Key Responsibilities:

• Lead end-to-end proposal strategy and development for complex, high-visibility, and high-value public sector opportunities
• Analyze RFPs and related documents to determine requirements, compliance matrices, risks, and win themes in both English and French

• Support proposal debriefs and post-submission reviews; identify process and content improvements
• Stay current on government procurement regulations (e.g., FAR, DFARS, provincial procurement rules), industry trends, and competitive positioning in public safety technology

Qualifications:

• 6+ years of progressive experience writing government proposals, with demonstrated ownership of complex or strategic submissions
• Professional fluency in both English and French, with the ability to write, edit, and review proposal content in both languages
  • If you are not bilingual, comfort in using a translation tool is needed

• Proven ability to lead proposal efforts independently with minimal oversight
• Strong experience collaborating with executive leadership and influencing cross-functional stakeholders
• Exceptional writing, editing, and proofreading skills with meticulous attention to detail
• Ability to translate complex technical content into clear, persuasive, and audience-appropriate narratives
• Experience managing multiple concurrent proposals and deadlines in fast-paced environments
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office; experience with proposal automation tools (e.g., Expedience, RFPIO, Loopio, Qvidian) strongly preferred
• Experience in public safety technology solutions (e.g., NG911, CAD, RMS, emergency communications) highly preferred
