  • Adapt compliance frameworks to satisfy varied procurement nuances across all federal frameworks, including the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Defense FAR Supplement (DFARS), and individual civilian agency policies.
  • Critique proactive white papers and conceptual solution architectures to guarantee they conform to federal mission goals, formatting regulations, and page limitations.
  • Perform final administrative and desktop publishing quality checks on formatting, active links, references, and mandatory government representations and certifications prior to submission.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, English, Communications, Contracts Procurement, or a related field.
  • 5+ years of dedicated proposal compliance, quality control, or proposal management experience within the federal government contracting (GovCon) market.
  • Expert-level mastery of the federal source selection process, evaluation methodologies, and FAR/DFARS compliance regulations.
  • Advanced capability in building structured compliance matrices from scratch, tracking outstanding elements, and maintaining configuration control over fast-moving volumes.
  • Superior proficiency in Microsoft Word (expert style sheets, template generation, macro tools), Adobe Acrobat Pro, SharePoint, and automated compliance tracking software.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Demonstrated experience performing compliance and quality reviews across multiple federal agency sectors (DoD, Civilian, and Intelligence Community).
  • Ability to work effectively in fast-paced, high-volume proposal environments under tight submission deadlines.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with high attention to detail.
