COMPANY OVERVIEW

SCC is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) specializing in federal acquisition support, program and project management, and professional training services. SCC's Training Division delivers high-quality, mission-aligned instructional support and workforce development solutions to a diverse portfolio of federal customers. As our Training Division continues to grow, we are seeking a detail-oriented and motivated Business Development & Proposal Specialist to support our training-focused BD and proposal efforts.

POSITION SUMMARY

The Business Development & Proposal Specialist – Training Division is a key member of the SCC BD team with primary responsibility for identifying, pursuing, and responding to federal training and education contract opportunities. This role encompasses the full near-term proposal lifecycle — from opportunity sourcing and government customer intake through proposal writing, editing, formatting, submission, and follow-up. The position primarily supports shorter-cycle, lower-dollar training solicitations (generally $5,000–$250,000) while also providing proposal writing and coordination support to broader Corporate BD efforts as needed.

The ideal candidate is an organized, articulate communicator who can produce polished, compliant proposal responses on tight deadlines with minimal supervision.

• Write clear, persuasive technical and management narratives that articulate SCC's training capabilities, past performance, and value proposition.
• Ensure proposals are fully compliant with solicitation requirements, including formatting, page limits, attachments, and certification requirements.
• Manage proposal timelines and internal deadlines; coordinate review cycles and incorporate feedback from subject matter experts and leadership.
• Package and submit final proposals through required platforms (GSA eBuy, SAM.gov, email submission, or other designated portals) in strict accordance with solicitation instructions.
• Perform post-submission follow-up with contracting offices as appropriate; track award status and document outcomes in the pipeline tracker.
