Sr. Marketing Proposal Manager

Meade is looking for a Senior Marketing Proposal Manager to run our proposal function, full stop. That means owning which pursuits we chase, how we tell our story, and whether what goes out the door actually gives us a shot at winning. You'll lead the proposal process, work directly with principals, and have the judgment to build a clear, data-backed recommendation on which pursuits are worth the firm's resources. Final go/no-go rests with leadership, but this person's read on fit and win probability should be the input that decision starts from.

This is a senior seat. We're not looking for someone to format documents. We're looking for someone to make the call on where our resources go and defend that call in the room.
