Job summary

Advanced Space in Westminster, Colorado is seeking a Capture Manager to own opportunities from intake to transition, aligning technical teams and leadership to win pursuits.

You will lead qualification, build win themes, coordinate with engineers, finance, marketing, and proposal operations, and ensure timely, compliant proposals. This mid-level role requires strong writing and relationship skills and a passion for space exploration.

Qualifications

• You have 4+ years of experience in business development, capture management, proposal management, technical writing, program management, or a related role supporting engineering, aerospace, defense, civil, or national security customers.
• You have a bachelor's degree in engineering, business, or a related field; equivalent relevant experience may be considered.
• You have led or substantially supported proposals, RFP/RFI responses, white papers, or other customer-facing technical and business submissions.
• You have experience working with technical subject matter experts to develop customer-ready content.
• You have excellent written, verbal, and presentation skills, and you can explain complex technical concepts concisely and persuasively.
• You're organized and detail-oriented, and you can lead deadline-driven work with many contributors and competing priorities.
• You build strong working relationships with engineers, executives, customers, and partners.
• You can assess incomplete information, spot risks and gaps, and recommend practical next steps.
• You're proficient with Microsoft Office and experienced with CRM or opportunity-management tools.
• You take ownership. When you see a challenge, you work with the team to solve it.
• You're able to work in the Westminster, Colorado office five days a week.

Responsibilities

• Lead and qualify opportunities. Own assigned pursuits from intake to transition across all sources, including follow-on work with existing customers, net-new opportunities, inbound inquiries, and competitive solicitations (RFPs, RFIs, SBIR/STTRs, and task orders). Conduct structured qualification, build the win themes, create teaming arrangements, lead color-team reviews (Pink, Red, & Gold), support price-to-win strategies, make clear go/no-go recommendations, and keep CRM records and forecasts accurate. Work with engineers to turn complex technical concepts into clear, persuasive content.
• Understand the customer and shape capture strategy. Build and maintain stakeholder maps, assess relationship strength and access gaps, and coordinate with technical leaders to close them. Turn the voice of the customer into capture strategy, win themes, competitive differentiation, and engagement plans.
• Coordinate solution development. Work with engineering, R&D, finance, and leadership to develop solutions that are technically credible, executable, and aligned with what the customer actually needs, not just what the solicitation says. Support pricing, staffing, teaming, and business terms, and identify risks early.
• Support negotiation and transition. Support post-submission positioning and contract negotiations with leadership, finance, and legal. Lead the customer relationship. Deliver transition briefings to engineering for won work so teams start with full customer context.
• Improve how we win. Conduct win/loss analyses and capture lessons learned. Help improve our capture processes, CRM practices, pipeline metrics, and reusable proposal content.
