📋 Description

• The Proposal Manager (PM) collaborates with the Director of Consulting Services to plan, staff, and execute all types of government proposals (RFI/RFP responses, Multi-award vehicle responses, Market surveys, etc.) on behalf of WinBiz Clients. • Depending on the complexity of the proposal, the PM may be managing a mixed team of WinBiz and Client writers, designers, SMEs, and stakeholders through all phases of an RFP response, or they may be the only WinBiz resource on the scene. • The PM is more than an administrator, however, and must also be able to “roll their sleeves up” and format a resume, edit a draft, or interview a SME when the need arises. • The PM must be skilled in proposal strategy and industry best practices (e.g. Shipley and APMP) and must have a consultative approach to teaching clients best practices as they execute. • The PM must be able to manage a varied workload, oversee a virtual team, and communicate effectively across all modern media, including text and web conferencing. • A successful PM must be adept at adjusting to the various communication styles and processes of clients, and they must be comfortable working with small and mid-size enterprises. • We are seeking consultants who are cool under pressure and can diffuse the stressful atmosphere of responding to proposals under strict deadlines. • The PM must convey confidence and professionalism at all times, both as a representative of WinBiz, and also as a reflection of the Client to their teammates.

🎯 Requirements

• Native fluency in American business English and expert-level writing skills • 7-10+ years of experience in Proposal Management • Shipley certification or APMP Foundation credential • Strong execution of industry best practices (e.g. Shipley and APMP) such as kickoffs, color reviews, compliance, win themes, schedule, resumes, past performances, etc. • Superior writing skills and strong understanding of proposal writing standards (acronyms, format, compliance, etc.) • Understanding and experience in Federal Acquisition methodologies, contract vehicles, task orders, etc. • Expert-level familiarity with Microsoft Word, including styles sheets, tables, cross-references, and page layout • Strong familiarity with Microsoft SharePoint and OneDrive, especially with respect to version control • Self-starter who can manage multiple projects with absolutely inflexible deadlines • Ability to interact successfully with people at all levels, including senior executives • Ability to organize and prioritize tasks, as well as monitor concurrent tasks effectively • Ability to manage a disparate team that may include multiple companies • Excellent attention to detail and a commitment to closing all gaps • Able to work effectively in a remote enterprise and participate in or lead virtual meetings with clients during business hours in US time zones • Access to a strong Internet connection and a personal computer that can run the latest version of Microsoft Office
