• Prioritize and coordinate content updates based on business priorities and direction from proposal leadership.
• Identify gaps and drive improvements in content structure, usability, and consistency.
• Lead onboarding and development of co-op students, ensuring effective integration into team workflows.
• Establish structured training, onboarding, and progression paths for early-career roles.
• Maintain and improve tools, trackers, and workflows to enhance efficiency and consistency.
• Identify recurring issues and drive continuous improvement across intake, admin, and content functions.

• Collaborate with Proposal Managers, Estimating, Business Development, and Operations to support intake, reporting, and content enablement.
• Act as a central coordination point to ensure consistent processes and clear information flow across the proposal lifecycle.
• Escalate priority conflicts, risks, or strategic alignment gaps to proposal leadership for direction and resolution.

What You Bring to The Team:

• 4-6+ years of experience in proposal operations, bid sourcing, proposal administration, content coordination, or a related function within a structured RFx environment.
• Demonstrated experience leading or mentoring teams, with the ability to drive accountability, consistency, and performance across multiple support functions.
• Strong understanding of proposal lifecycle processes, including bid sourcing, intake, tracking, content management, and administrative governance.
• Proven ability to manage high-volume workflows, prioritize effectively, and maintain accuracy across multiple concurrent activities and deadlines.
