- Coordinate concurrent contributions from Sales, Solution Consulting, Finance, Legal, Product and other specialist teams.
- Set and run the project cadence, including kick-off, RFP tool setup, check-ins, reviews, packaging and close-down.
- Check structure, formatting, accuracy and clarity of each response before submission.
- Keep knowledge of OneStream's platform and competitive positioning current and catch outdated product information.
- Spot gaps and help close them in how responses are crafted and in standards, workflows, templates, tools and content library.
- Turn lessons from completed proposals into guidance, content and examples for the team.
- Use AI tools thoughtfully across the workflow and share prompts and practices that improve quality and pace.
- Build strong relationships with the teams relied on and route requests well.

- Confidence to hold a reasoned position with Sales on quality and standards.
- A commercial view of how proposals drive revenue.
- Self-motivation and accountability, working independently and as part of a team.
- Ability to analyse complex business processes, enterprise technology and buyer requirements.
