  • Identify material contractual, commercial, compliance, or operational issues and ensure appropriate escalation.

  • Maintain strong version control and documentation throughout proposal and contract negotiations.

  • This role does not replace legal counsel but must recognize issues requiring legal or executive review.

Reporting & Continuous Improvement

  • Maintain a centralized pipeline of active, upcoming, submitted, awarded, and unsuccessful bids.

  • Track bid volume, value, turnaround time, win rate, contract value awarded, submission timeliness, and reasons for wins and losses.

  • Demonstrated success contributing to or managing competitive bids and contract awards.

  • Exceptional commercial writing, editing, proofreading, and executive communication skills.

  • Project Leadership: Creates accountability across multiple teams and senior stakeholders.

  • Strategic Thinking: Understands evaluation criteria and develops responses around factors that influence buying decisions.

Within the first 6–12 months, this individual will establish a structured RFP process, centralized content library, bid calendar, bid/no-bid framework, standardized templates, performance reporting, and a scalable operating model for Globalli's growing enterprise and government business.

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. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

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.
