About the role

Most competitive K-12 deals are decided before anyone reads the proposal - by whether the district can fund the purchase, and whether we're already on a contract vehicle they can buy from. We're looking for a Senior Bid & Capture Manager to own both halves of that equation: the bid work that wins the pursuit, and the capture work that shapes the odds before it starts. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 7-10 years across proposal writing, bid management, public sector capture, contract vehicle or vendor list management, or SLED contract management, with wins in a competitive market you can walk us through in detail
  • Fluent with AI tooling and opinionated about where it helps a writing-and-compliance function and where it introduces risk
  • Familiar with at least one major cooperative or state contract vehicle from any side of the table - supplier, cooperative staff, or public agency buyer
  • Skilled at translating funding and procurement complexity into something a salesperson can act on immediately, and energized rather than drained by being the person the field comes to
  • Comfortable owning a broad function alone: prioritizing across competing deadlines, declining low-probability bids, and chasing subject matter experts who have competing priorities
  • Able to build process and systems
