About The Position

Join a PE-backed GIS consulting firm building a real proposal function from the ground up. This is a hands-on proposal role for someone who knows how government evaluators score submissions — and how to write responses that score higher. You’ll help build structure where little exists today. Less bureaucracy. More ownership. Real impact on win rates and growth. This team currently handles 50–60 proposals annually and is targeting significant growth. You’ll help build a more mature proposal operation while directly improving submission quality, compliance rigor, and win consistency. This is not a heavily layered enterprise proposal team. You’ll write, coordinate, problem-solve, and jump in where needed. Strong ownership matters here. You like pace and ownership. You start, finish, and follow through.
