• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple high-stakes deadlines simultaneously in a startup-speed, high-growth environment.
• High ownership, resilience, and bias to action; someone who solves problems, removes blockers, and keeps momentum high.

Preferred Qualifications:

• APMP Foundation, Practitioner, or equivalent proposal-management training or certification.
• Experience supporting enterprise security questionnaires, vendor due-diligence responses, and commercial proposal workflows outside of government-only environments.
• Experience building proposal content libraries, reusable assets, and operating metrics that improve cycle time, consistency, and win quality.
• Familiarity with quantum computing, quantum networking, cybersecurity, AI infrastructure, or other emerging technical domains.
