Senior Healthcare Proposal Manager

Why We Have This Role

Healthcare organizations don't buy like everyone else—their deals come with strict HIPAA and PHI rules, business associate agreements, HITRUST standards, and government-regulated program requirements like CMS-mandated CAHPS surveys. We need a dedicated healthcare proposal expert to join our Global Proposal Team and partner directly with Healthcare Sales, Solution Consulting, Security, Legal, and Privacy. You will own complex provider, health system, and payer proposals from kickoff to submission—translating dense compliance, security, and survey administration requirements into clear, winning responses. By bringing deep healthcare fluency to the team, you’ll speed up turnaround times, eliminate rework, and help us capture a growing market while leveling up your teammates along the way.

How You’ll Find Success

  • Healthcare Domain Fluency: You know how providers, health systems, and payers think—connecting patient and member experience, quality measurement, and regulatory priorities directly to our solutions.

  • End-to-End Ownership: You thrive on taking complex RFPs, RFIs, and security questionnaires from chaotic kickoff to polished, compliant submission without dropping a detail.

  • Compliance & Security Savvy: You don't have to be a lawyer or CISO, but you know how to navigate HIPAA, PHI, HITRUST, and BAAs—asking the right questions of Security, Legal, and Privacy to spot risks early.

  • Proactive Problem-Solving: You spot operational bottlenecks before they derail a deadline and step in with practical fixes that protect both team sanity and proposal quality.

  • Clear, Compelling Storytelling: You can take dense technical or regulatory requirements and turn them into crisp, persuasive narratives—backed by clean, consistent visual formatting.

  • Cross-Functional Influence: You build high-trust relationships across Sales, Product, Consulting, and global teammates, keeping busy stakeholders aligned under tight deadlines.

  • Generous Peer Mentorship: You enjoy sharing what you know, casually coaching teammates, reviewing healthcare responses, and elevating the whole team's confidence in the vertical.

How You’ll Grow

  • Become the Go-To Healthcare Authority: Deepen your expertise across provider, payer, and government-regulated markets to serve as the primary healthcare strategic resource for Sales and the Global Proposal Team.

  • Lead High-Stakes Strategic Deals: Take the helm on our largest, most complex healthcare opportunities that directly shape major client partnerships and revenue growth.

  • Drive Global Process Innovation: Design and scale new healthcare-specific workflows, templates, and content libraries that raise the efficiency and quality bar for the entire proposal organization.

  • Partner with Senior Leadership: Work closely with the Global Proposal Team Lead and senior leaders across Sales, Security, Legal, and Consulting to influence long-term strategy and team vision.

Things You’ll Do

  • Accelerate Healthcare Deal Velocity & Win Rates: Own end-to-end management of high-priority provider, health system, and payer RFPs, RFIs, and government-regulated bids (including CMS-mandated CAHPS proposals) from kickoff through final submission.

  • Eliminate Rework & Scale Team Capacity: Build, audit, and maintain a vetted, up-to-date healthcare and compliance content library inside Responsive (formerly RFPIO) so the global team can respond faster and more accurately.

  • Ensure 100% Compliance & Risk Mitigation: Partner with Legal, Privacy, and Security teams to accurately address HIPAA, PHI, HITRUST, and BAA requirements, flagging potential contractual or security gaps early in the cycle.

  • Elevate Executive Polish & Visual Impact: Write, edit, and design cohesive, visually compelling proposal documents and executive presentations that stand out to healthcare evaluators.

  • Upskill the Global Proposal Team: Deliver informal training, peer reviews, and practical playbooks to build healthcare domain confidence across teammates in multiple geographies.

What We’re Looking For On Your Resume

We focus more on capability and outcomes produced than “typical qualifications” or years of experience. You may not check every single box, and that’s okay—we’re looking for the right person, not a rigid checklist.

  • Proven RFx & Proposal Track Record: Demonstrated success managing complex proposals, RFPs, or security questionnaires (via proposal management, technical writing, or project coordination) in a fast-paced environment—with healthcare experience strongly preferred.

  • Working Healthcare & Compliance Knowledge: Hands-on familiarity with providers, health systems, or payers, including practical experience navigating HIPAA, PHI, business associate agreements (BAAs), and security frameworks like HITRUST.

  • Exceptional Writing & Synthesis Skills: Strong command of written and spoken English, with a proven ability to distill complex regulatory or technical topics into clear, persuasive narratives for diverse stakeholders.

  • Visual Design & Document Craft: Demonstrated graphic design skills with an eye for layout, typography, and brand consistency in proposals, executive decks, or business documents.

  • Core Toolset Fluency: Hands-on experience with Responsive (RFPIO); design tools (Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, Acrobat); productivity suites (Microsoft Office and Google Workspace, plus Coda.io); and Slack.

What You Should Know About This Team

  • High-Impact, Global Collaboration: You’ll join a supportive, globally distributed proposal team that partners closely with Sales, Solution Consulting, Security, and Legal on some of the company's most strategic healthcare deals.

  • Culture of Ownership & Autonomy: We trust you to own your deals, spot inefficiencies, and build better workflows rather than micromanaging how you get there.

  • Built-In Mentorship & Knowledge Sharing: We win as a team—you’ll have space to share your healthcare expertise while learning from seasoned proposal pros across different industries and regions.

  • Transparency From Day One: At Qualtrics, transparency is a core value. Our hiring process includes multiple interview rounds and a mandatory writing sample so both you and our team can thoroughly evaluate fit and showcase your communication craft

US Demographic Questions

Why are you being asked to fill out two sets of demographic questions? Qualtrics is required by the federal government to distribute the Equal Employment Opportunity questions exactly as they are written. However, we recognize that the questions do not fully capture the fullness of a person’s identity and experience when it comes to gender identity, sexual orientation and race. DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) is a cornerstone of our company culture. We are committed to inclusivity in our hiring process and want to give you the opportunity to self-describe your identity.


With this in mind, we invite you to participate in this additional set of voluntary demographic questions. The data collected will be used anonymously and in aggregate, so we can evaluate our processes to ensure we’re providing equal opportunities to applicants from all backgrounds. Your responses, or your choice not to respond, will not be associated with your specific application and will not in any way be used for individual hiring or compensation decisions.
