* Life Sciences Domain Focus+ Develop proposals and pitch materials tailored to pharmaceutical, biotech, and life sciences sponsor/CRO opportunities.+ Stay current on life sciences industry trends, regulatory considerations, and the competitive landscape to sharpen proposal positioning.+ Work with sales/BD leads to shape win themes and value propositions specific to life sciences accounts.
* Cross-Domain Technical Fluency+ Build working knowledge of Clinical Technology (EDC, IRT, ePRO, eCOA), Data Engineering & Data Science (ETL, analytics, AI/ML), and Supply Chain solutions to represent offerings accurately in proposals.+ Coordinate with technical and delivery teams to gather accurate scope, staffing, and delivery-approach details for each pursuit.
* Stakeholder & Campus Engagement+ Support engagement with Tier 1 and Tier 2 engineering/management institutes for talent sourcing, employer branding, or academic collaboration tied to business development initiatives.+ Represent the organization in campus interactions and coordinate with HR/Talent Acquisition on related activities.
* Process & Quality+ Ensure every proposal meets formatting, compliance, and brand standards before submission.+ Drive continuous improvement of proposal templates, playbooks, and processes.+ Track win/loss metrics and feed lessons learned back into future proposals.

* Required Qualifications:
*** Bachelor's or master's degree from a Tier 1 or Tier 2 institute (engineering, life sciences, business, or a related field).
* 4+ years of overall professional experience, including at least 2 years specifically in proposal development or bid management.
