About The Position

TekSynap is seeking a Senior Proposal Manager to lead the development of compliant, detailed, accurate, compelling, and clear written proposals as an essential element of our strategic growth plan. The ideal candidate will have a bachelor’s degree and 8+ years of progressive experience in various areas of proposal development and management. The individual will be extremely comfortable working in cross-functional teams, leading and administering the entire proposal process for assigned opportunities.
A background demonstrating small group leadership and management; project planning, organizing, and tasking; strong written and oral communication skills; and analytical skills is critical to this position. Experience in the conventional duties of proposal management (analyzing and writing RFI/RFP responses, managing schedules, coordinating contributors and competing priorities, etc.) is necessary. This position requires operating at a strategic level with senior business leadership, coordinating the capture strategy with the RFI/RFP response.
The Proposal Manager is a critical role at TekSynap, requiring strong time management skills.

Many RFI/RFPs include last-minute requirements, which may require off-hours work to meet established deadlines. Senior Proposal Managers may be responsible for supervising and training subordinate team members.
