Do you have the skills necessary to prepare for and manage the development of winning proposal responses? Are you organized and detail oriented? Do you have experience interacting with end customers to negotiate and finalize contract terms? Then Thomson Reuters Special Services (TRSS) is looking for you!
About the Role:
In this opportunity as a Contracts and Proposals Manager, you will be responsible for ensuring successful proposal development through contract execution for a large line of business within our company. This position will report directly to our Senior Manager, Proposal Development and will be part of a dynamic proposal and contracts team that supports the growth and the execution of our business.
Proposal Management: Managing the RFP response process from PRE-RFP phase through RFP release, including proposal planning, development, and proposal reviews, proposal submission, best and final offer (BAFO), and final award for specific lines of business and client segments. You will work with product and technology experts from across the company to facilitate their inputs into the proposals, and you will ensure that we are submitting compliant, compelling and winning bids. You will be an expert written and oral communicator that can motivate and manage teams to hit tight deadlines, and you'll be able to do so with little guidance. You will work with a tenured business development, technical, and product team to build responses to customer needs.
Knowledge Management: Helping to maintain an electronic repository of content that can be leveraged for future RFPs and inquiries from customers and creating additional proposal tools and resources as necessary. This includes a "lessons learned" library, as well as a library of past performance references. You'll work with the Legal department to hone and maintain an established playbook of responses to commonly included contract provisions and clauses.
Contracts Management: In consultation with the Senior Contracts Manager and Chief Counsel, you'll be responsible for the creation of entries and maintenance of our existing contracts management system. You'll also be the primary point of contact between the client and our Legal department.
You'll possess the ability to support a range of proposals, from streamlined, short turnaround standardized task order responses-to long-term capture efforts, where solutions and win themes are developed and matured over time. While you'll primarily focus on the streamlined, standardized proposals-candidates with experience across long-term capture efforts will bring a unique perspective to this team. You'll also be able to review contracts quickly to ensure compliance and accuracy.
