Director, Proposal Operations

Titan Technologies is seeking a Director - Proposal Operations. This role will perform as the Proposal Team Lead / Proposal Manager to lead our Proposal Management function supporting U.S. Government (Federal and State and Local) pursuits. This role is responsible for driving proposal excellence across the enterprise-by leading, mentoring, and scaling the Proposal Team-while selectively managing proposals for high‑value, high‑risk, or strategically critical opportunities.

This is a leadership‑first, player/coach role. The successful candidate will focus on building consistency, discipline, and quality across Titan's proposal portfolio, stepping into direct proposal ownership only when it matters most.

Duties and Responsibilities:

Lead and Scale the Proposal Team

• Lead, mentor, and develop Titan's Proposal Managers, Proposal Specialists, writers, and proposal support resources.
• Manage proposal staffing and workload balancing across multiple, concurrent federal and state and local pursuits.
• Collaborate with personnel to support functions including IDIQ Program Management, Sharepoint, and AI Tool management.
• Establish and enforce proposal operating standards, including kickoff expectations, status cadence, Red Flag sessions, and Pink/Red/Gold reviews.
• Serve as the escalation point for proposal risk, resourcing challenges, schedule pressure, or compliance concerns.
• Drive continuous improvement of proposal processes, templates, tools, and reusable content libraries.
• Partner closely with Capture, Business Development, Technical Leadership, Contracts, Pricing, and Executive Leadership to ensure proposal operations align with TITAN's growth priorities.

Selective Proposal Ownership

• Serve as Proposal Manager on strategic, high dollar, or mission critical pursuits as needed.
• Lead end to end proposal execution when assigned-ensuring compliance, quality, and on time submission.
• Model proposal best practices and mentor team members through real time execution on complex bids.

You MUST have:

• Active or eligible to obtain a Secret security clearance.
• 10+ years of federal proposal experience.
• 6+ years as a Proposal Manager or Senior Proposal Manager.
• Demonstrated experience leading proposal teams, not just managing individual proposals.
• Strong understanding of federal solicitations (state and local experience a plus), proposal compliance, and color team reviews.
• Proven ability to lead teams under deadline pressure while maintaining quality and discipline.

It's GREAT if you also have:

• Experience leading large, complex proposals ($50M+).
• Experience leading a team of Proposal Managers.
• Proposal methodology training (e.g., Shipley).
• Experience overseeing editing, desktop publishing, or graphics functions.
• Experience with IDIQ Program Management, Sharepoint, and AI Tool management.

Education:

• Bachelor's degree in related field required + 10 years' experience OR Master's degree in related field + 8 years' experience
