Proposal Coordinator

MRIGlobal's Government Business Development (GBD) team provides full-service business development support to identify, qualify, and capture new business. We are looking for an experienced, self-motivated, proactive, and collaborative professional to lead planning and development of government proposals. The Government Proposal Coordinator plays a key role in securing government grants and contracts by managing the proposal development process, developing high quality and compliant proposals, and working across teams to ensure information is provided and timelines are met. This position involves coordinating proposal efforts, ensuring compliance, and developing content to increase win rates. While this position will focus specifically on developing and delivering high quality, compliant business volumes, there is an opportunity to learn and support the technical volumes as well. The individual leading this effort will be highly organized, detail-oriented, and experienced in government proposal processes.

This position will be based in either Washington DC Metro Area or Kansas City, Missouri and will report to the Manager of the Government Proposal Management Center.

Organize and facilitate proposal kickoff meetings, team assignments, compliance reviews, and color team reviews (specifically green teams for pricing strategy). Develop proposal outlines, compliance matrices, and schedules to ensure a structured and compliant submission. Maintain version control, manage proposal files, and ensure timely updates to content libraries. Ensure adherence to timelines, compliance, and process.
• Writing & Content Development: Write, edit, and format non-technical sections of proposals. Work closely with Mission Support, Business Unit, and Business Development teams to gather required information and compile into designated format. Ensure all documents are professionally written, formatted, and compliant with solicitation requirements.
• Compliance & Quality Assurance: Review and interpret solicitation documents to ensure full compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR/DFARS) and agency-specific requirements. Perform final quality checks, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and alignment with evaluation criteria. Coordinate document production, submission logistics, and post-submission follow-ups.
• Process Improvement & Knowledge Management: Maintain and update a proposal repository including storage of all submitted proposal documents, content library, templates, reusable sections, and past performance data. Identify and implement best practices to enhance efficiency in proposal and capture management processes.
