Proposal Specialist

We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown fences. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Include only sections with real content. We need to parse job description. We have: - Intro about CohnReznick, firm description, remote position, hybrid, etc. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the firm". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content. We have "YOUR TEAM." describing role: lead preparation and submission of winning Government and Public Sector proposals, work with cross-functional team, etc. That's responsibilities. We have "WHY COHNREZNICK?" describing mission, benefits, total rewards package: generous PTO, flexible work environment, expanded parental leave, extensive learning & development, paid time off to volunteer. That's Benefits. We have "YOUR ROLE. Responsibilities Include But Not Limited To" then a list of responsibilities. That's Responsibilities. We have "Your Experience." then bullet list of qualifications: Bachelor's degree required, APMP certification preferred, 1-3+ years experience writing winning Government and Public Sector proposals, etc. That's Qualifications/Requirements/Skills. We also have "Salary is one component of the CohnReznick total rewards package..." but no specific salary figure. So we should NOT create Pay section because no specific salary stated. Schedule: remote position, hybrid, remote but may need office presence. Could be considered schedule info? The posting mentions remote, hybrid, may need office presence. That could be schedule? But schedule heading is for work schedule details like full-time, part-time, shift. Not present. Probably skip. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we can have: - About the role (maybe summarizing firm description and remote/hybrid nature). The intro includes description of firm, remote/hybrid, position considered remote, may need office presence. That's about the role/firm. We'll put as About the role. - Responsibilities: from "YOUR TEAM." and "YOUR ROLE. Responsibilities Include But Not Limited To". Combine. - Qualifications: from "Your Experience." plus maybe also "Your Experience." includes required degree, certification preferred, experience, skills. - Skills: maybe separate from Qualifications? Could combine but we can have Skills section for writing, communication, etc. However the qualifications list includes skills like writing, attention to detail, presentation, etc. Could put them under Skills. But we need to avoid duplication. Perhaps Qualifications for education/experience, Skills for abilities. Let's extract: Education/Experience: - Bachelor’s degree in Journalism, Communications, Marketing, Political Science, Creative Writing, or related field required - APMP certification or experience preferred - 1-3+ years experience writing winning Government and Public Sector proposals and experience/training with the Shipley Proposal process is highly preferred. - Proven ability to work across organizations with effective communication, leadership, and project management skills - Proven attention to detail - Excellent writing, grammar, and spelling ability - Excellent presentation and written/oral communication skills - Ability to work in a deadline-conscious, results-driven environment These could be both qualifications and skills. We could split: Qualifications: education, certification, years experience. Skills: writing, attention to detail, communication, presentation, leadership, project management, deadline-conscious. But the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine into one "Qualifications" section that includes education, experience, and skills. That's fine. Benefits: from WHY COHNREZNICK? includes generous PTO, flexible work environment, expanded parental leave, extensive learning & development, paid time off for volunteering. Also mentions Total Rewards package includes discretionary performance bonus, generous PTO, expanded parental benefits, access to best-in-class learning and development platforms. So we can list those. We also have remote/hybrid info: "CohnReznick is a hybrid firm and most of our professionals are located within a commutable distance to one of our offices. This position is considered remote which means it does not require job duties be performed within proximity of a CohnReznick office location. However, as a remote employee, you may be required to be present at a CohnReznick office with scheduled notice for client work, team meetings, or trainings." This could be under About the role or maybe a separate section like "Work Arrangement". But we only have allowed headings; we could put that info in About the role paragraph. Thus sections:

About the role

... description of firm, remote/hybrid nature ...

Responsibilities

• ... list items ...

Qualifications

• ... list items ...

Benefits

We should not include Pay or Schedule. Now need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. Let's extract details precisely. About the role paragraph: Should include: - As CohnReznick grows, so do our career opportunities. - As one of the nation’s top professional services firms, CohnReznick creates rewarding careers in advisory, assurance, and tax with team members who value innovation and collaboration. - CohnReznick helps organizations optimize performance, manage risk, and maximize value through CohnReznick LLP (assurance services) and CohnReznick Advisory LLC (advisory and tax services). - Together, the firm provides leaders with deep industry knowledge and relationships, solutions to address clients’ unique business goals and risks, and insight on how emerging market forces can drive opportunity. - With offices nationwide, the firm serves organizations around the world as an independent member of Nexia. - Currently have an exciting career opportunity for a Proposal Specialist to support our Government practice. - CohnReznick is a hybrid firm and most of our professionals are located within a commutable distance to one of our offices. - This position is considered remote which means it does not require job duties be performed within proximity of a CohnReznick office location. - However, as a remote employee, you may be required to be present at a CohnReznick office with scheduled notice for client work, team meetings, or trainings. We can combine into a paragraph. Responsibilities: Need to capture all bullet points from "YOUR TEAM." and "YOUR ROLE. Responsibilities Include But Not Limited To". Let's list them: From YOUR TEAM: - Lead the preparation and submission of winning Government and Public Sector proposals. - Work with cross-functional proposal team members to help respond to Request for Proposals (RFPs), Request for Quotations (RFQs), Requests for Information (RFIs), Sources Sought Notices (SSNs) and manage the entire proposal development process to ensure on-time delivery of compelling, compliant, and high P-win proposals. - Research, write, and produce a high volume of client-facing documentation on behalf of our firm in support of an array of our services. - Successfully communicate and collaborate with a variety of internal stakeholders including practice leadership and other subject matter experts and teaming partners, as needed. - Exhibit strong writing skills, excellent attention to detail, and the ability to generate creative ideas while working both independently and collaboratively. - Be a high performing, self-starter, proactive, multitasker who works well under pressure, and follows through on tasks. - Lead by example and keep the team informed of changes. From YOUR ROLE Responsibilities Include But Not Limited To: - Act as the central point of contact on assigned proposals, and lead and guide the work of the Bids and Proposals team - Analyze RFQs, RFPs , RFIs and SSNs to burst the solicitation, create compliance matrices, proposal outlines, templates and development plans - Direct proposal kickoff, status and debrief meetings, as well as prepare detailed proposal agendas, data calls, schedules, meetings, outlines, and compliance matrices for all phases of the proposal process. - Plan winning themes, value propositions, strengths, risk reducers, and differentiated solutions to initial proposal outline - Work closely with practice leadership to complete the formulation of “win strategies and themes” (taking into account strategic relationships, competitor intelligence, etc.) and ensure the message is articulated throughout the proposal - Solicit management reviews and approvals during proposal development - Monitor proposal content to ensure compliance to RFP requirements, evaluation criteria, technical requirements and internal proposal process - Lead and/or support the development and submission of winning bid responses by working with the client service team, internal experts and teaming partners, as applicable - Work with Content Management Specialist to augment, enhance and improve library / knowledge management solution of reusable graphics, components, templates, and processes to reduce response time and improve quality on future bids - Writing: Write persuasively, including executive summaries and other critical components of deliverables such as Past Performance volumes, Key Personnel resumes, single-voice editing, and capturing actions from meetings with proposal team members, capture teams, and understanding of the business’s value proposition - Provide writing guidance to authors, volume leads, and capture coordinators to ensure proposals are clear and concise - Strong aptitude for improving process, organization, flow, readability, completeness, and clarity of engineering quality proposals We need to keep them as list items. Some are long sentences; we can keep as is. Qualifications: from "Your Experience." plus maybe also from earlier "The successful candidate is expected to be a high performing, self-starter..." but that's more responsibilities. We'll stick to Your Experience. List: - A Bachelor’s degree in Journalism, Communications, Marketing, Political Science, Creative Writing, or related field required - APMP certification or experience preferred - 1-3+ years experience writing winning Government and Public Sector proposals and experience/training with the Shipley Proposal process is highly preferred. - Proven ability to work across organizations with effective communication, leadership, and project management skills - Proven attention to detail - Excellent writing, grammar, and spelling ability - Excellent presentation and written/oral communication skills - Ability to work in a deadline-conscious, results-driven environment We could also include "The successful candidate is expected to be a high performing, self-starter, proactive, multitasker who works well under pressure, and follows through on tasks." but that's more of a responsibility/skill. Might be redundant. We'll keep as part of Qualifications maybe. But to avoid duplication, we could include that under Qualifications as well. However it's already somewhat covered by responsibilities. I'd include it as a qualification: "High performing, self-starter, proactive, multitasker who works well under pressure and follows through on tasks." But the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; we should not omit. So we should include that sentence somewhere. It appears earlier in "YOUR TEAM." bullet: "The successful candidate is expected to be a high performing, self-starter, proactive, multitasker who works well under pressure, and follows through on tasks." That's a responsibility/skill. We could place it under Qualifications or Responsibilities. Since it's about candidate expectations, maybe Qualifications. We'll add it as a list item. Benefits: from WHY COHNREZNICK? and later Salary paragraph. Extract: - At CohnReznick, we’re united by a common mission to create opportunity, value, and trust for our clients, our people, and our communities. - Whether it’s working alongside your peers to solve a client challenge, or volunteering together at the local food bank, there are so many ways to find your “why” at the firm. - We believe it’s important to balance work with everyday life – and make time for enjoyment and fun. - We invest in a robust Total Rewards package that includes everything from generous PTO, a flexible work environment, expanded parental leave, extensive learning & development, and even
