• Use Excel at an expert level to manage proposal trackers, compliance matrices, schedules, status reports, and related proposal support tools
• Leverage AI tools to automate repetitive proposal tasks, organize content, improve workflow efficiency, and assist with RFP compliance checking, while maintaining full editorial responsibility for final output
• Maintain proposal schedules, compliance matrices, activity trackers, and supporting documentation with strong attention to detail
• Ensure version control, consistency, and coordination discipline throughout the proposal lifecycle
• Contribute to continuous improvement of proposal templates, automation methods, workflow practices, and content management processes
• Support selected business development and marketing activities during periods of lower proposal volume

• Strong experience supporting SaaS, software, or enterprise technology solutions, ideally in one or more of the following areas: EHS, ESG, Water, GHG, Asset Management, sustainability, compliance, or related operational systems
• Advanced to expert proficiency in Microsoft Word, with practical working strength at approximately 8–9 out of 10
• Expert knowledge of Microsoft Excel for trackers, compliance matrices, schedules, reporting, and proposal workflow support
• Demonstrated ability to coordinate effectively across multiple departments and contributors under demanding deadlines
