    · Develop additional deliverables following proposal submission, as needed (Workshops, YellowPads, Final Presentations, Best and Final Offers, etc.)

    · Schedule in-person dry runs and secure meeting spaces for the pitch team when traveling, coordinating with local counterparts, as necessary

    · Conduct light research and interview team members across the organization to elicit the information required for new collateral

    · Conduct knowledge management by maintaining a library of newly developed content and ensuring that content is routinely updated and easily accessible for future use
