• Track and report AI-driven efficiency metrics (cycle time, cost per proposal, compliance error rate) to inform investment decisions and demonstrate ROI to leadership.

Team Mentorship and Knowledge Development

• Directly supervise and develop the proposal team - coordinators, writers, and graphic support staff - providing mentorship, coaching, and day-to-day guidance, and owning hiring, performance management, and team growth.
• Train team members on effective AI tool use, Shipley best practices, and proposal writing craft to raise the overall quality and throughput of the proposal function.
• Build and maintain a library of reusable content, including past performance narratives, resume templates, standard graphics, and boilerplate sections, making the full team more efficient.

Capture and Pipeline Support

• Partner with capture managers and the COO on win strategy development, competitive positioning, and pricing strategy alignment for priority opportunities.
• Contribute meaningfully to bid/no-bid decisions by assessing solicitation risk, incumbent landscape, and organizational fit.
• Support gate reviews and pipeline reporting with proposal-related data, lessons learned, and process improvement recommendations.

• Exceptional proposal writing and editing skills, with the ability to translate complex technical content into evaluator-focused narratives that score.
• Strong project management discipline: proven ability to manage multiple concurrent proposals under hard deadlines without sacrificing quality.
• Collaborative and proactive communication style; skilled at coordinating contributors across technical, contracts, pricing, and executive functions.
• Analytical mindset with comfort in RFP decomposition, compliance matrix management, and color review adjudication.
