Full Job Description

WHO WE ARE

The PR industry hasn't really changed in fifty years. Relationships, lunches, luck, and a clip report at the end of the month.

Interdependence is rebuilding it from the ground up. Interviewed, our proprietary platform, analyzes 300,000+ stories every day across a network of 250,000 journalists. We turn earned media into something measurable, repeatable, and worth paying for — and apply the same data and discipline across paid, social, content, and brand. Integrated marketing run by one team, on one system, accountable to one result.

Forbes named us one of America's Best PR Agencies. Our 100+ person team works with brands, CMOs, founders, and entrepreneurs across consumer, healthcare, tech, B2B, travel and entertainment.

We move fast. The best argument wins. We hire for sharp thinking, real craft, and ownership from day one. If you want comfortable, this isn't the place. If you want to win, build with us.

THE ROLE

We are seeking a writer, editor, and critical thinker to serve as Manager, Proposal Content & Quality. This role is responsible for shaping, refining, and quality-checking new business proposals to ensure they read like high-caliber editorial, sell like persuasive writing, and present like clean, modern decks.

This role owns content quality and narrative integrity from first draft through final delivery. The ideal candidate deeply understands creative writing, what "good editorial" feels like on the page, and how to craft persuasion without hype. They can quickly diagnose what matters most to a prospective client, tighten language, clarify strategy, and elevate storytelling into a confident point of view. This person will act as the final strategic, editorial, and presentation filter before proposals reach prospects.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Serve as the primary content editor and quality assurance lead for new business proposals, ensuring clarity, consistency, and strategic alignment throughout.
Edit proposals with true editorial judgment: strengthen narrative flow, sharpen positioning, improve differentiation, and align recommendations to client goals.
Elevate persuasive writing across proposals by improving logic, prioritization, and impact, ensuring proposals are compelling to executive decision-makers.
Bring a creative writer's sensibility to language, structure, and storytelling, transforming rough inputs into crisp, confident, human content.
Identify gaps, redundancies, or inconsistencies in messaging, case studies, and recommendations, and proactively recommend improvements.
Select, tailor, and refine case studies and supporting proof points to clearly demonstrate relevance and outcomes.
Partner with account leads, subject matter experts, and senior leadership to pressure-test ideas, sharpen framing, and strengthen the "why now" narrative.
Use AI strategically to accelerate drafting, improve options, and iterate quickly, while applying human editorial standards to ensure nuance, credibility, and originality.
Demonstrate strong PowerPoint judgment with an eye for clean design: improve slide hierarchy, layout, pacing, and clarity so the deck supports the story and drives the close. This role does not require graphic design, but it does require excellent taste and presentation discipline.
Manage multiple proposals simultaneously, prioritizing effectively across deadlines, stakeholders, and proposal complexity without sacrificing quality.
Maintain and improve proposal templates, content libraries, and editorial guidelines to raise overall quality and speed over time.
Apply learnings from wins, losses, and feedback to continuously improve proposal effectiveness and consistency.

QUALIFICATIONS

4 - 8 years of experience in public relations, communications, marketing, or related agency environments.
Exceptional writing and editing skills, including creative writing capability and demonstrated ability to make content feel editorial, precise, and persuasive.
Strong editorial judgment and critical thinking, with the ability to evaluate content beyond grammar, including logic, positioning, structure, and impact.
Experience writing, editing, or owning proposals, pitch decks, and new business materials.
Comfortable using AI tools for drafting and iteration, with strong prompting skills and the discipline to refine outputs until they meet a high bar.
Strong PowerPoint proficiency, with excellent taste for clean layout, hierarchy, and narrative pacing.
Highly organized, deadline-driven, and able to manage many projects at once while prioritizing based on business urgency.
High attention to detail without losing sight of the big picture.
Highly organized, deadline-driven, and able to manage many projects at once while prioritizing based on business urgency.
High attention to detail without losing sight of the big picture.
Confidence providing clear, constructive feedback to senior stakeholders and influencing toward stronger work.

THE PERKS

We offer a competitive benefits package—including comprehensive medical/dental/vision coverage, vacation/sick leave/holiday PTO, 401(k), Flex Fridays, flexible remote work options, and Summer Fridays.
