• Partner with Sales and SMEs across the organization to gather the right information at the right time
• Turn technical and business input into clear, client-focused messaging that highlights DCM’s value, differentiators and competitive advantages
• Keep quality high and surprises low by checking every submission for accuracy, consistency, readability, brand alignment, compliance and completeness
• Manage multiple proposals and competing priorities without losing sight of the details, the deadline or the bigger strategic picture
• Identify and communicate risks early, coordinate reviews and approvals, and deliver polished submissions through email and electronic procurement platforms
• Build smarter ways of working by maintaining reusable content, templates, best practices, proposal records and submission metrics, including win/loss data
• Stay curious about proposal trends, AI tools and new approaches that make our content sharper, our process faster and our submissions stronger

• Strong project management instincts, excellent attention to detail and the ability to calmly juggle multiple high-stakes deadlines
• Confident communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to bring busy stakeholders together and keep work moving
• Experience working with sales teams and responding to RFPs and RFIs; public and private procurement platforms are an asset
• The ability to synthesize technical, operational and commercial information into a cohesive client story
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel, plus strong document formatting and layout skills
• Hands-on experience using AI tools for content development, refinement and market research
• Familiarity with CRM systems and proposal management platforms such as Loopio, Qvidian, Responsive/RFPIO or Inventive is an asset
• A curious, solutions-first mindset. You spot gaps, adapt quickly, improve the process and take pride in producing work that is built to win
• Prior experience in print, business communications, marketing services or a related industry is an asset
