- Strong knowledge of the federal acquisition process, capture lifecycle, and proposal management
- Deep, actionable network within USSF, especially SSC and SDA
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, proposal development experience, and commercial acumen
- Growth mindset, collaborative style, and the ability to thrive in ambiguity
