Proposal Manager

Sabot Consulting • Sacramento, CA

8d • $85,000 - $105,000 • Remote

About The Position

Sabot Consulting is seeking a firm-wide owner of document quality, knowledge organization, and proposal production. This hybrid document-production, knowledge-management, proposal-operations, and quality-assurance role focuses on making the company’s written work professional, controlled, findable, reusable, compliant, and submission-ready. The position is not primarily a content-authoring role.

The Proposal Manager owns document standards and final-production quality, administers proposal production, maintains knowledge repositories, edits and proofreads proposals and client deliverables, and develops AI-enabled document workflows. The role also serves as the final quality checkpoint for designated proposals and client deliverables and works to prevent recurring document and process defects.

Sabot Consulting is a management consulting company providing technical and management consulting to IT executives and managers across strategic, operational, and project-based practice areas. The company emphasizes engaging clients at all levels through expert staff with relevant knowledge, experience, and professionalism.
