• Draft, edit, and proofread proposal and presentation content, ensuring accuracy, and clarity.
• Maintain and organize the Pursuit Team’s content library, ensuring that bios, case studies, boilerplate, and proof points are current, accurate, and easy to access.
• Help capture feedback and lessons learned through structured debriefs, documenting takeaways and updating resources for future use.
• Help apply and reinforce best practices in process, storytelling, and delivery, contributing to continuous improvement in the quality and consistency of output.
• Ensure all deliverables are compliant with RFP requirements, responsive to client needs, and aligned with agreed pursuit themes and messaging.
• Assist with preparation for client presentations, including version control, speaker notes, run-of-show documents, and logistics coordination.
• Support refinement of pursuit library content by partnering with Senior Pursuit Managers and subject matter experts to capture differentiators, best practices, and new case studies.
• Partner with Senior Pursuit Managers, service line leaders, and sales professionals to support pursuit strategy and execution for complex, high-profile opportunities.
