We are seeking a dynamic and experienced Business Development (BD) and Proposal Solutions Architect to join our team. This individual will play a crucial role in driving the success of our DoD and Federal customer accounts. Please Note: This is not a traditional proposal manager or an IT architect role.

Key Responsibilities:

• Architect and recommend innovative solutions that embody a clear technical vision for ensuring customer mission success.
• Partner with Accounts and customer stakeholders to identify opportunities, mature opportunity definitions, and capture solution objectives.
• Lead the development of concepts of operations, requirements definitions, analysis and engineering, system architecture, system analysis and design, interfaces, and data architectures.
• Support technical reviews and readiness assessments of solutions in both formal and informal settings.
• Perform detailed technical analysis to identify risks, requirements, and opportunities with solution implementations.
• Ensure integration of security and compliance throughout the solution development lifecycle.
• Coordinate with engineering leads and/or Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to develop and deliver solutions during the proposal phase and contract execution.
• Understand and apply SHR's Shipley-based proposal development process and Business Development process effectively.
• Lead the creation of project schedules, Work Breakdown Structures, and Risk & Quality Management plans, ensuring coherence across technical, management, and pricing narratives.
• Coordinate the development of Basis of Estimates (BOEs)/Bills of Materials (BOMs) in partnership with the Pricing Lead, integrating technical and cost volumes effectively.
• Create compelling artifacts to present solution elements cohesively throughout the capture process, including architectural models, process diagrams, and staffing plans.
• Maintain and enhance proposal library content to include Frameworks, Solutions and Management Content.
• Lead the solution design process, ensuring alignment with customer requirements, architectural direction, and evaluation criteria.
• Actively participate in initiatives aimed at improving SHR's operational efficiency and effectiveness.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, Engineering, or Information Security (or equivalent) with 15+ years of related experience; Master's degree and 11+ years of experience, or an additional 4 years of experience in lieu of a Bachelor's degree.
