  • Establish value-added teaming strategies based on gap analysis to improve PWIN and to create a profitable return at a winning bid price enabling a reasonable margin
  • Analyze markets for company products and services and recommend strategies to achieve marketing/business development goals
  • Perform business development functions including networking, research, tracking opportunities, and communicating updates with stakeholders to increase business branding, opportunities, and growth
  • Meet with current and potential clients to ascertain their requirements and apprise them of company capabilities
  • Collaborate, coordinate, and exchange information and leads with line managers, the MSP BD Lead position and other personnel
  • Develop proposals, solutions, plans of action, business plans, and marketing materials through writing market survey responses and ensuring sufficient resources are applied to achieve milestones
  • Support, create, and present New Business Reviews, Pursuit Reviews, and Business Area Reviews as well as other material for communication of opportunities and pipeline status with business leadership and stakeholders
  • Maintain current knowledge of relevant technologies in order to successfully meet client requirements
  • Support the Growth team in managing and tracking status of NDAs/TAs, subcontract relationships, end-to-end growth team activities, and opportunities for strategic captures within the NIS Sector as needed
