This role is instrumental in ensuring timely, accurate, and compliant responses to customer Requests for Proposal (RFP), Request for Quotation (RFQ), and Requests for Information (RFI), particularly in the aerospace and government contracting sectors. The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of government procurement requirements and clauses, a high degree of organizational skill, and a proven ability to collaborate cross-functionally in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment. This role also includes responsibilities related to cost estimation, contract review, vendor quote management, post-award follow-through, and customer communication to ensure smooth contract execution from end to end.

Key Responsibilities:

· Obtain and evaluate vendor quotes for material costs and delivery timelines; follow up as needed to support accurate pricing.

· Organize and maintain proposal and quote documentation, including internal cost breakdowns, customer specifications, and vendor quotes.

· Coordinate and support the contract review process to ensure final contracts accurately reflect proposal terms.

· Monitor and follow up on vendor performance for critical items; negotiate cost reductions where possible.

· Support internal teams in expediting vendor deliveries and ensuring timely contract execution.

· Communicate proactively with customers regarding contract updates, risks, or changes to ensure satisfaction and timely deliverables.

· Assist with customer invoicing, source inspections, and documentation uploads into government portals such as WAWF when applicable.

· Provide administrative support for post-contract activities, including document tracking, audit prep, and process improvement initiatives.

· Contribute to proposal process improvements and maintain tools such as templates and content libraries.

Required Qualifications:

· 3–5 years of experience in proposal development or contract administration, preferably within the aerospace or defense industry.

· Solid understanding of government procurement processes and FAR/DFARS compliance. 

· Bachelor’s degree in Business, English, Communications, or a related field; Master’s degree a plus.

· Exceptional communication skills, both written and verbal.

· High proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), Adobe Acrobat, and experience with ERP systems.

· Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and the ability to manage multiple projects under tight deadlines.

· Proven analytical and critical thinking skills; able to evaluate alternative approaches and recommend solutions.

· Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret Clearance if required.

· Comfortable reporting directly to senior leadership and navigating confidential or sensitive proposal activity.
