Responsibilities

• Pipeline strategy You'll own the firm's opportunity pipeline strategy, prioritizing pursuits based on fit, win probability, and strategic value to the firm's vertical and geographic growth goals, and build the recommendation leadership uses to make the final go/no-go call. That means leading decision meetings with principals and BD leadership, bringing market intelligence and competitive analysis to the table, with a clear recommendation and the data behind it. Proposal leadership and content strategy You'll build win themes with principals and project managers, turning technical capability into a story a client actually wants to read. You'll oversee every proposal, SOQ, and RFP response for consistency and quality, build out a real content library (boilerplate, resumes, past performance) so we stop rebuilding from scratch every time, work with the bid project manager to manage subconsultant and teaming partner input, and lead interview prep; presentations and coaching included. Quality and process You're the last set of eyes before it goes to leadership. You'll set the QA/QC standard, enforce it, and keep improving our templates and process so the team gets faster and the win rate goes up. Cross-functional work You'll work closely with BD and principal staff to keep proposal strategy tied to actual business development goals, own win/loss tracking, run debriefs that produce real lessons, not just a rubber-stamp meeting, and report pipeline health and win rates to leadership.
