Proposal and Capture Strategist

Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it.

OUR MISSION

YOUR MISSION

You will provide essential people, project, and proposal management skills, expertly navigating the dynamic environment of a hyper‑growth company and managing competing priorities with overlapping schedules. You will craft compelling materials to inform our customers’ market research and acquisition strategies, write technical narratives on cutting‑edge capabilities, build and implement pricing strategies, and collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to close deals. On any given day, you will manage several concurrent RFx processes for new customer contracts, triage new incoming business opportunities, or help to build sales enablement materials for demos to potential customers.
