Acumen Agency is a full-spectrum business services and professional services firm serving small and medium-sized businesses, large enterprises, governments, charities, and NGOs.

Our services span areas including:

As we expand, government contracting will become an increasingly important part of our business development strategy.

The Opportunity

This position starts as a performance-based role with clear objectives and measurable results.

Your primary responsibility will be to help Acumen Agency identify and pursue government contracting opportunities and develop strong, professional responses to RFPs, RFQs, RFSQs, tenders, and other government procurement opportunities.

Compensation is tied directly to performance and results. Strong performers will have opportunities to increase their earnings and potentially transition into salary-based positions as soon as possible as the company grows.

We are looking for people who are motivated by results and want the opportunity to learn, earn, and grow with a startup.

What You'll Do

Responsibilities may include:

• Research government procurement portals and identify relevant contracting opportunities.
• Monitor RFPs, RFQs, RFSQs, tenders, and other procurement opportunities.
• Review solicitation documents and understand requirements, specifications, evaluation criteria, and submission deadlines.
• Determine whether opportunities are suitable for Acumen Agency to pursue.
• Prepare professional and persuasive proposal responses.
• Draft executive summaries, technical responses, capability statements, methodologies, and other proposal sections.
• Coordinate with internal team members to collect information required for proposals.
• Research government agencies, departments, programs, and contracting requirements.
• Ensure proposals are complete, accurate, professional, and submitted according to requirements.
• Track proposal deadlines and maintain an organized opportunity pipeline.
• Assist with pricing, scopes of work, schedules, and other proposal documentation.
• Research competitors and relevant market information.
• Maintain proposal templates, documentation, and internal resources.
• Follow up on submitted proposals and track outcomes.
• Help improve Acumen Agency's proposal-development process as the company scales.

More Than Just Proposal Writing

We are looking for people who can think beyond simply writing documents.

• Government business development.
• Client research and lead generation.
• Contract opportunity identification.
• Sales and business development.
• Market research.
• Client communications.
• Strategic partnerships.
• Account management.
• Business consulting.

The ability to identify an opportunity, understand what the customer needs, and help the company win the contract is highly valuable.

Performance-Based Compensation

This is a performance-based position.

Acumen Agency is currently in a unique stage of growth. Rather than simply paying for hours worked, we want to reward people who produce results and create value for the company.

Performance may be evaluated based on factors such as:

• Quality and completeness of proposals.
• Number of qualified opportunities identified.
• Proposals successfully submitted.
• Proposal quality and competitiveness.
• Contracts awarded.
• Revenue generated.
• Overall contribution to business development.

Compensation and performance bonuses are directly tied to results.

As the company grows and revenue becomes more predictable, our goal is to transition strong-performing team members into permanent salaried positions as soon as possible.

If you have strong writing ability, research skills, business knowledge, government contracting experience, attention to detail, and the ability to produce results, we encourage you to apply.

Relevant experience can be more important than having a specific degree.

We are particularly interested in people who can learn quickly, follow requirements carefully, write professionally, and deliver results.
