Your Impact

As a Senior Proposal Manager, you will lead the development of complex RFP and tender responses, proposals, and other selling documents to potential customers of Axon’s solutions. You’ll be a member of a global team that supports Axon sales worldwide, responsible for leading the proposal process from bid/no-bid decision through proposal award, including analyzing customer specifications (RFPs, RFIs, tenders, etc.) for appropriate solution type, developing response structure and contents, writing the draft response, finalizing response content, and delivering the final document to the customer. Your strengths in team leadership, business acumen, and technical and proposal writing, will be key factors in ensuring that our proposals are compelling, technically accurate, and competitively positioned.

What You’ll Do

At Axon, the Proposal Manager is viewed as the owner of the proposal development effort, engaging as early as possible in the procurement process and executing on the procurement through submission and into negotiation. This is a highly comprehensive role, requiring the application of expertise in the following areas:

  • Team Leadership: Facilitate the collaboration of up to 15 internal subject matter experts, including other members of the Proposal Team, product managers and engineers, professional services personnel, leadership, sales representatives, etc. Ensure that their expertise is leveraged in the proposal development process and reflected in the end submission to the customer.
  • Project Management: Manage deliverables and deadlines by planning, setting milestones, and coordinating all aspects of the proposal to ensure proposal compliance with customer requirements, internal review processes, and SME/leadership approval processes. Coordinate proposal printing, submission and delivery.
  • Proposal Writing: Develop expertise in Axon’s solutions, services, and business capabilities in order to communicate their unique benefits in meeting our customer’s requirements and objectives, as well as differentiate our offerings from our competition. Write compelling proposals that communicate persuasively to all types of evaluators, whether they are executives, technical program directors, or end users.
  • Stakeholder Collaboration: Communicate effectively across the organization with all contributors and other stakeholders in the sales and proposal process, from executive leadership to sales executives to product and technical experts. Ensure alignment between all stakeholders on solution, pricing, win strategy, and how each of those elements are reflected in the customer-facing deliverables.

  • Experience managing tenders in the European Union, the United Kingdom, and/or Central/South America is highly desired.
  • APMP Practitioner or higher certification is highly desired
