Key
Responsibilities:
Pursuit
Leadership
- Lead 8–15 concurrent active
pursuits across federal, state, and commercial channels. Drive bid/no-bid
decisions, capture planning, win theme development, compliance matrices,
and final production. Accountable for on-time, zero-defect submissions. - Partner with leadership to shape
opportunities pre-RFP, identifying decision-makers, building teaming
arrangements, drafting Letters of Intent and Letters of Support, and
positioning RADcube as the obvious choice before the solicitation drops.
Public
Sector & Grant Proposals
- Lead and drive responses to
state and federal solicitations, including HHS, CMS, state Medicaid
agencies, state health departments, NIH, NSF, ARPA-H, and city/county
procurement bodies. Maintain working knowledge of FAR/DFARS basics,
SAM.gov requirements, set-aside vehicles, and GSA schedules. - Lead narrative development,
logic models, evaluation frameworks, and budget justifications for
foundation, NGO, and philanthropic funders (e.g., Gates). Translate
program design into fundable propositions aligned with funder priorities.
Commercial
& Cross-Vertical Proposals
- Manage proposals to commercial
payers, MCOs, PBMs, health systems, and Fortune 500 enterprise clients.
Calibrate tone, depth, and pricing structure to private-sector procurement
norms, fixed-fee, T&M, outcomes-based, and hybrid models. - Move fluidly across verticals, public
health and rural health one week, enterprise AI and data modernization the
next, managed-care services and PBM pursuits the week after. Ramp on new
domains quickly without losing rigor.
Proposal
Operations & Team Management
- Build and maintain the proposal
library, reusable content blocks, past performance database, resume bank,
pricing models, and color-team review processes (pink, red, gold,
white-glove). Implement and manage proposal management tooling. - Coordinate SMEs, technical
writers, designers, pricing analysts, and external consultants. Run
kickoff meetings, drive accountability against the schedule, and keep the
team on track without burning them out.
Requirements
Qualifications
- Experience: 8+ years in proposal
management, bid management, or capture management roles with progressive
responsibility across both public-sector and commercial channels. - Direct experience leading grant
proposal development for major foundation, federal, or NGO funders, with
at least one funded award you can speak to in detail. - Proven ability to pivot across
industry verticals, ideally healthcare, insurance/payer, public health,
and enterprise technology, with deep familiarity with the full proposal
lifecycle: capture, compliance matrix, storyboarding, color reviews,
production, and debriefs. - Strong command of pricing
strategy fundamentals, fixed-fee, T&M, cost-reimbursement,
milestone-based, and outcomes-based, and excellent technical writing
skills with the ability to translate complex AI, data, and clinical
concepts for non-technical evaluators. - Comfort working in lean,
fast-moving environments where wearing multiple hats is the norm, not the
exception. - Preferred: Experience with rural health,
FQHC, CHC, or safety-net provider environments; familiarity with
healthcare AI or digital health platforms; background with state Medicaid,
HRSA, CDC, or state health department procurement; insurer/MCO/PBM RFP
experience; APMP certification; and/or existing relationships with
regional procurement officers and teaming partners.
