Strategic Opportunity Identification
Proactively search platforms for new solicitations and provide strategic input on bid/no-bid decisions based on competitive intelligence and relationship assessment.

Cross-Functional Collaboration
Partner with Solution Engineers, Product Managers, Implementation specialists, and Sales teams to gather technical information and translate complex concepts into value-focused narratives tailored to different audiences (superintendents, IT directors, procurement officers).

System Ownership
Maintain accurate records of all proposal activities, analyze win/loss data, and manage RFP platforms. Develop and maintain a repeatable proposal management system that effectively handles increased volume without creating SME bottlenecks.

Internal Training
Educate internal teams on K-12 purchasing cycles and how districts evaluate technology solutions.

90 Days: Deliver a foundational content library of high-impact RFP responses developed in collaboration with Product, Engineering, and Implementation teams; demonstrate mastery of K-12 procurement regulations.

6 Months: Implement an automated proposal system; establish collaborative workflows with Sales, Product, and Implementation teams to ensure alignment and reduce SME burden.

SME Orchestration
Proven ability to manage busy technical experts, extract information efficiently, and synthesize inputs from multiple stakeholders into cohesive, compelling proposals without creating bottlenecks.
