You are an organized, detail-oriented proposal professional with 3–5 years of experience coordinating RFP, RFI, RFQ, or other complex bid responses. You are a strong writer and editor who can interpret solicitation requirements, develop response plans, coordinate cross-functional contributors, manage competing deadlines and version control, and transform diverse inputs into polished, compliant, and professional proposal packages while working effectively as an independent contributor in a fast-paced VAR, technology services, professional services, or consulting environment.
The Proposal Manager is an individual contributor responsible for coordinating assigned RFP, RFI, RFQ, and other bid responses within a Value-Added Reseller (VAR) environment. Assigned opportunities will be managed under the direction of the Lead Proposal/Contracts Manager.
The Proposal Manager will ingest solicitation materials, organize requirements, assemble the appropriate internal response team, identify required content, and determine which materials may be adapted from prior responses or approved content libraries. This role will assign content requests to appropriate subject matter experts, monitor deadlines, follow up on outstanding inputs, and assemble contributions into a polished, compliant, and professional deliverable.
The role requires strong project coordination, writing, editing, organization, and follow-through. Success requires the ability to manage multiple deadlines, coordinate contributors across functions, and maintain a high level of accuracy and quality without direct reports or direct client interaction.
Must be based in the United States.
