This is a senior, remote leadership role at the intersection of client delivery and business development.
You will own a portfolio of client relationships while shaping opportunities into structured, high-quality pursuits.

Your work will directly influence pipeline growth, client satisfaction, response quality, and operational scalability.

Success means creating a repeatable delivery engine where accounts, opportunities, and production pipelines run with minimal executive intervention.

- Architect opportunities: Shape qualified opportunities into structured use cases, outlines, and response strategies; assess pursue/no-pursue decisions and establish the quality standard before production begins.
- Direct delivery resources: Manage the day-to-day work of production analysts, technical writers, and assigned contractors by setting scopes, deliverables, deadlines, and quality expectations.
- Manage the production pipeline: Own the process from opportunity review and solution architecture through drafting, packaging, and handoff for final leadership review.
- Maintain delivery standards: Develop and maintain templates, formats, process documentation, coverage matrices, and RACI structures to ensure consistency across accounts.
- Monitor resources and budgets: Track contractor utilization against approved scopes and budgets, identify variances, and escalate issues when appropriate.
- Drive business development: Partner with business development leaders to qualify opportunities and maintain accountability for pipeline progression across federal, state, and local pursuits.
- Support final review and governance: Collaborate with senior leadership on final deliverables and pursuits while ensuring account continuity through documented processes and backup coverage.
- Build operational maturity: During the first 90 days, transition into ownership of the account portfolio, establish standardized pipeline processes, develop production capacity, and take full responsibility for the delivery workflow.
- Demonstrated experience managing client relationships within government contracting, with the ability to build trust and maintain strong account health.
- Working knowledge of federal, state, and local procurement, including opportunity qualification, pursuit strategy, and response development.
- Proven ability to architect written responses, use cases, technical narratives, and other client- or government-facing deliverables.
- Experience directing writers, analysts, production teams, or contract resources toward clearly defined quality and delivery standards.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to provide precise direction and establish a high standard for deliverables.
- Strong judgment and strategic thinking, with the ability to determine when opportunities should be pursued and how resources should be allocated.
- Ability to manage multiple accounts, opportunities, deadlines, and stakeholders while maintaining consistent delivery quality.
- Comfortable working in a fully remote environment, coordinating across time zones and managing asynchronous handoffs with distributed or offshore resources.
- Availability aligned with client meeting schedules and the ability to operate with a high degree of autonomy.
- Preferred: Experience in non-traditional or emerging-technology business development.
- Preferred: Existing relationships within defense or federal civilian agencies.
- Preferred: Familiarity with distributed or offshore production support models.
- $90,000 annual base compensation, plus standard benefits and a bonus structure.
- Full-time, exempt position.
- Remote-friendly work model within the United States.
