Bring your skills and passion to our ITility team. ITility is seeking a Proposal Manager to be a part of the Planning and Enhancement Directorate, BD.

ITility is seeking a Proposal Manager to serve as a strategic "force multiplier" in our Planning and Enhancement Directorate. This is a dynamic, hybrid role where you will wear three hats: Lead on small-to-mid-sized bids, Strategic Partner on large Enterprise pursuits, and Content Developer. If you are a builder who enjoys the full spectrum of the win lifecycle—from market intelligence to final production—this is the role for you..

At ITility, we help our customers command the future by thinking beyond perceived limits to create new, unexpected ways to protect and defend our nation. We inspire and empower people to create significant solutions that secure what matters to our customers and communities, here and around the globe.
