  • Work closely with Contracts, Finance, and Pricing teams to ensure alignment of proposal strategies with pricing models and compliance requirements.
  • Coordinate with marketing and sales teams to integrate branding and messaging into proposals, ensuring consistency across all client-facing materials.


Performance Metrics & Improvement:

  • Track and analyze key metrics such as win rate, proposal volume, and bid competitiveness, providing regular updates and insights to leadership.
  • Conduct post-submission debriefs and lessons learned sessions to continuously improve proposal processes and strategies.
  • Identify and implement process improvements and best practices to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposal development process.


Marketing Strategy & Execution:

  • Develop and implement a marketing strategy tailored to the government contracting space to increase brand visibility, engagement, and lead generation.
  • Oversee brand presence across digital platforms, including website updates, social media, and online content, to ensure consistency and alignment with company values and market positioning.
  • Leverage digital marketing, content creation (e.g., white papers, case studies), and thought leadership to position the company as a trusted partner for federal civilian and defense agencies.
  • Lead participation in industry events, webinars, and forums, coordinating with sales and capture teams to strengthen relationships with key government decision-makers.


Minimum Qualifications:

 

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Business, Communications, English, or a related field. A master’s degree is a plus.
