Proposal Development Manager - Ottawa, Canada - Outcome Consultants

Description

Can you see yourself here? Outcome Consultants provides environmental and construction support services to a variety of clients in the government, construction, and mining industries. Since we started in 2012, our company has expanded significantly each year in response to a growing demand from our clients and we seek an organized and motivated Proposal Development Manager to assist us in continuing on this growth trajectory. We are looking for an individual with exceptional communication skills, strong project management abilities, and a keen eye for detail. If you are a qualified professional (see
Required Qualifications below) and you are looking for a company that will mentor and generously reward you as you help us grow, Outcome is the right place for you.


And what is "here" anyway? Outcome is in Ottawa, but hey, it's 2023, and even before COVID, Outcome operated with almost half of its staff based in other cities. That's because our project sites are all over the country and we are amazing at using computers and technology to communicate effectively as a team. Although an Ottawa base is preferred, if you are confident you can succeed in leading teams in this way and you live anywhere in Canada, your "here" is our "here".


What will you do? Bad news is that it is work (see

The good news is that you will always have a great sense of pride in securing some amazing projects and you will be supported by a group of professionals that are always driven to impress the hell out of our clients.
