Proposal and Capture Strategist
True AnomalyWashington, District of Columbia, United States · Posted 3 months agoDescription
Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it.
OUR MISSION
True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.
OUR VALUES
- Be the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity.
- What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results.
- It’s the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together.
YOUR MISSION
As a Capture & Proposal Strategist, you are the engine room driving the proposal—leading complex pursuits with full accountability for strategy, quality, and delivery across the proposal lifecycle. You will lead complex, high-stakes proposals ($25M+) independently from strategy through submission, managing multiple stakeholders and competing priorities. You will demonstrate exceptional autonomy—and should self-direct ambiguous problems, set appropriate checkpoints, and make effective trade-offs between depth, quality, and timeline. You will proactively identify and resolve blockers weeks in advance and hold yourself and teammates accountable for commitments. You will align cross-team communications seamlessly across the Growth team, Engineering, Legal, Contracts, and Pricing, and lead proposal reviews that foster transparent dialogue where every perspective is valued. You will produce executive-quality narratives and discriminators that persuasively articulate True Anomaly’s value proposition and experience. Your deep fluency in True Anomaly products and the space sector will enable credible partnership with technical counterparts. You will contribute to capture planning including win strategy, competitive positioning, and customer engagement, applying nuanced understanding of FAR/DFARS/RFO and acquisition strategy to shape proposals. You will mentor peers and raise the bar across the team, drive impactful cross-team initiatives that benefit the entire Growth organization and demonstrate strong influence across functions through expertise and collaborative approach. You will be mission-driven, thoughtful, curious, and when you speak, people will listen.
