  • Coordinate proposal development timelines to ensure all submissions are completed on time, including drafting, internal reviews, and final production.


Compliance & Research

  • Ensure strict adherence to DGS’s solicitation guidelines, including DC government procurement laws and submission protocols.
  • Conduct research on project sites, regulations, and potential risks to create well-informed proposals.
  • Monitor updates to DGS procurement policies and stay current with any changes in guidelines or evaluation criteria.


Graphics & Layout

  • Design and incorporate graphics, including organizational charts, Gantt charts, schedules, and other visual aids to support the proposal narrative.
  • Ensure the proposals are visually appealing, clearly organized, and in line with Banneker Ventures' branding and professional standards.


Post-Submission & Follow-Up

  • Participate in debrief sessions with clients (especially DGS) to gather feedback and improve future proposals.
  • Maintain proposal documentation and tracking systems to monitor proposal outcomes, trends, and success rates.
