• Possess strong knowledge of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) procurement lifecycle, including military contracting vehicles and acquisition strategies to effectively pursue and support military task orders and RFP opportunities.


• Attend relevant industry trade shows, conferences, industry days, and client meetings to gather market intelligence, represent the company, and support business development efforts, as required.


• During proposal development, review and assess client requirements, generate requirements matrices, establish an approach, and assign actions to set our team up for success in all opportunities.


• Demonstrate expert ability in assimilating information from cross-functional teams to produce accurate, succinct, and winning proposal packages for submission to the client.

• Develop proposal outlines, schedules, content plans, and manage proposal teams and workflows to ensure adherence to deadlines and compliance requirements.


• Schedule and chair internal meetings, establishing necessary cadence required to support deadlines.
