[Hiring] Sr. Director HRBP, Proposal & Bids @V2X

Role Description

The Sr. Director, HR – Proposals and Bids serves as the primary HR partner to Business Development and Capture, playing a critical role in how V2X competes and wins new work. This position creates a competitive advantage by ensuring HR’s strategy, data, and workforce insights are fully integrated into all bid submissions.

This leader owns the end‑to‑end process, governance, and coordination required to deliver accurate and timely HR inputs for every proposal. Core responsibilities include:

• Developing labor rates
• Validating compensation and benefits assumptions
• Designing staffing and transition plans
• Assessing key personnel requirements
• Evaluating union labor considerations

The Sr. Director ensures that all HR elements of the bid are compliant, cost‑competitive, and aligned with operational realities.

Functioning as the single point of contact for Business Development and Capture, this position provides proactive guidance on workforce strategy, market competitiveness, and HR risk management throughout the proposal lifecycle. The role collaborates closely with HR Centers of Excellence, Operational Leaders, and Pricing teams to ensure consistency, alignment, and readiness for program transition once work is awarded.

Key Responsibilities:

• Build and run the HR bid process: intake, a shared bid calendar, gate reviews aligned to the capture lifecycle, and clear owners and deadlines for every HR input.
• Keep the CHRO briefed on key bid issues: a regular pipeline review of bids with material HR impact, and timely escalation of union exposure, staffing risk, compensation trade-offs and decisions that need CHRO approval.
• Maintain a standard HR data package for proposals: total compensation, fringe and benefits, PTO, wage determinations and labor categories, refreshed on a set schedule.
• Review and approve labor rate, compensation and staffing assumptions with Total Rewards and pricing before they go into a price volume.
• Shape labor and pricing strategy with the pricing team: labor mix, wage positioning against market and the incumbent, escalation, and price-to-win trade-offs. Flag compensation risk early; under FAR, paying professionals less than the incumbent is evaluated for program continuity and staffing risk.
• Lead the sub-vs-hire decision with Contracts and capture: which labor categories V2X hires directly and which go to subcontractors, teaming partners or contingent labor, weighing cost, recruit ability, clearance timelines, CBA obligations, small business goals and delivery risk.
• Lead key personnel strategy: identify candidates early, secure letters of commitment and contingent offers with Talent Acquisition and keep them engaged through award.
• Plan incumbent workforce capture and phase-in staffing for recompetes and new awards, then hand off to the sector HRBP and TA team at award.
• Direct union bids with the Union Bid Specialist and Labor Relations: CBA review, successorship obligations under the Service Contract Act, and pricing of union wages and benefits.
• Write or review HR proposal sections: staffing plan, recruitment and retention, transition plan, and the total compensation plan evaluated under FAR.
• Track win/loss feedback on HR-related strengths and weaknesses and feed lessons learned back into the data package and process.
• Set guidance with Finance on how HR bid support time is charged (for example, to bid and proposal cost where applicable).
