Magna Legal Services is a trusted nationwide partner to law firms, corporations, insurance carriers, and government agencies, delivering comprehensive legal support at every stage of a case. From court reporting and record retrieval to jury consulting, investigations, litigation graphics, and language services, we help our clients navigate complex legal challenges with confidence. Our reputation is built on the expertise, dedication, and professionalism of our team, and we’re proud to foster a culture where talented people can do meaningful work and grow their careers.
Magna Legal Services is seeking an experienced proposal professional to independently manage our end-to-end RFP response process, from initial intake and planning through final submission. You will support opportunities across Magna’s full range of service lines and client types, including law firms, corporate legal departments, insurance carriers, and government agencies.
RFP volume naturally fluctuates. During active periods, you may manage several concurrent proposals spanning different service lines and buyer types. Outside of active submissions, you will own the infrastructure that makes future responses faster and stronger, including our content and credential libraries, case studies, templates, competitive insights, and proposal processes.
This is an established, full-time area of ownership rather than an entry-level or rotational assignment. You will report directly to the Director of Sales Operations and work with significant autonomy while coordinating closely with Sales, Operations, Marketing, Finance, Legal, IT, HR, and subject-matter experts across the business.

Draft and edit tailored, persuasive responses across Magna’s service lines, including court reporting and deposition services, jury consulting and research, trial graphics and presentation services, medical record retrieval and review, and language and interpreting services.
Adapt each response to the buyer’s priorities, recognizing that law firms, corporate legal departments, insurance carriers, and government agencies have different evaluation criteria, compliance requirements, and procurement processes.
Interview subject-matter experts and business leaders to translate complex operational and technical information into clear, differentiated proposal content.
Coordinate input and approvals related to pricing, staffing, legal terms, data security, compliance, technology, and implementation.
Independently manage standard proposal content, including company overviews, service descriptions, staff biographies and credentials, case studies, implementation approaches, and past-performance examples.

Ensure every response complies with stated requirements, including page limits, required forms, attachments, certifications, and portal-submission instructions.

Build and maintain reusable templates by client type, service line, and solicitation type.

Document a repeatable intake-to-submission playbook that supports consistency and backup coverage.

Performance and Market Insights
Lead internal debriefs following key wins and losses and capture available feedback.

Capture relevant competitor and market insights from public sources, bid feedback, and internal debriefs.
Maintain knowledge of the evaluation priorities and procurement practices associated with each major client segment.
Monitor relevant government and insurance bid portals for potential opportunities.
Maintain a 60–90-day calendar of known and anticipated RFP activity and identify opportunities that require early subject-matter input, pricing support, or new case studies.
Adjacent Commercial Content
Repurpose approved proposal content into capability statements, one-pagers, case studies, and other Sales or business-development materials.
Partner with Marketing and Commercial Operations to ensure consistent messaging across proposals and client-facing content.
