STG, Inc. is seeking a solution-oriented, high-energy business- and proposal-savvy individual to serve as a hands-on Proposal Manager on major or strategic, high-visibility proposals to department of defense, civil, and intelligence agencies of the Federal Government.  This individual will be responsible for ensuring that the solution is contained in the proposal documents and oral presentations in a creative, compelling, and compliant manner.

This individual will be expected to:
- Take end-to-end ownership and command of proposal development and related support processes, including down-select questions, written proposals, oral presentations, Evaluation Notices (ENs), Final Proposal Revisions (FPR), etc.
- Proactively develop, maintain, and continuously apply the STG proposal planning process for each proposal, to include outlines, storyboards, themes, action items, etc.
- Write and synthesize proposal/marketing narrative in near-real time as required.  Leverage existing archived proposal information.
- Develop targeted questions and interview technical and programmatic staff to extract the critical information necessary to develop technical and managerial solutions.
- Provide detailed guidance to proposal writers/contributors within STG and its subcontractors.
- Communicate proposal-related requirements and status with senior management, as appropriate.
- Remain current on all amendments and modifications to the solicitation.
- Participate proactively in advancing STG proposal knowledge management processes.

In addition, as part of an integrated team comprised of Business Development Directors, Capture Managers, and proposal support staff:
- Work with the Capture Managers to develop and articulate technical, management, and phase-in solutions. 
- Lead and proactively participate in the development of oral presentation slide concepts and scripting.  The focus is on the solution development and script development, not on the production, documentation, and process elements.  Those are necessary, but not sufficient.
- In concert with the Capture Manager, plan, coordinate the schedule for, select the membership of, and lead effective, results-driven storyboarding/storylining, kickoff, and review meetings.  Be proactive in the conceptualization and development of strategic win themes and discriminators.

Critical attributes include exceptional communication, teamwork, flexibility, organizational capacity, ability to motivate, and a “do-whatever-it-takes” attitude.  Successful candidate should expect to work a considerable amount of additional time on extremely short notice.  That candidate must handle competition-sensitive information appropriately.  Travel is required as necessary.
