We are looking for a strategic, driven, and results-oriented Proposal & Business Intelligence Manager to fuel our growth and win the contracts that define the future of cybersecurity. A proactive leader who will play a key part in shaping TDI's five-year strategy, providing direct input into our growth trajectory and having a seat at the table with leadership.

• 5+ years of experience in proposal writing and management within federal contracting (government and DoD experience preferred).
• Deep understanding of the Shipley proposal process and federal procurement cycles.
• Proven experience in business intelligence, capture support, or early-stage opportunity development.
• Ability to engage government customers and contracting officers to build relationships before solicitations are released.

• Ability to manage multiple high-stakes deadlines without sacrificing quality.

Responsibilities

• Drive the proposal process by leading bid and proposal activities across multiple, concurrent pursuits—ranging from quick-turn RFIs to complex, large-scale RFPs.
• Own the strategy, execution, and quality of each submission.
• Conduct market and competitive intelligence by identifying upcoming opportunities, tracking procurement trends, analyzing agency buying behaviors, and providing early insight into future RFPs.
• Support account planning with business intelligence: gather and analyze market trends, agency budgets, procurement forecasts, and competitive landscapes to inform strategic account planning and drive targeted business development efforts.
• Build relationships with government customers: engage with contracting officers, program managers, and acquisition personnel before a solicitation is released—helping position TDI as a trusted partner.
• Develop compliant, compelling proposals: analyze solicitations, create compliance matrices, stand up proposal teams, manage color reviews, and drive high-quality content development aligned with the Shipley process.
• Craft clear, persuasive, and technically sound proposal narratives.
• When needed, step in as a proposal writer, especially for key or stretch opportunities.
