Senior Proposal & Pursuit Manager

About Pro Source

Pro Source Land Services is a professional services firm supporting infrastructure development throughout the United States. Our work includes right-of-way and land services, title, real estate acquisition, relocation, GIS, and related services supporting transportation, aviation, utility, energy, and other public and private infrastructure projects.

We are seeking an experienced Senior Proposal & Pursuit Manager to take primary ownership of Pro Source’s proposal and qualifications function and help elevate how we pursue and win work.

This is a highly visible, hands‑on role for an accomplished proposal professional who can independently manage everything from straightforward letter proposals and qualifications packages to complex RFP/RFQ responses and Statements of Qualifications.

The successful candidate will combine strong proposal‑management discipline with exceptional writing, editing, organization, judgment, and document‑production skills. This person must be equally comfortable leading the proposal process, managing input from executives and technical subject matter experts, developing persuasive content, and personally producing a polished final submission.

This is not simply a document‑coordination position. We are looking for someone capable of taking ownership of the function, improving our systems and standards, and helping Pro Source consistently present its experience, capabilities, and value at a high professional level.

The Senior Proposal & Pursuit Manager will lead proposal development from initial opportunity through final submission, including:

• Review RFPs, RFQs, SOQs, requests for information, and other solicitations to identify requirements, evaluation criteria, compliance obligations, and submission deadlines.
• Develop proposal strategies, schedules, compliance matrices, outlines, assignments, and production plans.
• Lead proposal kickoff meetings and coordinate input from executive leadership, project managers, technical staff, and other subject matter experts.
• Establish and manage internal deadlines and hold contributors accountable for providing complete and timely information.
• Identify gaps, inconsistencies, or weaknesses in SME input and proactively obtain the information necessary to strengthen the final response.
• Develop proposal themes, differentiators, and messaging that clearly communicate Pro Source’s qualifications, experience, technical approach, and value to the client.
• Write, edit, and develop compelling proposal narratives rather than relying solely on content supplied by technical contributors.
• Prepare simple letter proposals, complex technical proposals, Statements of Qualifications, qualifications packages, letters of interest, and other pursuit materials.
• Translate highly technical, incomplete, or fragmented information into clear, concise, persuasive, and client‑focused content.
• Structure responses around solicitation requirements and evaluation criteria to maximize responsiveness and readability.
• Perform detailed quality‑control reviews for accuracy, responsiveness, grammar, consistency, formatting, and presentation.
• Produce professional final documents using Microsoft Office and Adobe applications.
• Independently develop clean, professional proposal graphics, organizational charts, process diagrams, project sheets, resumes, and other visual elements.
• Maintain and continuously improve employee resumes, project descriptions, project sheets, experience matrices, boilerplate content, proposal templates, and other reusable pursuit materials.
• Maintain an organized and current proposal‑content library that allows information to be efficiently located, updated, and reused.
• Manage electronic submissions and, when necessary, hard‑copy production requirements.
• Track proposal activity, deadlines, submissions, outcomes, and lessons learned.
• Support post‑submission reviews and continuously improve Pro Source’s proposal processes, tools, templates, and standards.
• Assist leadership in evaluating pursuit requirements, level of effort, and proposal strategy as appropriate.
• Manage multiple concurrent pursuits and independently prioritize workload…
