, and agency mission drivers throughout proposal content.
• Provide candid bid/no-bid and proposal readiness assessments.

• Lead development and maintenance of technical, management, staffing, resumes, capability statements, and past performance volumes.
• Edit and integrate SME inputs into clear, persuasive, evaluator-focused narratives.
• Ensure proposals are structured to maximize scoring against evaluation criteria.
• Ensure proposals reflect consistent brand voice, quality, and professionalism.

• Coordinate inputs from operations, finance, HR/recruiting, contracts, and leadership.
• Manage subcontractor and teaming partner compliance, content, and integration.
• Align technical solutions with pricing assumptions and staffing plans.

• Build and refine scalable federal proposal processes, tools, and content libraries.
• Lead post-award and post-loss debriefs; institutionalize lessons learned to strengthen future pursuits.

• 7–10+ years of federal and/or commercial proposal management experience.
• Strong working knowledge of FAR-based solicitations and source selection processes.
• Strong collaboration, writing, editing, deadline management, and leadership skills.

• APMP Practitioner or Professional certification or equivalent a plus.
• Experience supporting civilian agencies and/or DoD.
• Experience in professional services or consulting environments.
• Experience in SBA small business environments (8(a), SDVOSB, HUBZone).
