SUMMARY

This role is centered on disciplined proposal execution and process management. You will work alongside a segment Business Development team that owns customer relationships and capture strategy, while you translate that strategy into winning, compliant proposals delivered on schedule.

The role requires strong coordination across engineering, contracts, program management, pricing, and corporate capture functions. You will right‑size process rigor depending on opportunity complexity and ensure that every pursuit is executed with discipline.

This position reports to the segment General Manager , with a dotted‑line relationship to the segment BD Senior Director . You are the primary interface between segment commercial activity and Karman’s centralized Capture Governance, Proposal Operations, and Pricing teams.

ABOUT US
Karman Space & Defense delivers high‑performance manufacturing solutions across launch vehicles, hypersonics, missile defense, tactical missiles, and maritime defense platforms. With a growing pipeline exceeding $3B and customers including the DoD, commercial launch providers, and major defense prime contractors, Karman’s continued growth depends on proposal excellence — and this role is central to that mission.

Prepare accurate gate review packages for segment leadership
Translate BD win strategy into proposal structure, themes, and discriminators
Maintain accurate opportunity data in CRM (stages, probabilities, dates, status)

Team Coordination & Process Management

Lead the segment proposal team (writers, estimators, proposal engineers, admin support)
Maintain a tiered response framework based on opportunity complexity
Own triage decisions for incoming requests, escalating when strategically necessary
Run color‑team reviews (pink/red/gold) and ensure feedback incorporation
Build and maintain a segment content library (past performance, boilerplate, graphics)

Pricing & Cost Volume Coordination

Coordinate cost volume development with segment Finance, PM, and Contracts
Ensure pricing decisions align with technical and management volumes
Escalate complex pricing, FAR/CAS compliance, or strategic pricing issues to centralized Pricing

Pipeline & Reporting
