We are developing next-generation solutions that enable the autonomous orchestration of heterogeneous unmanned systems across air, sea, land, and space with vital applications in the defense, intelligence, and commercial sectors.

Our Business Development team turns NODA’s technology into funded programs. The Proposal Development Manager makes sure every proposal we submit is compliant, compelling, and delivered on time.

Joining NODA means working on meaningful technology that pushes the boundaries of autonomy alongside a team that thrives on innovation, rapid iteration, and collaboration.

THE ROLE

As our Proposal Development Manager, you’ll lead NODA’s government proposal efforts from start to finish.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

- 5+ years of experience in proposal management or development for government contracts

- Experience managing multiple proposals under tight deadlines

- Strong writing, editing, and organizational skills

- Familiarity with federal proposal requirements and review processes

- Due to the nature of the position, U.S. citizenship is required due to ITAR regulations, along with the ability to obtain and maintain a DoD security clearance.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

- Experience supporting DoD or defense technology proposals

- APMP certification or experience with a structured proposal methodology

- Experience in a startup or fast-growing environment

SKILLS & ATTRIBUTES

- Organized, deadline driven, and calm under pressure

- Clear communicator who can guide technical and non-technical teams

- Builder’s mindset with a focus on practical, scalable processes

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
