We Can Help With

Proposal Professional Placement

We place experienced proposal professionals with our asset management partners on a long-term contract, contract-to-hire, or direct placement basis. These professionals have worked across asset classes, strategies, and fund structures—and we are strategic when matching them with the right partners.

Our professionals are well-versed in crafting new content, revising existing content, analyzing data, and working with cross-functional teams firmwide to complete RFPs, DDQs, and other related content. These professionals act as an extension of the team in contract-based cases.

We have specific professionals with deep expertise in the implementation, organization, and oversight of proposal databases—including RocketDocs/PMAPS, RFPIO, Loopio, Qvidian, and Catapult HQ/Plan Tools, which acts as a strategic partner.
