Job Description

At AKS , we are growing and building for the future. We bring together multidisciplined experts across the land development, energy, and infrastructure markets to take on bigger challenges and deliver solutions that make a real difference. Our teams combine creativity, technical excellence, and a collaborative, hands-on approach to solve complex problems and deliver results our clients and communities can count on. We take pride in our work and our ability to provide opportunities for our teams, support each other’s growth, and look ahead to what’s next. When you join AKS , you will find opportunities to take ownership of meaningful projects, learn, lead, and make an impact from day one.

We're looking for a Senior Proposal Manager who’s ready to bring energy, creativity, and precision to a high-impact role on our marketing and business development team. If you're passionate about producing top-tier proposals and thrive in a fast-paced environment, this is your chance to directly support growth across multiple AKS offices and make a real impact.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead the development of compelling proposals, statements of qualifications, and roster submittals that win work.
  • Manage the full proposal lifecycle—from go / no-go decisions to content creation, editing, layout, and final production.
  • Collaborate with project managers, technical staff, and other marketers to gather information and ensure deadlines are met.
  • Track and interpret RFPs / RFQs to ensure full compliance and highlight AKS differentiators.
  • Support and guide interview strategy and preparation, including development of presentation materials.
  • Maintain and update marketing content in our CRM (Unanet-Cosential), including resumes, project descriptions, awards, and photography.

Who You Are

  • You have 5+ years of proposal experience in the A / E / C industry with a strong understanding of Qualifications-Based Selection (QBS).
  • You’re an exceptional writer and editor with a knack for translating technical content into persuasive messaging.
  • You’re self-driven and highly organized, with the ability to manage multiple deadlines and competing priorities.
  • You work well with a variety of personalities and enjoy collaborating with technical and marketing professionals.
  • You’re proficient with Adobe InDesign and Microsoft Office, and comfortable working in CRM systems.

    • Nice to Have

  • Bachelor's degree in English, Journalism, Communications, Marketing, or a related field.
  • Familiarity with Unanet-Cosential (or similar CRM).
  • Experience preparing interview materials and supporting pursuit strategy.
  • Knowledge of branding, layout design, and adherence to writing style guides.
  • Experience submitting to public agencies at the local, state, or federal level.

    • Why AKS?

    At AKS, we believe your work should support your life—not the other way around. Here's what you can count on when you join our team :

  • Meaningful Growth : Hands-on training, mentorship, and clear paths for professional development.
  • Real Collaboration : Multidisciplinary teams solving complex challenges together.
  • Respect for Your Time : Flexible schedules and generous PTO to support balance.
  • Benefits That Care : Comprehensive health plans, 401(k) with matching, and more.
  • Weekly Team Lunches : Food brings people together, so we make time for it.
  • Culture That Connects : Events, site visits, and experiences that strengthen our teams.

    • Join us and be part of a team that values your contributions and invests in your future.
