Take ownership of assigned volumes, driving development and leading supporting writers to meet deadlines and develop quality written responses.
Actively participate in team solutioning sessions to elicit and articulate solution, strategy, approach to performing the work, experience, win themes, and discriminators.
Incorporate comments from multiple sources into documents, adjudicate comments from reviewers, and track status of reviewer comments.
Write clear, compliant, compelling, persuasive, and articulate proposal sections.
Develop and implement process improvements to help improve proposal quality.
