Job Description

RMC is seeking a driven and strategic Proposal Manager to lead high-impact proposal efforts supporting our continued growth across DoD and civilian agencies. This is a highly visible role suited for a seasoned proposal professional who brings deep federal acquisition expertise, strong leadership capability, and a proven ability to deliver winning submissions in complex, competitive environments.

In this role, you will own the full proposal lifecycle—from early strategy through final submission—partnering closely with capture teams, subject matter experts, and executive leadership. You will play a critical role in shaping compliant, compelling, and high-scoring proposals while driving process discipline in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead end-to-end proposal development activities, including kickoff, scheduling, compliance management, content development, color team reviews, and final delivery.
  • Develop and execute win strategies aligned to business goals, increasing overall probability of win (Pwin).
  • Analyze and interpret solicitation documents (RFPs, RFIs, SOWs, PWS, CDRLs) to ensure compliance and inform proposal approach.
  • Partner with capture managers and leadership to shape competitive positioning and differentiated solutions.
  • Manage and coordinate cross-functional proposal teams, including writers, SMEs, technical contributors, pricing, and graphics.
  • Facilitate color team reviews and drive iterative improvements based on structured feedback.
  • Enhance proposal operations by refining templates, tools, and standard processes.
  • Ensure all submissions meet compliance standards, quality expectations, and strict deadlines.
