Proposal Manager

Description

If you can turn a dense solicitation into a clear plan, a persuasive response, and an on-time submission, this role is built for you. GHP is hiring a dedicated Proposal Manager whose job is to help us win more business. You will own how GHP finds, evaluates, and responds to RFPs and RFQs across Architecture, Environmental, and Construction Services.

About GHP

GHP unites architectural, environmental, and construction services to deliver solutions for the built environment that protect, inspire, and enhance how people work and live. We look for people who are Passionate, Solutions Driven, Responsive, Accountable, and Partners.

About the Role

This is a full-time proposal role, not split with billable work, so proposals get your full attention. You will report to our CEO and work with a proposal content library and approved AI tools built to help you move quickly. Your judgment, organization, and writing turn that head start into responses that stand out.

Requirements

What You’ll Do

· Monitor solicitation sources and run opportunities through our go/no-go process so that we pursue the right work

· Own each response from kickoff to submission, including deadlines, meetings, contributors, and the final, polished document

· Draft and refine persuasive content using our proposal library and approved AI tools, and review every word before it goes out

· Partner with staff and consultants across the firm to gather what each proposal needs, on time

· Keep proposal materials current, including project one-sheeters, firm profiles, resumes, org charts, certifications, licenses, and registrations

· Support more complex proposals and build presentations from templates

What You Bring

· Five or more years in proposal development, business development, marketing, project coordination, or a similar role

· Strong general business knowledge and the curiosity to learn our services, markets, and clients quickly

· A writer’s instincts and a sales mindset, because you know a proposal is a pitch, not a report

· Exceptional organization and the self-discipline to manage your own time and deadlines in a remote setting

· Comfort using AI tools, a careful eye for quality, and the flexibility to adapt as the tools change

· RFP and RFQ experience is preferred; architecture, environmental, or construction experience is not required, though experience with a professional services or AEC firm is a plus

Why GHP

· A direct line to the CEO and a role with visibility across the firm

· A dedicated, full-time proposal focus with no billable-hours tug of war

· Remote work, with occasional travel to GHP offices

· A function that directly supports the firm’s growth, working with leaders and technical experts across three business units
