  • Writing, editing, and formatting  compliance-related , organized proposal materials (work plans, staffing, budgets, and project approaches) tailored to each solicitation. 
  • Liaising with internal business units, SMEs, and leadership to gather critical information and incorporate feedback across revision rounds. 
  • Managing and updating the in-house proposal content library to revise, repurpose, and optimize content for future pursuits. 
  • Creating, scheduling, and managing social media content across professional platforms to highlight Vander Weele Group’s impact, team achievements, and industry insights. 
  • Ensuring all written proposal and social media content complies with Vander Weele Group’s branding guidelines and Style Guide. 
  • Analyzing competitor proposals and post-mortem feedback to continually strengthen our market positioning and sales strategies.

  • You can synthesize complex, technical project details and processes into clear, compelling narrative text. 
  • You possess advanced proficiency in MS Office 365, particularly complex Microsoft Word document formatting. 
  • You bring exceptional planning, organizational, and project management skills with the ability to manage multiple deadline-driven proposals simultaneously.
