What you'll do Find and respond to federal opportunities, focusing on small business and 8(a) set-asides Write, assemble, and submit proposals at high volume, often turning one around in a day or two Manage contracts after award: point of contact for agencies, modifications, compliance, and reporting Spend about a quarter of your time on teaming and partnership outreach to other small businesses Work with our recruiting team to staff new awards Use AI tools to work faster. We expect speed and don't want proposals built by hand from scratch.
