Proposal Analyst

What does a Proposal Analyst do?

The Proposal Analyst will contribute to the company’s growth and profitability through the development of strategic RFx and/or bid solicitation responses, and other marketing and business development initiatives as needed. Operating as a team player, the Proposal Analyst will report to the Proposal Director, serve as a team lead and member of the Proposal Team, and work collaboratively with both the field organization and Business Development Team in a fast- paced, deadline-driven environment.

The Proposal Analyst will be among the first points of contact for the field organization when the Proposal Team receives and vets a request for a response to a strategic RFx or other bid solicitations. This requires strong organizational and time management skills, superior writing/editing skills, research and analysis, and the ability to juggle multiple ever-changing priorities on a day-to-day basis.
