  • Draft and update standard proposal sections using approved organizational language and resources. 
  • Assist with proposal formatting, data gathering, document assembly, proofreading, and final quality review. 
  • Maintain the RFP tracking log and proactively flag upcoming deadlines, missing materials, and potential submission risks. 
  • Contribute approved content and completed responses to ESS’s internal RFP response database for use in future submissions. 
  • Ensure proposals are polished, accurate, responsive to district requirements, and submitted on time. 

Contract Support 

  • Review and quality-check AI-generated contracts for accuracy and completeness before routing them for approval. 
  • Manage contract intake, internal approval routing, and the handoff to signature. 
  • Confirm that pricing, service details, terms, and other key information are accurately reflected in contract documents. 
  • Flag pricing exceptions, unusual terms, or other potential issues to the Revenue Operations, Senior Analyst. 
  • Maintain accurate contract-status tracking and follow up on outstanding items to prevent agreements from stalling in the pipeline. 
  • Coordinate with Sales, Operations, Finance, Legal, and other stakeholders throughout the contracting process. 
  • Follow established contract-system standards and quality benchmarks in partnership with the Revenue Operations, Senior Analyst. 

Additional Growth and Operations Support

  • Provide formatting, document coordination, quality-assurance, and administrative support for other growth-related materials. 
  • Help maintain organized and accessible proposal, contract, and quote documentation. 
  • Adapt to shifting organizational priorities and provide support across functions during high-volume periods. 

Qualifications and Skills: 

  • One to three years of experience in RFP or grant writing, proposal development, contract support, quote support, or a related area. 
  • This is not an entry-level role; candidates should have prior experience supporting complex, deadline-driven documents or processes. 
  • Exceptional attention to detail and the ability to serve as a quality-control checkpoint for contracts and proposals. 
  • Strong written communication, proofreading, editing, and document-formatting skills. 
  • Ability to gather information and coordinate effectively with stakeholders across multiple departments. 
  • Strong organizational and time-management skills. 
  • Ability to manage competing priorities across RFP work, contract support, and ad hoc Operations requests. 
  • Comfortable learning and using new software and AI-assisted tools.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
