Establish and negotiate teaming posture - prime, subcontractor, or partner - based on competitive assessment. Develop and defend probability of win estimates; forecast calibration is a measured performance indicator. Proposal and Close Drive proposal content as the customer-facing author of the win strategy, working with Proposal Management through Pink, Red, and Gold Team reviews to compliant, on-time submission. Support orals, negotiations, and post-submission customer engagement through award. Execute transition of awarded work to the delivery organization with full customer context, and remain engaged through the initial period of performance.

Experience with Department of Defense proposals and a working understanding of the Federal Acquisition Regulation required. Working knowledge of the federal procurement process and market research tools including SAM.gov, FPDS, GovWin, or required.
