What This Role Is (and Is Not) This role IS: Detail-driven Process-oriented Deadline-focused A mix of coordination + hands-on work This role is NOT: A quota-carrying sales position A strategy or consulting role A “set your own pace” freelance gig You’ll have ownership — and accountability — for keeping proposal work accurate and moving. What We’re Looking For You don’t need industry-specific experience to apply. You do need to be: Comfortable working in Excel or Google Sheets Organized and reliable with follow-through Confident communicating with professionals Able to manage multiple tasks without losing details Calm when deadlines overlap If you’re the kind of person who likes turning scattered inputs into something clean and usable, you’ll do well here.
