  • Establish BD metrics, dashboards, and reporting mechanisms to monitor pipeline health, proposal outcomes, and organizational effectiveness
  • Serve as top‑level administrator for Salesforce CRM, ensuring accurate data entry, reporting, and BD pipeline visibility
  • Report regularly on pipeline performance and orders forecasting to executive leadership
  • Lead onboarding for BD leads, directors, and operations staff, ensuring consistent integration into the BD process

What You’ll Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree and 15+ years of progressive experience in business development, capture management, and proposal leadership, with 5+ years in a managerial role
  • Demonstrated success driving capture strategies, winning federal proposals, and leading BD teams
