Deskripsi Pekerjaan
RR Donnelley (RRD) is a global leader in multichannel business communications, marketing, and supply chain solutions. We partner with clients to create, manage, produce, and execute mission-critical communications across a wide array of channels. We are seeking a seasoned and highly motivated Associate Manager for Proposal Writing to join our dynamic Metro Manila team in a hybrid work arrangement.
At RRD, our Proposal Development team is the engine that powers our business growth. We are looking for a leader who can elevate our proposals from simple responses to compelling business narratives that win clients. This role is perfect for someone who thrives on the intersection of strategy, creativity, and operations. You will not just manage documents; you will manage relationships, timelines, and strategic direction.
Your Key Responsibilities:
As the Associate Manager, you will serve as the strategic and operational anchor for the proposal development process. You will be the indispensable bridge between client stakeholders and our world-class operations, creative, and production teams. Your primary mission is to interpret client requirements deeply, strategize winning approaches, and manage the full lifecycle of proposal generation - from kick-off calls and content development to final review and submission.
Your Impact:
You will manage high-stakes client relationships, participate actively in complex negotiations, and provide clear, consistent feedback to internal teams to ensure alignment and quality. You will be responsible for mentoring a team of proposal writers and coordinators, establishing best-practice workflows, and driving continuous improvement in our proposal quality and turnaround time. This role requires a leader who can synthesize disparate information into a cohesive, persuasive, and compliant proposal that aligns with RRD's capabilities and the client's strategic goals.
Why Join RRD?
This is a high-visibility role with a direct impact on our business growth. Every winning proposal you guide will contribute directly to the company's bottom line and market reputation. You will work in a collaborative, innovative, and supportive environment. The hybrid work model provides flexibility, allowing you to balance focused remote work with valuable in-person collaboration at our Metro Manila office. If you are a strategic thinker, an exceptional writer, and a collaborative leader, we invite you to apply and become a key driver of our success. Join RRD and help us write the next chapter of our story - one winning proposal at a time.
