Proposal Coordinator

Charlotte, North Carolina, United States

LandDesign is a collection of visionaries and problem solvers who believe in the power of balance, combining creativity and practicality to design what we know will thrive. We leverage our diverse expertise and relentless curiosity to deliver innovative, attainable big ideas — aligning our clients’ vision with the culture of the community to delight those who will enjoy the space. We are driven by a boundless desire for better, because we believe that learning is lifelong and growth is infinite. This curiosity and uncommon collaboration fuel our culture and drive ideas that continuously improve our practice and the people who are part of it.

LandDesign creates places that matter, and every pursuit is an opportunity to build or strengthen the relationships that make that work possible. As a Proposal Coordinator, proposals are your core responsibility. You’ll work alongside practice leaders, technical staff, and an award-winning communications team to shape the firm’s experience into clear, compelling submissions that help us win meaningful work.

This role supports passionate, detail-driven creative professionals who are deeply committed to delivering value to their clients. Your job is to help organize their experience and expertise into polished, accurate, and on-time proposals. You won’t always have every piece of information at the start, and deadlines don’t move, but you won’t be navigating it alone. Our communications team is collaborative, high-performing, and generous with knowledge. We expect quality and value feedback. We work hard and genuinely enjoy working with each other. If you’re energized by keeping people organized, building relationships internally, and bringing order to moving pieces, you’ll find purpose here.

What You'll Do: 

  • Coordinate the production of proposals from kickoff through submission
  • Develop timelines and workplans to keep pursuits on track
  • Gather and organize project information, resumes, and supporting materials
  • Draft and edit proposal content including cover letters, project descriptions, and resumes
  • Review submissions for clarity, accuracy, and compliance with RFQ/RFP requirements
  • Maintain momentum across multiple active pursuits at once
  • Partner with technical staff to collect and clarify information
  • Maintain proposal templates, tools, and information databases to ensure accuracy and efficiency
  • Contribute ideas to improve workflows and systems over time

Your Strengths - Initiative, Curiosity, Confidence

  • You’re relationship-driven and motivated by helping others succeed
  • You enjoy organizing tasks, information, and people to achieve a shared goal
  • You can manage multiple deadlines and adapt when priorities shift
  • You take pride in high-quality work and strong attention to detail
  • You communicate clearly and confidently with peers and leadership
  • You are proactive and comfortable asking questions and following up
  • You can organize, filter, and prioritize input
  • You view feedback as a tool for growth, not criticism
  • You stay composed when timelines accelerate or information changes

Technical Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in communications, marketing, graphic design, or a related field 
  • Minimum of 1 year of professional experience in marketing, proposals, communications, or a related environment
  • AEC industry experience is desired but not required
  • Excellent writing, editing, and proofreading capabilities
  • Working knowledge of Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) and Adobe InDesign 
  • Strong graphic sensibility and understanding of layout and formatting

You don’t need to come in as a proposal expert. You do need to be curious, adaptable, and motivated by helping others succeed. If you’re excited about contributing to a team that takes pride in its work and wants you to grow with it, this could be a strong fit. Submit your resume and a cover letter that tells us not why you’re technically right for the role, but why you’re personally the best to help us achieve collective success.

Employees are offered a competitive compensation package and robust benefits package that includes access to wellness programming, 401k retirement plan, paid holidays, paid time off, paid parental leave, paid volunteer hours, health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurances. 

LandDesign is an equal opportunity employer and values a diverse workplace.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

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.
