• Create and refine proposal graphics and reusable templates, including cover pages, callout boxes, organizational charts, process graphics, resumes, and past performance materials.
• Develop and improve PowerPoint presentations, capability statements, one-pagers, and other customer- and partner-facing materials.
• Maintain organized libraries of proposal content, graphics, templates, and company qualifications.
• Track deadlines, commitments, and open actions—and help ensure things get finished.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.
• 3+ years of relevant professional experience in proposals, business development, capture, marketing, communications, project coordination, or a related role.
• Strong writing, editing, organizational, and attention-to-detail skills.
• Ability to manage multiple assignments, contributors, and deadlines while maintaining quality and follow-through.
• Strong Microsoft Word and PowerPoint skills and proficiency with Excel.
• Good visual judgment and the ability to create clear, polished documents and presentations.
• Initiative and the ability to research, problem-solve, and make progress when given an unfamiliar assignment.
• Clear, professional communication skills and comfort working across different functions.
• Experience with government contracting, federal proposals, GovWin, SAM.gov, CRM/capture systems, Adobe Creative Suite, Canva, or similar tools is preferred.
