• Define and manage stakeholder roles and responsibilities across a multi-departmental response team (which includes solution architects, SMEs, and Amida leadership) to transform our competencies and past performance into compliant proposal content
• Facilitate solutioning activities (e.g., technical storyboards, roster development, reference packages, and subcontractor documentation) throughout the proposal lifecycle
• Lead internal red, gold, and prototype reviews to ensure effective progression in accordance with proposal response timelines and compliance requirements
• Support pricing tasks (e.g., price-to-win analyses) and "green team" review activities
• Support post-submission activities, including clarification requests, BAFO, orals preparation, and development of lessons learned documentation
• Store, metadata tag, and maintain proposal content and reference materials within Amida's knowledge base for reuse and consistency
• Other duties as assigned

• Experience developing, validating, and delivering compliant documents based on federal and state procurement requirements
• Experience in (and comfort with) business partner communications and management of external response stakeholders
• Proven experience in the application of AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude) to expedite content creation and baseline response population through repository-developed reference material
• Experience in the use of AI to evaluate compliance, scoring, and overall responsiveness throughout the RFX lifecycle using effective prompt development

Required Skills:

• Proven ability to proactively lead multiple highly differentiated proposal responses with overlapping deadlines
• Ability and understanding to derive and develop original technical and non-technical content in collaboration with solution architects and SMEs
