The Business Development Manager is a mid-level business development professional responsible for supporting execution of business development outreach and leading day-to-day coordination of the Corporate Proposal Support Team. This role partners closely with the Business Development Director to execute capture strategies, support proposal development, and improve proposal processes across the enterprise. The position emphasizes execution, coordination, and proposal leadership, rather than ownership of full capture accountability or revenue targets.

Assist with capture planning activities such as competitive analysis, teaming research, win themes, and pursuit schedules.

Occasional travel for customer meetings, proposal activities, or industry events.

Corporate Proposal Support Leadership

Lead the Corporate Proposal Support Team, coordinating proposal schedules, assignments, and deliverables across multiple pursuits.
Manage proposal development activities including compliance tracking, content coordination, color team reviews, and final production.
Partner with capture managers, pricing, contracts, technical SMEs, and program leadership to ensure proposal inputs are complete, compliant, and aligned with strategy.
Support development and maintenance of proposal templates, tools, and standard processes.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Coordinate with corporate functions including finance, contracts, legal, engineering, IT, cybersecurity, and marketing to support proposal and capture efforts.
Serve as a central point of coordination between sector teams and corporate proposal resources.
Track proposal lessons learned and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.

Additional Responsibilities

Prepare briefings, reports, and presentations for leadership review.
Support limited proposal cost coordination activities (e.g., data collection, BOE inputs) under direction.
Perform other duties as assigned.

Qualities We Look For:

Creativity and innovation in solving challenges
Integrity and responsibility in all actions
Collaboration across teams and specialties
Responsiveness in fast-paced environments
Passion for national security and excellence

Experiences and Background We Look For (Required Skills):

Bachelor's degree in Business, Management, Marketing, Engineering, or related field.
7 years of experience in business development, proposal management, capture support, or program support within a government contracting environment.
Demonstrated experience supporting federal proposals and capture efforts.
Experience coordinating cross-functional teams without formal supervisory authority.
Strong understanding of the federal business development and proposal lifecycle.
Excellent written, organizational, and communication skills.
Ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
Working knowledge of proposal compliance, reviews, and production processes.
Proficiency with CRM and proposal tools (e.g., Deltek, GovWin, SharePoint, Teams).
Comfortable with, or prepared to, incorporate Artificial Intelligence tools into business and proposal processes.

Nice to Have (Preferred Skills):

APMP Foundation or Practitioner certification.
