• Ensure proposal compliance with solicitation requirements, formatting guidelines, page limitations, and submission instructions.
• Manage proposal libraries, reusable content repositories, resumes, past performance databases, and proposal templates.
• Support proposal graphics development and collaborate with desktop publishing personnel to improve visual presentation.
• Track proposal milestones, risks, action items, and deliverables throughout the proposal process.
• Coordinate final production, quality assurance, and electronic submissions through government portals and customer‑required systems.
• Support continuous process improvement initiatives to increase proposal efficiency and win probability.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Communications, English, Marketing, Technical Writing, or a related field.
• 5+ years of proposal management experience supporting federal government, defense, intelligence, technology, engineering, or professional services contracts.
• Demonstrated experience managing multiple concurrent proposals with varying deadlines and priorities.
• Strong knowledge of federal acquisition regulations (FAR), government contracting, and proposal best practices.
• Exceptional writing, editing, proofreading, and verbal communication skills.
• Experience developing compliance matrices, proposal schedules, and review processes.
