• Advise Dexis leadership on client engagement strategies specific to security assistance.
• Refine technical proposal content, ensuring accuracy, clarity, and alignment with government priorities and terminology.
• Translate complex technical concepts into compelling narratives for evaluation by technical and non‑technical reviewers.
• Provide strategic insight into evolving trends and participate in periodic strategy sessions as a trusted advisor throughout the pre‑solicitation, capture, and bid phases.

Qualifications

• Minimum 5 years of experience working with or supporting DOS, with deep familiarity with the PM Bureau and the Office of Security Assistance (SA).
