  • 2. Lead & Opportunity Tracking: Partner with business development and marketing teams to track new opportunities, maintain pipeline visibility, and support capture planning.
  • 3. Sales Enablement: Work with marketing team members to develop and maintain sales tools, templates, and qualifications materials to support service line growth and client engagement.
  • 4. Interview & Presentation Support: Coordinate and prepare teams for client presentations and interviews, including coaching, messaging, and collateral development.
  • 5. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with partners, service line leaders, and marketing colleagues to align proposals and sales materials with firm strategy and brand.
  • 6. Process & Reporting: Establish proposal best practices, maintain a content library, track win/loss outcomes, and deliver regular reporting on proposal activity and results.
