Are you seeking an opportunity to join a dynamic team of proposal managers dedicated to securing US Federal work worldwide? AECOM is actively recruiting an experienced proposal leader to join our Governments Marketing team. In this pivotal role, you will take ownership of leading major proposals and presentations, providing strategic guidance and hands-on support from pre-RFP positioning through to interview stage, as required. You will also mentor junior proposal professionals supporting both Federal Civilian and DoD Proposal teams.
This position offers the flexibility of a remote work schedule and can be based from a variety of locations in the US were AECOM has an office.
Your responsibilities will span proposal writing and development, with a strong emphasis on strategic thought leadership—crafting compelling win themes, shaping key messaging, and ensuring all deliverables are fully compliant and differentiated. You’ll leverage your expertise to drive creative approaches and effective strategies throughout the pursuit lifecycle, including workshops to refine win strategies and messaging.

Additional preferred experience includes proposal writing for DOI, NASA, and other Federal civilian and defense clients.
The ideal candidate brings proven experience in US Federal proposal development, a collaborative leadership style, advanced skills in compliance and pre-positioning, and a record of thought leadership in developing winning themes and key messages, especially for Federal environmental opportunities.
