Job description

As a global leader in cybersecurity, CrowdStrike protects the people, processes and technologies that drive modern organizations. Since 2011, our mission hasn’t changed — we’re here to stop breaches, and we’ve redefined modern security with the world’s most advanced AI-native platform. We work on large scale distributed systems, processing almost 3 trillion events per day and this traffic is growing daily. Our customers span all industries, and they count on CrowdStrike to keep their businesses running, their communities safe and their lives moving forward. We're proud to work for a mission-driven company leveraging AI to transform the way we work. CrowdStrikers drive their careers through flexibility and autonomy while also being expected to contribute to a culture of responsible AI adoption, experimentation, and innovation. We use an AI-first mindset as a force multiplier to proactively and continuously accelerate execution, build expertise, uncover insights, and solve complex problems. We’re always looking to add talented CrowdStrikers to the team who have limitless passion, a relentless focus on innovation and a fanatical commitment to our customers, our community and each other. Ready to join a mission that matters? The future of cybersecurity starts with you.

About the Role:

CrowdStrike is seeking an experienced Proposal Manager/Writer to join our Global Proposals Team as a key contributor supporting the development of proposals, questionnaires, and business development materials. The ideal candidate blends strong business writing with disciplined project management, has working knowledge of (or a strong appetite to learn) cloud security, and can quickly grasp the complexity of our market, our platform, and our customers' needs.

This role operates in a high-volume, high-velocity request environment. Our team receives a steady and often unpredictable stream of concurrent RFIs, RFPs, RFQs, security questionnaires, and ad hoc content requests from Sales and partner teams across all regions. Success in this role requires the ability to triage and prioritize competing inbound requests, set realistic expectations with stakeholders, elevate capacity constraints early, and consistently deliver quality work at pace without sacrificing accuracy or compliance.

This is a remote position that can be based anywhere on the East Coast of the US.

What You'll Do:

• Manage end-to-end RFI, RFQ, RFP, DDQ, and security questionnaire activity — from intake and qualification through final submission — to ensure on-time, compliant delivery
• Own a high-volume workload of concurrent proposal assignments and related tasks, applying sound triage and prioritization judgment in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
• Drive the proposal process end to end: build and enforce the schedule, hold contributors to milestones, and coordinate stakeholder and compliance reviews to provide final quality assurance against department, corporate, and legal requirements
• Review and analyze customer requirements; develop compliance matrices, response outlines, and schedules of events
• Participate in kickoff calls and win strategy discussions to clarify scope, understand the opportunity, and translate key messages and differentiators into clear win themes
• Coordinate contributions from cross-functional SMEs (Sales, Sales Engineering, Product, Strategy, Legal, Information Security, and others) to produce high-quality, compliant, and persuasive responses that position CrowdStrike to win
• Build customer-facing response templates and manage workflow through draft, review, and approval stages
• Prepare final deliverables for submission: format, proofread, and edit for accuracy, clarity, consistency, and readability
• Enable Sales and cross-functional teams on proposal best practices, intake processes, and policies
• Maintain and continuously improve the proposal content library, ensuring content is current, accurate, consistent, and reusable — reducing turnaround time on repeat and high-frequency requests
• Contribute to process improvement, automation, and content reuse initiatives that increase team throughput and scalability
• Assist in other departmental projects as needed

What You'll Need:

• 3+ years managing complex proposals, ideally in a fast-paced SaaS or cybersecurity environment
• Demonstrated ability to manage a high volume of simultaneous requests with overlapping or competing deadlines, and to make sound prioritization decisions with limited direction
• Proven critical thinking, sound judgment, and effective decision-making under pressure
• Superior project and time management skills, with the ability to coordinate SMEs at all levels — including senior leadership — to deliver complex responses on time
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate technical content into clear, customer-focused narrative
• Proficiency in MS Office and Google Workspace, Salesforce, and proposal management platforms (e.g., Responsive/RFPIO, Loopio)
• Meticulous attention to detail and accuracy, with expert formatting, editing, and proofreading skills
• Ability to comprehend and cohesively orchestrate complex business, technical, and legal requirements
• Strong interpersonal skills, with a demonstrated ability to build rapport and collaborate across a broad population of internal and external stakeholders
• Team player who works effectively both collaboratively and independently
• Willingness and flexibility to work across time zones and geographies as needed to meet customer deadlines
• Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.

Bonus Points:

• BA/BS or equivalent educational background is preferred.
• Minimum 5+ years of relevant professional experience.

Benefits of Working at CrowdStrike:

• Market leader in compensation and equity awards
• Comprehensive physical and mental wellness programs
• Competitive vacation and holidays for recharge
• Paid parental and adoption leaves
• Professional development opportunities for all employees regardless of level or role
• Employee Networks, geographic neighborhood groups, and volunteer opportunities to build connections
• Vibrant office culture with world class amenities
• Great Place to Work Certified
