Calgary, Canada KPMG Full time

Overview:
At KPMG, you’ll join a team of diverse and dedicated problem solvers, connected by a common cause: turning insight into opportunity for clients and communities around the world.

This is a great opportunity to grow your career, develop relationships, and gain experience in pursuits and proposals.

What you will do:

- Support client service teams in the development of their pursuit strategy and proposal, serving as a strategic advisor throughout the pursuit process.
- Be the central point of contact in managing the end-to-end proposal process: evaluating requirements, organizing kickoff meetings, developing timelines and accountabilities as per deadlines, undertaking gap analyses, and developing strategies to overcome them, writing and tailoring content, ensuring mandatory requirements are met, confirming the final submission meets or exceeds KPMG quality standards, and participating in the preparation of oral presentations and materials.
- Coordinate and work with Accounts, Marketing, and others as required to ensure the production and delivery of the final submission (i.e., graphics and desktop publishing, research, function and industry marketing, digital and print services, etc.).
- Complete win/loss debriefs on proposals to tailor future responses, engage and communicate with the client, and create opportunities for future work.
- Update our CRM system to support relationship and account management practices and ensure details and information are captured.

What you bring to this role:

- A passion for writing and project management with a succinct writing style (i.e., you know how to get to the point quickly and deliver information in a compelling way).
- 5+ years of experience in proposal and/or business writing.
- Excellent project management skills to manage multiple, disparate projects through to completion.
- A strong track record of working effectively within deadlines and short time frames, with the aptitude to “own the opportunity” from start to finish.
- Strong attention to detail and accuracy, analytical and critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
- Exceptional writing, editing, proofreading, and communication skills, with an emphasis on accuracy, quality, and messaging.
- Strong professionalism and a client-focused mindset, with the ability to adopt the client’s perspective and understand their needs.
- Ability to research and consolidate a wide range of technical and non-technical topics.
- Ability to communicate and collaborate effectively and proactively with a wide range of professionals at every level of the organization on a day-to-day basis.
- A flexible and agile can-do attitude.
- The ability to exercise patience and resilience in a high-stress and fast-paced environment.
- Advanced proficiency in MS Office.
- Experience in desktop publishing is an asset.
- Experience in a professional services and/or management consultancy, with a demonstrated ability to operate in a partnership environment is an asset.
