Partner with Proposal Development to create proposals, budgets, timelines and Statements of Work.

Coordinate cross-functional subject matter experts across development, manufacturing, quality and regulatory functions to align on final client proposals.

Present technical solutions during proposal reviews, due diligence meetings and site visits.

Serve as the technical lead through project award and handoff to execution teams.

Continuously improve proposal tools, templates and standard work practices.
