  • Upskill quickly on S&CF and M&A capabilities/offerings and also industry/sector knowledge during and outside proposals to help shape content proactively 
  • Adhere to relevant procedures (e.g., file structure, archive, backup) for all proposal materials and processes 
  • Prepare templates, compliance matrices, close-out activities, and/or other administrative elements throughout proposal development based on submission requirements
