Proposal Manager

Description We are on the hunt for an assertive, proactive, and highly organized Proposal Manager who thrives in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment. If juggling multiple priorities while keeping a cool head (and maybe even cracking a smile under pressure) sounds like your kind of challenge, then we should talk. As a key player in our proposal development team, you will lead the end-to-end proposal process, ensuring compliance, strategy alignment, and a compelling final product. Your ability to wrangle SMEs, keep writers on task, and gently (but firmly) nudge leadership for approvals will be essential to success. Flexibility is a strength- we are a dispersed team and need someone who can communicate effectively with a variety of participants. This role requires a soft but firm presence, multi-modal communication, and multitasking— someone who can manage competing priorities without losing sight of the details. And let’s be real: We need someone who understands that “last-minute changes” happen. Key Responsibilities Lead proposal development from kickoff to submission, ensuring all deadlines are met and compliance is rock solid. Be able and willing to pick up the pen and support content creation and perform formatting and editing on any effort- RFI, RFP, etc. Develop and manage proposal schedules, assignments, and reviews with a keen sense of urgency- we are a small group with competing priorities so learning styles and preferences are paramount. Work closely with capture teams, subject matter experts (SMEs), and graphic designers to develop compelling, compliant proposals. Be the go-to person for "herding cats" (a.k.a. keeping teams on task and on schedule). Take ownership of content organization, proposal outlines, and compliance. Manage color team reviews, incorporating feedback without breaking a sweat. Ensure all proposal components (narratives, past performance, resumes) align seamlessly. Support process improvement initiatives to enhance proposal efficiency and effectiveness- we follow a mostly Shipley. Keep a positive, team-focused attitude—even when the pressure is on. Requirements What We’re Looking For Experience: 5-7 years in federal proposal management, preferably with a small company background Strong writing and editing background, and expert level MS Office skills. Highly assertive and proactive- you don’t wait to be told what to do; you see a need and take action. Excellent multitasker- because proposals don’t happen one at a time. Strong interpersonal skills- you know how to work with different personalities and keep everyone moving in the same direction. Attention to detail- because compliance isn’t a suggestion, it’s a requirement. Cool under pressure- constructive feedback, tight deadlines, and last-minute changes don’t rattle you. A sense of humor- because proposal life is unpredictable, and sometimes, you just have to laugh. PMP Certification is a plus A collaborative, supportive team that values hard work and good energy. Leadership that appreciates your expertise. A culture that encourages growth, learning, while embracing a hustle mindset. The opportunity to work on impactful and mission-critical proposals that make a difference.
