• Exceptional writing and editing skills, with the ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly and persuasively.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent proposals and shift between proposal management and writing roles as needed.
• Strong knowledge of Shipley-based proposal processes and disciplined adherence to CMMI or ISO-aligned procedures.
• Working knowledge of generative AI and AI-assisted proposal tools, with a data-driven approach to continuous improvement.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and SharePoint for collaborative development and version control.
