Senior Manager of Proposal Writing (US State & Local Health and Human Services)

About the Role

This position serves as an experienced information architect and proposal leader, designed to structure and craft compelling content for complex, customer-facing documents. You will act as a strategic partner to the project director, providing backup support while leading the development process for high-value and intricate projects. The role exists to ensure that every proposal not only meets strict compliance standards but also tells a persuasive story that highlights the company's strengths and capabilities.

In this capacity, you will interpret Request for Proposals (RFPs), Requests for Quotations (RFQs), and Invitations for Bids (IFBs) to formulate winning strategies.
