Overview

TekSynap is seeking a Senior Proposal Manager to lead the development of compliant, detailed, accurate, compelling, and clear written proposals as an essential element of our strategic growth plan. The ideal candidate will have a bachelor’s degree and 8+ years of progressive experience in various areas of proposal development and management. The individual will be extremely comfortable working in cross-functional teams, leading and administering the entire proposal process for assigned opportunities.

A background demonstrating small group leadership and management; project planning, organizing, and tasking; strong written and oral communication skills; and analytical skills is critical to this position. Experience in the conventional duties of proposal management (analyzing and writing RFI/RFP responses, managing schedules, coordinating contributors and competing priorities, etc.) is necessary. This position requires operating at a strategic level with senior business leadership, coordinating the capture strategy with the RFI/RFP response.

The Proposal Manager is a critical role at TekSynap, requiring strong time management skills. The Proposal Manager will be responsible for multiple projects at the same time and will need to prioritize and coordinate activities based on importance, timelines, and other contributors’ schedules. Many RFI/RFPs include last-minute requirements, which may require off-hours work to meet established deadlines. Senior Proposal Managers may be responsible for supervising and training subordinate team members.
