Pursuit Manager — Federal

Oracle•United States,

29d•$44,300 - $69,100•Onsite

About The Position

The Pursuit Manager — Federal is the operational backbone of Oracle Health's existing federal contract portfolio. Embedded with account teams, this role owns the day-to-day pursuit work that converts task order requests, modifications, and renewals into on-time, fully compliant Oracle responses. The position absorbs the administrative and process work that currently falls on quota-carrying sales directors — freeing them to focus on customer relationships, growth conversations, and strategic positioning. This is a doer's role, not an advisor's role. The Pursuit Manager will assist in Scope Review Boards, drives pricing requests through internal approvals, maintains capture documentation, manages the SharePoint repository, and keeps Sales Cloud and CPQ current. Success means the sales director never has to chase a pricing response, and the customer never receives a late or non-compliant submission.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree, or equivalent combination of education and federal capture/pursuit experience.
Minimum 5 years of federal capture, pursuit management, contracts administration, or proposal coordination experience supporting a major federal health, IT, or services contract.
Demonstrated experience driving customer pricing responses, task order modifications, or RFP responses through complex internal approval processes against tight deadlines.
Working knowledge of federal acquisition mechanisms (IDIQ, BPA, GWAC, GSA Schedule) and task order modification workflows.
Strong working proficiency with CRM (Salesforce or equivalent), CPQ, SharePoint, and Microsoft 365.
Proven ability to operate independently in a high-volume, deadline-driven environment with minimal supervision.
Excellent written and verbal communication; comfortable presenting to internal leadership and customer stakeholders.
U.S. Citizenship required; ability to obtain a Public Trust clearance.

Nice To Haves

Direct experience supporting federal health customers.
Familiarity with Oracle Health (Cerner Millennium) product portfolio, or comparable enterprise health IT platforms (Epic, MEDITECH, Allscripts).
Experience with Oracle Sales Cloud, Oracle CPQ, or Oracle internal contracting and deal desk processes.
Background in capture management methodology (Shipley, APMP) or equivalent formal pursuit discipline.
Existing Public Trust, Secret, or higher-level federal clearance.
Prior experience working with prime contractors or systems integrators in the federal health IT ecosystem.

Responsibilities

Maintain the master in-process tracker on the Capture SharePoint site as the single source of truth for active pursuits.
Escalate ambiguous or out-of-scope requests to the Account Executive and Director, Pursuit & Capture for disposition.

Assemble the pricing response package, including labor estimates, SKU configurations, and supporting narrative.
Drive the response through internal approval gates — Customer Deal Desk, GRM, and any required exception approvals — and submit to the customer on time.
Schedule, prepare, and facilitate the Scope Review Board meeting for every in-process task order modification on the assigned portfolio.
Build the SRB read-ahead package (scope summary, financials, delivery considerations, stakeholder list); distribute 24 hours in advance.
Capture decisions, dissenting views, and action items; update the SharePoint record and notify all attendees within one business day.
Track unresolved items to closure; re-convene the SRB as needed.
Maintain a rolling capture plan for each significant in-flight pursuit, including customer hot buttons, competitive landscape, and Oracle differentiators.
Coordinate with the Account Executive, Solution Architect, and Product team to develop win themes and success criteria for upcoming task order modifications and renewals.
Document customer engagement history (calls, meetings, decisions) in the capture plan; surface gaps and follow-up opportunities to the AE.
Support pre-RFP positioning where the customer signals an upcoming requirement (typical 60–90 day window).
Prepare materials for the weekly account pipeline review and the monthly federal operating rhythm; ensure pipeline reflects actual stage and probability.
Provide accurate, current data inputs for Biz Ops Leadership Action Tracker (LAT) calls and quarterly business reviews.
Surface forecast risks, slipped opportunities, and resource conflicts proactively — never wait for leadership to ask.
Run point on month-end and quarter-end pursuit close activities for the assigned portfolio.
Own opportunity data quality in Sales Cloud and CPQ for the assigned portfolio: stage accuracy, close dates, dollar values, and product configurations.
Configure CPQ quotes (including dummy SKUs where required) to reflect the agreed pricing structure; coordinate with Sales Operations on edge cases.
Maintain the Capture SharePoint site as a complete, current, and well-organized repository of pursuit documents.
