Senior Proposal Coordinator

at  Binnie

You enjoy the thrill of a deadline and pride yourself on your ability to develop nuanced and compelling proposals. You are a creative and adaptable writer, no stranger to technical jargon, with excellent attention to detail and the perfection of a forensic detective. You believe in organization and efficiency and use checklists, sticky notes, and calendars to manage your own workload.
You are a content curator; resourcefully and strategically using templates, past material, and new ideas to craft winning submissions. You have the skills to translate the syntax of science into words anyone can understand. You enjoy helping others. You are a hands-on worker, able to work collaboratively or for long periods on your own.
Binnie has an exciting opportunity for a Senior Proposal Coordinator to further solidify our high-performing Proposal Team. This full-time, permanent position requires an adaptable worker with potential for future growth. This position also offers hybrid work, encourages work-life balance, and is part of a supportive team environment.
Reporting to our Proposal Manager, you will support our team of Project Managers and play an integral role in producing high quality proposals. This role will be able to manage large, complex, and/or strategically important proposals.
You will support our business development efforts by producing high quality proposals. You will work closely with our subject matter experts—Project Managers, Engineers, Surveyors, and Landscape Architects—to write about our services and skills in a compelling way.
