• Create and manage proposal timelines, task assignments, and milestones to keep all contributors on track.
• Edit and refine proposal content for clarity, consistency, tone, and persuasiveness—especially technical and delivery sections.
• Translate complex software concepts into clear, client-friendly language that highlights business value, competitive advantages, and real-world impact—ensuring technical solutions are understood by both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Ensure compliance with RFP instructions, formatting requirements, and contractual guidelines.
• Support sales strategy development by identifying opportunities to strengthen positioning and delivery models, and driving a proactive pipeline of contract opportunities.

Qualifications
