This role is essential to helping the organization secure public funding for broadband infrastructure expansion and access initiatives.
The ideal candidate brings strong project ownership, cross-functional coordination skills, and experience navigating public sector processes. You’ll work with internal stakeholders and external partners to translate business needs into compelling and compliant grant applications.
Key Responsibilities
- Analyze eligibility criteria, application requirements, and funding structures of broadband-focused state and federal grants.
- Own end-to-end development of proposals, including writing responses, coordinating internal input, and ensuring timely submission.
- Collaborate with program managers, legal, and finance to ensure accuracy, alignment, and approval of application materials.
- Monitor changes to grant guidelines, deadlines, and scoring criteria.
- Maintain templates, trackers, and supporting documentation across multiple concurrent submissions.
- Review previously submitted proposals and implement process improvements.
- Participate in internal process review meetings and contribute to post-submission debriefs and audits.
Top Required Skills
- Government Grant Proposal Development – Experience owning and completing grant or business proposals for public funding opportunities.
- Project Management & Documentation – Ability to manage deadlines, draft clear documents, and coordinate feedback loops under time-sensitive conditions.
- Written Communication & Stakeholder Collaboration – Strong command of business writing and the ability to work across multiple internal teams.
Skills & Experience Required
- 3–6 years of relevant experience in corporate strategy, business administration, or public funding initiatives.
- Background in grant writing, public-sector project work, or nonprofit/government contract development preferred.
- Strong skills with Microsoft Word, Excel, and collaboration tools.
- Ability to synthesize complex requirements and write compelling, accurate, and persuasive responses.
- Familiarity with state or federal broadband programs is a plus but not required.
- U.S. citizenship or permanent residency is required due to export control regulations.
Preferred Qualifications
- Prior experience working in telecom, broadband, infrastructure, or government-funded programs.
- Exposure to public policy, economic development, or broadband equity initiatives.
Why This Role?
This role offers a front-row seat to shaping how broadband access expands nationwide. You’ll be part of a team working to bridge digital equity gaps through targeted public investments.
