Oversee proposal strategy, ensuring compliance, differentiation, and alignment with the capture plan. Use SharePoint and Teams to manage capture artifacts, teaming documents, and collaborative reviews.
• Business Development Bridge & Post-Award Transition – Serve as the bridge between BD and Capture, ensuring continuity throughout the opportunity lifecycle.
