Covering an initial 8-week leave of absence (with potential for extension), this role acts as a driving force behind the firm's competitive pursuits.

Candidates must reside within a commutable distance to an office for standard schedule alignment (Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:30 PM), with an operational preference for candidates working on Eastern Standard Time (EST).

What You Will Do

• End-to-End Proposal Management: Manage the full pitch and proposal lifecycle from kickoff to final submission, ensuring all deliverables are compliant, on-time, and client-centric.
• Strategic Advisory: Provide expert guidance for complex RFP responses and pitches, directly partnering with attorneys, pricing teams, and firm leadership to optimally position each pursuit.
• Market & Audience Intelligence: Conduct audience, client need, and market perception analyses to gather critical intelligence that shapes response strategies.
• Value Proposition Creation: Identify, articulate, and embed competitive differentiators, unique win themes, and clear firm-wide value propositions into response materials.
• Content Development: Write, edit, and create new client-facing content while performing strict quality control over all outgoing pitches and proposal documentation.
• Database & Asset Maintenance: Refine, expand, and maintain the central repository of stock languages, proposal databases, and content management systems related to specific practice groups and sectors.

Who You Are

• Experienced BD Professional: 7+ years of project and production experience focused on managing RFPs and pitches within a professional services environment (law firm or legal industry experience is highly preferred).
• Elite Communicator: Exceptional writing, editing, and copy-proofreading skills, with a proven ability to translate complex service offerings into persuasive, client-focused benefits.
• Strategic Problem Solver: Strong independent judgment, decision-making capabilities, and a sharp analytical eye for creating custom value propositions that beat out competitors.
• Deadline-Driven Project Manager: Demonstrated success managing multiple complex projects simultaneously under short, highly pressurized turnarounds.
• Systems & Software Proficient: Deep database experience with proposal management systems, knowledge networks, and corporate presentation software.
• Educated: Holds a 4-year Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing, Communications, or a related business discipline.
  
   

The Ideal Candidate is a battle-tested pitch and proposal champion from a professional services background who can step into a high-caliber environment on day one without missing a beat. You possess a rare combination of elite writing skills and meticulous data organization. You are an assertive project manager who comfortably guides busy partners through an RFP timeline, maintains cross-functional relationships, and crafts distinct "win themes" that set the firm apart.
