Proposal Specialist – Legal Software Sales

Everlaw•Columbia, WA

1d•$43 - $54•Hybrid

About The Position

We are seeking a Proposal Specialist who will own the day‑to‑day project management and process execution of our RFP, RFI, and related questionnaire responses, with a particular focus on public sector and complex private‑sector deals. You’ll coordinate cross‑functional contributors, manage timelines and dependencies, and ensure high‑quality, compliant, and on‑brand responses go out the door on time. Over the past year, this role has evolved from primarily writing individual answers to orchestrating the entire RFx lifecycle: building schedules, running kickoff and check‑in meetings, tracking review cycles, and partnering with sales teams and SMEs to keep long‑cycle opportunities moving without last‑second “fire drills.” You will also be a key process and technology optimizer for the proposals function. That includes using and improving tools like SiftHub and AI assistants (e.g., Gemini) for first‑pass responses, compliance checks, and content organization; then triaging and refining that content with SMEs to ensure quality, accuracy, and compliance; tuning prompts and templates; and capturing reusable knowledge so each new RFx is faster, more predictable, and more effective than the last. Getting started We want you to feel like part of the team early on! Our onboarding process will integrate you into the company with informative sessions on our product, policies, processes, and team structure and goals. We’re excited for you to learn, grow, and contribute right away. We trust that you’ll bring experience and knowledge that will uplift and uplevel the team, but we don’t expect you to know everything on Day 1.

Requirements

You have 1–3 years of experience in a project‑oriented, multi‑stakeholder environment role such as proposals, project management, sales operations, consulting, legal operations, technical writing, or a similar field. Direct RFx experience is a plus, but not strictly required for the right early‑career candidate.
You are highly organized and process‑driven, comfortable managing multiple concurrent projects, deadlines, and stakeholders without dropping details, especially in long‑cycle public sector or enterprise deals.
You have excellent writing, editing, and proofreading skills, with the ability to turn complex technical and legal information into clear, concise, and persuasive responses tailored to the audience.
You are curious and comfortable with technology and AI, eager to experiment with tools like SiftHub, Gemini, and other AI assistants to improve quality and efficiency while maintaining sound judgment about when human review is required.
You enjoy working cross‑functionally, building strong relationships with sales, solutions architecture, security & trust, legal, product, and finance, and you are adept at “chasing” inputs with empathy and clear communication rather than escalation.
You are comfortable pushing back or asking clarifying questions when requests are unclear, incomplete, or risk over‑commitment, and you strive to protect both Everlaw and our customers by grounding responses in fact.
You are authorized to work in the United States; please note that at this time, Everlaw is not sponsoring visas for this role.
