Why this role?

Bring your proposal expertise to a role where you can own the process and help make it better. You’ll lead submissions from planning and kickoff through final delivery, turning technical expertise into clear, compelling proposals alongside technical teams, business development, finance, and leadership. Beyond each deadline, you’ll help strengthen the templates, branding, and processes behind future pursuits. It is an opportunity to combine hands-on writing with proposal leadership and contribute to business growth across Allnorth’s engineering, project delivery, and construction services.

Our Ideal Candidate

You’ll thrive as a Senior Proposal Specialist on Allnorth’s Proposal Office team if you’re an experienced proposal professional who takes pride in developing clear, compliant, and compelling proposals. You know how to turn complex technical information into submissions that speak to what clients care about, and you enjoy working closely with technical teams, business development, finance, and leadership to get there.

You’re highly organized and stay steady when deadlines overlap. You communicate clearly, keep people moving without losing sight of the details, and are always looking for ways to make the next proposal better than the last.

A Day in the Life

• Lead and coordinate proposal submissions, including RFPs, RFIs, and RFQs
• Manage the proposal lifecycle from planning and kickoff through final submission
• Review bid documents to identify requirements, risks, and opportunities
• Collaborate with technical teams and stakeholders to develop compelling and compliant submissions
• Write, edit, and refine proposal content so clients can clearly understand the proposed approach, ensuring consistent messaging and high-quality submissions
• Support or lead ongoing continuous improvement initiatives

What You’ll Bring to the Team

• 10-12 years of proposal development, bid management, or related experience, preferably in Engineering, Consulting or Professional Services environments
• Exemplary English writing and editing skills, with the ability to turn technical content into clear, persuasive proposals
• Demonstrated ability to communicate and coordinate effectively with stakeholders at all levels within the organization
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft 365, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, SharePoint, and Teams; experience with Adobe InDesign or similar tools is an asset
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a deadline-driven environment
• Experience using AI tools to support content development and research is an asset
• Familiarity with pursuit and / or capture management in a project and services-based environment is an asset

Your proposal development, writing, and stakeholder coordination skills are central to this role. Engineering, consulting, or professional services experience is preferred, while InDesign and AI-tool experience are assets—not requirements.
