- Lead post-bid coordination, including follow-up questions, best and final offers (BAFOs), and pricing updates, with Marketing support for revised deliverables.
- Improve pursuit workflows and content alongside Marketing and leadership, including AI-assisted drafting for technical lead review as new tools are introduced.
Requirements
