By combining your stellar writing, communication, and project management skills with your ability to work collaboratively with multiple stakeholders, you will complete winning proposals with our technical team.

The Proposal Specialist uses their expertise to manage the pursuit process from start to finish, including leading start-up meetings, developing winning pursuit strategies with the technical team, and editing and designing a superb final product for submission.

You will also work with the marketing team to ensure all company marketing materials are kept relevant and current, including writing and editing CVs, creating project profiles, and preparing presentations.

You thrive on delivering compelling stories highlighting the experience and abilities of the company and our employees
You love having space to innovate and experiment in your work
You like collaborating on pursuit strategies that will spur and strengthen brand presence in current and emerging markets
You enjoy mentoring junior staff by providing guidance and equipping them with the skills they need to succeed

What You Will Do:

You'll be fully immersed in all aspects of the proposal process including reviewing request for proposal (RFPs) documents, leading strategy meetings, and working closely with internal experts to prepare, write and edit proposal responses including methodology, approach and schedules.
Prepare persuasive proposals that will pique the reader's interest through strong, tailored content complemented by excellent design.
Review final proposal documents for compliance and submit them on deadline.
Provide quality assurance checks for proposals and marketing materials created by team members.

Work with the communications team to support content creation for web, social media, and the Intranet when needed.

What You Bring to the Table:

4+ years of proposal management experience in any industry (experience within the construction, architectural and engineering industries would be great, but it isn't necessary)
Postsecondary education in rhetoric, English, communications, journalism, business or any other related field
Strong writing and editing skills
