About The Position

Are You a Master of the "Winning Word"? At The Budd Group, our motto is "Great People, Great Service."

We are looking for a high-energy, detail-obsessed Proposal Writer who can take a complex operational plan and turn it into a persuasive masterpiece. You aren’t just filling out forms; you are the architect of our "Make It Happen" strategy. You’ll bridge the gap between our sales vision and the real-world solutions that keep schools, hospitals, and corporate headquarters running smoothly. The Mission (How You’ll Make an Impact): Drive the Lifecycle: You’ll own the end-to-end RFP/RFQ process with a high sense of urgency and a "refuse to lose" mentality. Be the Voice of Budd: You’ll craft compelling narratives that highlight our unique family-owned heritage combined with our professional, enterprise-scale capabilities. Collaborate with Pros: You’ll sit down with our operational Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to translate technical janitorial and landscaping solutions into value-driven stories. Design High-Impact Visuals: It’s not just about the words. You’ll build stunning PowerPoint decks and presentations that make our "Great People" shine during client pitches. Curate the Library: You’ll maintain and grow our content "arsenal," ensuring our templates and capability statements are always cutting-edge and brand-consistent.
