Proposal Development

  • Break down requirements into technical components and work packages (e.g., architecture, development, QA, DevOps, implementation).
  • Apply multiple estimation techniques (e.g., WBS, Agile-based estimations, historical data, expert judgment).
  • Identify technical risks, dependencies, and assumptions and clearly document them in proposals.
  • Support solution structuring involving web, mobile, and cloud-based architectures.

Collaboration & Process Improvement

  • Coordinate meetings and technical discussions with internal teams and clients as needed during the proposal process.
  • Support the enhancement and maintenance of proposal and estimation standard operating procedures (SOPs), templates, and best practices.
  • Participate in research related to software development technologies, platforms, and cloud services to inform solution recommendations.
  • Report to the Director of Operations for review, validation, and approval of proposals and estimations.

Technical Requirements (Mandatory)

  • Demonstrated experience estimating software development projects, including:
    • Scope definition and assumptions
    • Effort, cost, and timeline estimation
    • Risk and dependency identification
  • Familiarity with cloud computing platforms and delivery models (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP, SaaS).
  • Ability to interpret functional and non-functional requirements and translate them into technical solution approaches.

Required Skills & Knowledge

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English and Spanish.
  • Strong technical writing, proofreading, and documentation skills.
  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and SharePoint/OneDrive.
  • Ability to manage multiple deadlines in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities.
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision while collaborating across multidisciplinary teams.

  • Writing and editing technical proposals related to IT solutions, software development, and professional services.
  • Developing proposals for government and commercial clients.
  • Producing cost and effort estimations for IT or software development initiatives.
