Job Description: Capture Manager
Reports to: Director of Business Development | Remote | Exempt | Travel: 25-35%
Position Summary
GMHILL is seeking a driven, win-focused Capture Manager to own the full capture lifecycle for our highest-priority federal pursuits. This is a pursuit-leadership role: you will translate market intelligence into actionable capture plans, shape solicitations before RFP release, build winning teams, and craft the "Best Value" win strategies that convert qualified opportunities into awards.
You will lead capture on A-E, Design-Build, Design-Bid-Build, and Sustainment, Restoration & Modernization (SRM) pursuits - operating at the front of the pipeline where positioning, intelligence, and relationships decide who wins. The ideal candidate is equal parts strategist and closer: someone who lives in the pre-RFP space, knows how to shape an acquisition, and can orchestrate capture teams, partners, and proposal resources toward a defensible PWin.
Key Responsibilities
The following is a general (not exhaustive) listing of responsibilities for the Capture Manager role.
Capture Strategy & Win Planning
• Own the end-to-end capture lifecycle from opportunity qualification through RFP release and proposal hand-off, driving each pursuit through formal gate reviews (e.g., Go/No-Go, bid/no-bid, color-team milestones).
• Develop and maintain capture plans, call plans, and win strategies - including competitive assessments, black-hat analysis, price-to-win positioning, and discriminator development.
• Shape solicitations in the pre-RFP window by engaging customers early, influencing requirements, and positioning GMHILL's differentiators ahead of competitors.
Customer & Market Intelligence
• Build and execute customer engagement plans that establish GMHILL as the trusted, best-value provider well before solicitation release.
• Analyze federal spending trends, agency priorities, and competitor activity to qualify pursuits and sharpen win themes.

Teaming & Joint Venture Strategy

• Actively market and engage GMHILL's Joint Venture partners, developing long-term strategies to serve the customers and communities each JV was created for.
• Facilitate teaming agreements and NDAs, promoting a trusted network approach across partners and third parties.
Pipeline & Proposal Integration
• Own BD/capture data integrity, ensuring opportunities, solicitations, capture intelligence, and Pwin are accurately maintained across the pipeline.
• Partner closely with proposal management to translate capture strategy into compliant, compelling proposals - feeding win themes, discriminators, and tailored past performance into the response.
• Leverage GMHILL's 20+ year track record and multidisciplinary portfolio to position past performance for specific wins.
Brand Advocacy & Industry Visibility
• Plan and execute GMHILL's presence at key industry conferences (SAME, SAME JETC, agency industry days), serving as the face of the firm to clients and partners.
• Articulate our record of safety, quality, and on-time/on-budget performance to differentiate GMHILL in a crowded federal market.
Education & Experience
