  • Write assigned proposal sections based on interviews, solutioning sessions, and industry best practices, that incorporate reviewer feedback and are tailored to the customer’s hot buttons and defined win themes/strengths
  • Partner with Capture and Solution teams to ensure proposals clearly articulate people, process, and tools
  • Shape win themes, discriminators, and proof points for management and technical volumes that align to customer mission priorities and evaluation criteria
  • Identify and mitigate proposal risk early, advising leadership on solution gaps, compliance exposure, and staffing impacts
  • Mentor more junior proposal staff to strengthen strategic thinking, judgment, and proposal leadership skills.
