About the Role

The Bid Manager is the engine behind the proposal process - driving execution, maintaining momentum, and ensuring every element stays aligned from kickoff through submission. This role owns the proposal timeline, manages resources and task flow, and steers cross-functional collaboration to meet deadlines with precision. Bid Managers partner closely with Proposal Writers, who shape the narrative and craft client focused messaging. Together, they combine structure and storytelling to produce proposals that are compliant, strategic, and compelling. Success in this role requires the ability to manage multiple proposals at once (often at different stages) while staying organized, curious, and adaptable. The Bid Manager must be comfortable learning a complex industry, asking questions to build knowledge, and working independently to fill gaps and move work forward. While the primary focus is on coordination and communication, the Bid Manager may occasionally lead a full proposal effort during peak workloads. This flexibility allows the team to scale effectively and ensures all proposals benefit from diverse strengths and shared ownership. This is a full-time, permanent position with flexible hours MondayFriday. While the role can be performed remotely, occasional travel may be required.
