Sr. Proposal Manager

The Senior Proposal Manager leads high stakes federal proposals across the full business development lifecycle—from shaping and capture through submission and post award transition. This senior role is ideal for a proven proposal leader who can also oversee proposal operations at an enterprise level: processes, templates, schedules, color team rigor, tools, and cross organizational coordination.

The position supports a diverse portfolio with an emphasis on DoD, plus IC and Civilian agencies. The role is fully remote, with virtual collaboration as the standard operating mode.

This fully remote role is ideal for a seasoned proposal leader who can run complex, strategic bids while leveraging AI tools and prompt engineering to enhance content quality, speed, and compliance.

• Coordinate pricing activities (BOE inputs, assumptions, schedule management; no pricing execution required).
• Support orals preparation, coaching, and visual development.
• Lead final production, compliant submission, and EN/DR response cycles.
