• Build alignment, maintain strong processes, and help the group deliver high-quality, well-vetted proposals under tight timelines.

This is a remote position with a requirement for candidates to reside in the United States to maintain effective collaboration across teams. This position requires occasional travel to support business operations, which is considered an essential function of the role.

• Public or private sector procurement experience is a plus.

Requirements

• Lead end-to-end proposal management across RFPs, RFIs, and permits throughout the Amer-APAC region.
• Analyze procurement documents to identify key priorities, evaluation criteria, eligibility requirements, and competitive considerations.
• Write clear, compelling, and strategically tailored content for RFPs, RFIs, permits, and other city-facing submissions.
• Build and improve internal proposal infrastructure, including best practices, templates, toolkits, and content libraries.
• Support strategic market development efforts through occasional travel to key markets.
