This person doesn’t just “support” proposals—they drive them. You’re organized, creative, and proactive, with the ability to push teams forward, elevate our work, and continuously improve how we deliver.
You’ll be in InDesign daily and partnering closely with project teams, marketing leadership, and executives to position Holder as the builder of choice for complex, high-stakes projects.
Key Responsibilities
  • Own the full lifecycle of RFQs, SOQs, RFPs, and interview presentations—from kickoff through submission
  • Lead proposal production in Adobe InDesign, ensuring high-quality, polished, and visually compelling deliverables
  • Drive pursuit strategy by identifying differentiators, shaping win themes, and improving how we tell our story
  • Keep teams on track—manage schedules, push deadlines, and hold contributors accountable
  • Partner with project managers and technical staff to turn complex content into clear, compelling messaging
  • Continuously improve templates, processes, and workflows to help the team work smarter and faster
  • Maintain and evolve proposal resources (resumes, project sheets, content libraries, databases)
What We’re Looking For
  • Expert-level proficiency in Adobe InDesign (this role is hands-on, daily production)
  • 4+ years of proposal/marketing experience in the AEC industry
  • Strong writing, editing, and storytelling skills
  • Proven ability to manage multiple pursuits in a deadline-driven environment
  • Highly organized, proactive, and comfortable taking ownership without waiting for direction
  • A team-first mindset with the confidence to push for better quality, better process, and better outcomes
