Your Role as a Business Development Representative

As a Business Development Representative at CANDA Solutions, you will play a critical role in advancing our Business Development initiatives across Federal Government, State/Local Government, and Commercial/Private sectors.

Proven proficiency in RFP and proposal writing techniques will enhance your ability to support our sales efforts effectively.
