Proposal Manager

About Apollo

Apollo Information Systems is a cybersecurity services company delivering comprehensive security and compliance programs to organizations that need measurable protection without the burden of building it alone. Backed by a Series A investment led by Syn Ventures, Apollo is pioneering a cybersecurity-as-a-service model that replaces fragmented tools and episodic engagements with unified, outcome-driven security programs.

Through Apollo Aegis—a subscription-based cybersecurity and compliance platform—and a full portfolio of managed security, advisory, assessment, incident response, and offensive security services, Apollo helps organizations reduce risk, simplify operations, and maintain continuous compliance. Apollo's primary markets include state and local government, K-12 and higher education, and mid-market enterprises, with deep specialization in election security.

We foster a collaborative environment where deep cybersecurity expertise meets business acumen, enabling our professionals to solve complex security challenges while building lasting client partnerships.

About the Role

Apollo Information Systems is seeking a Proposal Manager to own end-to-end proposal operations. This role combines strategic thinking, exceptional writing and editing ability, and AI fluency to rapidly produce high-quality proposals, marketing materials, and business development content that define our cybersecurity services and win new business.

The ideal candidate is comfortable creating outcome-focused processes, building relationships, and owning RFP processes. The Proposal Manager will operate as a service-oriented partner across functions, focusing on unblocking teammates rather than enforcing handoff protocols. You will partner with Technical Teams, Sales, and Company Leadership to develop go/no-go criteria, ensuring all questions are answered and compliance requirements are met.

What to Expect

Your first 30 days will focus on learning our business, understanding our operations, and mastering the tools we use while starting the RFP writing process with team guidance. Within 60 days, you will leverage AI to create multiple RFPs weekly, update our content library to reduce creation time, and deepen your understanding of the VAR and Services space alongside Apollo's competitive advantages. By day 90, you will own the RFP process with minimal oversight, consistently creating daily RFPs, maintaining our marketing library, and maturing our proposal process through improved operational efficiency.

Our Values

Our values drive our behaviors and define our culture:

• Passion for Cybersecurity: A commitment to maintaining the highest standards of security.
• Customer Outcomes: Their success is our success; we are business partners.
• Entrepreneurial Approach: Fast decision-making, empowerment, focus on results, and a test-and-learn mindset.
