Proposal Writer

Are You a Master of the "Winning Word"? At The Budd Group, our motto is "Great People, Great Service." But before we can deliver that world-class service, we have to win the hearts and minds of our clients. That’s where you come in. We are looking for a high-energy, detail-obsessed Proposal Writer who can take a complex operational plan and turn it into a persuasive masterpiece. You aren’t just filling out forms; you are the architect of our "Make It Happen" strategy. You’ll bridge the gap between our sales vision and the real-world solutions that keep schools, hospitals, and corporate headquarters running smoothly. The Mission (How You’ll Make an Impact): Drive the Lifecycle: You’ll own the end-to-end RFP/RFQ process with a high sense of urgency and a "refuse to lose" mentality. Be the Voice of Budd: You’ll craft compelling narratives that highlight our unique family-owned heritage combined with our professional, enterprise-scale capabilities. Collaborate with Pros: You’ll sit down with our operational Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to translate technical janitorial and landscaping solutions into value-driven stories. Design High-Impact Visuals: It’s not just about the words. You’ll build stunning PowerPoint decks and presentations that make our "Great People" shine during client pitches. Curate the Library: You’ll maintain and grow our content "arsenal," ensuring our templates and capability statements are always cutting-edge and brand-consistent. What We’re Looking For (Your "Secret Sauce"): Industry Veteran: You have 7+ years of experience specifically in the Facility Services industry (Janitorial, Landscaping, or Maintenance). You know this world inside and out. Sector Expert: You’ve successfully written winning bids for Manufacturing, Education, and Medical/Office environments. Technical Wordsmith: You have an exceptional ability to make complex business proposals clear, persuasive, and technically accurate. Deadline Warrior: You thrive under pressure and can juggle multiple high-stakes pursuits without breaking a sweat. Tech Power-User: You are a wizard in Microsoft Word and PowerPoint (Google Docs/Slides too!). If you know Salesforce or proposal automation tools, even better. Why You’ll Love Working Here: Legacy of Excellence: Work for a company that actually lives its values of "Great People, Great Service." High Visibility: This is a lead role that reports directly to Marketing and works closely with executive leadership and sales. Family Atmosphere: Experience the stability of a large regional player with the heart and culture of a family-owned business. Ready to write the next chapter of our growth?
