Proposal Coordinator

Nava is a consultancy and public benefit corporation working to make government services simple, effective, and accessible to all. Since 2013, federal, state, and local government agencies have trusted Nava to build transformative digital services to help people access public benefits. Meeting our mission is an opportunity to restore trust between people and public institutions. We focus on populations that are the least protected because the stakes are higher.

As a client services company, we work with government agencies to improve how people apply for benefits, navigate their health care, and more. We bill for our time, selling our expertise and problem-solving methodology to government clients. Our clients hire us to help improve their products and services so that their users and beneficiaries have a better customer experience.

These end-users—the humans who benefit from our work—are at the core of everything we do. We research beneficiaries’ needs to help our government clients better deliver on their missions, providing everyone at Nava opportunities to do meaningful, impactful work.

The Proposal Coordinator supports the Senior Proposal Managers by assisting with the coordination and execution of proposal responses. This role is vital in ensuring Nava makes effective and efficient use of billable staff time while delivering compliant, compelling, and high-quality proposals. The Proposal Coordinator will work closely with various stakeholders, including Client Solution Managers, Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), and other proposal team members to support the end-to-end proposal development process.

The Proposal Coordinator also directly supports Growth executives and directors, and administers internal programs to build capacity for the Growth leadership team. Responsibilities include partnering with individual leaders to coordinate leadership and cross-departmental meetings, internal team touchpoints, or ongoing administrative support. The incumbent proactively identifies and supports efforts to improve coordination and operations for business development activities at Nava. 

Responsibilities include designing and administering scalable processes to kick off new proposal efforts, maintaining supporting materials and knowledge bases like our language libraries, and other proposal support duties as needed. Responsibilities also include supporting Senior Proposal Managers across their range of duties as needed, including but not limited to: deconstructing procurement requirements, developing and orchestrating a schedule, and understanding the compliance architecture to assist with delivering compliant, complete and compelling responses while supporting Nava’s values: Be Active Stewards, Pursue the Root Cause, Think Long-Term, Build Together, Inclusion is Essential and Progress Takes Work.
