Description:

Job Opportunity: Our team is seeking a talented Senior Proposal Manager. This is a remote position, with preference to for candidates to be in the DC Metro area

We are on the hunt for an assertive, proactive, and highly organized Senior 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.

This role requires a strong leader, communicator, and multitasker-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" are just part of the game.

What You'll Get to Do as a Senior Proposal Manager:
  • Lead proposal development from kickoff to submission, ensuring all deadlines are met and compliance is rock solid.
  • Develop and manage proposal schedules, assignments, and reviews with a keen sense of urgency.
  • 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 matrices.
  • Ask the tough questions-even when it's uncomfortable-to drive clarity and strategy.
  • 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.
  • Keep a positive, team-focused attitude-even when the pressure is on.

You'll Bring These Qualifications:
  • Experience: 5-7 years in federal proposal management, preferably in a GovCon environment.
  • APMP Certification is a plus (extra points if you can recite Shipley strategies in your sleep).
  • 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-tight deadlines and last-minute changes don't scare you.
  • A sense of humor-because proposal life is unpredictable, and sometimes, you just have to laugh.

Why You'll Love Working Here
A collaborative, supportive team that values hard work and good energy.
Leadership that appreciates your expertise (and doesn't micromanage).
A culture that encourages growth, learning, and the occasional celebratory happy hour after a big win.
The opportunity to work on impactful, high-stakes proposals that make a difference.

If you're ready to bring your A-game, drive winning proposals, and still manage to smile through the chaos, we'd love to hear from you!
