• Review proposal drafts and final versions for responsiveness, compliance, accuracy, quality, consistent writing style, and effective layout and design.
• Identify and escalate issues that may impact the proposal schedule or quality.
• Support post-submission clarifications and client requests.
• Coordinate post-proposal evaluations and internal debriefs to capture insights that support ongoing improvements to the proposal development process.
• Train, coach, and mentor other proposal team members to support continual improvement in proposal development practices and team performance.
• Ensure continuity of CAT support through effective handovers to Client Engagement Director peers and other global CAT members.
• "Act like an owner" in your role - measure results and identify areas for improvement.
• Provide basic guidance on other CAT-supported areas - CRM, pursuit governance, etc.
• Be a constant CAT presence in the areas of the business you support.
