This role will be deeply impactful team member in the build-out of our Federal business and our customers’ ability to acquire our product. You will work collaboratively with sales, capture, legal, finance, contracts, operations, leadership, etc., but also work in a fast-paced, autonomous environment with the ability to drive projects quickly and be creative with how to accomplish goals. You will take ownership of winning, compliant proposal responses to customers with a deep empathetic understanding of their business, funding and procurement processes.

    • Tracking proposal metrics and supporting post-submission debriefs/lessons learned.
  • You possess the talent and know-how to build out a Federally focused proposal capability and process that aligns with Peregrine’s business approach.
  • You have the knowledge to implement and operate a proposal infrastructure including reusable materials, proposal tools (e.g., AI, third party platforms, etc.), processes, and more.
  • Develop partner and direct proposal approaches.
  • Create approaches that maintain Peregrine’s fast-moving culture while ensuring viability with Federal procurement requirements.
  • You are skilled at internal communications, allowing key stakeholders to clearly understand Peregrine’s options and associated tradeoffs to make the best decisions possible.

  • 7+ years managing Federal proposals (DoD, civilian agencies, or intelligence community preferred).
  • Strong knowledge of Federal acquisition processes and proposal compliance standards.
  • Experience with Shipley or similar proposal methodologies.
  • Excellent writing, executive level communication, editing, presenting and stakeholder management skills.
  • Proficiency with MS Office/SharePoint; experience with proposal management software a plus.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

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.
