[Hiring] Federal Pipeline Manager & Proposal Writer @Praescient Analytics

Role Description

Praescient Analytics is seeking a Federal Pipeline Manager & Proposal Writer to own the opportunity-discovery and pipeline-readiness functions of the company's federal growth lifecycle while serving as Praescient's second experienced proposal writer and editor. This person will continuously source, research, organize, and document relevant opportunities; maintain accurate pipeline, contract-vehicle information and internal BD Library; coordinate teaming documentation; and equip Praescient's executives and business-development leads to make timely pursuit decisions.

This is not a customer-facing capture, sales, or post-award contracts-administration position. Praescient’s extended business development team will retain responsibility for customer engagement, PWIN assessment, capture strategy, partner selection, and teaming decisions. The successful candidate must build the opportunity pipeline and possess strong federal proposal-writing and editing capability to recognize alignment, anticipate response requirements, independently lead smaller responses, draft substantial proposal content, and conduct independent reviews of major submissions.

This role can be performed remotely, provided you reside in the United States.

• Independently manage and write smaller RFIs and proposals when assigned.
• Serve as alternate proposal manager or volume lead during proposal surges.
• Provide substantive editorial support for proposals led by the Federal Proposal Manager.
• Perform independent compliance and content reviews under Praescient's protocol.
• Use approved generative-AI tools to enhance various proposal processes.
• Maintain reusable pipeline, teaming, vehicle, and proposal records.

• Strong substantive editing skills for proposal content.
• Advanced experience using generative-AI tools for proposal processes.
• Strong Microsoft Office skills and experience with federal opportunity portals.
• U.S. citizenship required due to federal customer and information-access requirements.
• Ability to complete company-required employment verification and background screening.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with DoD, Intelligence Community, DHS, DOJ, MDA, or other markets.
• Experience administering OASIS+, SEWP, GSA, or comparable IDIQ/GWAC processes.
