Senior Proposal Manager TEKsystems $76.92 - $84.13 / hr life insurance, sick time, 401(k), retirement plan United States, Maryland, Catonsville Aug 20, 2026

• Description
• Seeking a Manager of Proposals to serve as the central governance and execution leader for complex, high-value proposal efforts across prime and subcontract pursuits.

This leader will own the proposal rhythm from pre-RFP shaping through final submission, ensuring that every pursuit is compliant, compelling, organized, and ready for executive review. The ideal candidate is a federal proposal professional with 10+ years of progressive proposal development experience, including recent, consecutive leadership as a Proposal Manager or Proposal Manager for a U.S. government contractor. They can operate confidently in a growing small-to-midsize GovCon environment, bring structure to complex, fast-moving inputs, drive accountability without slowing momentum, and keep teams aligned when deadlines are tight and expectations are high. This role requires someone who brings more than schedule management to the role.. We need a proposal strategist and operational leader who understands both compliance and persuasion; someone who can create the matrix, lead the color team lifecycle with authority, protect version control, strengthen win themes, provide constructive challenge when content needs strengthening or timelines are at risk, and translate SME inputs into evaluator-ready stories that clearly communicate value, differentiation, and mission fit.
