Responsibilities
As a Proposal Strategist, you will lead the development and delivery of compelling, compliant responses for U.S. federal and defense opportunities across CHAOS Industries. You will own the proposal process from initial planning through final submission, coordinating cross-functional contributors, maintaining schedules and compliance, managing review cycles, and ensuring each response is complete, accurate, and delivered on time.
This is a hands-on, writing-oriented role. In addition to managing the proposal process, you will work closely with engineers, product leaders, business development, capture, and other subject-matter experts to develop original technical content, tailor existing material to specific customer needs, and edit responses into a clear and consistent narrative. Success requires the ability to learn complex technologies, build content from limited source material, and write about new solutions for the first time.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a rapidly growing team dedicated to delivering highly impactful technologies to the defense, national security, and critical industry sectors.
