Drive Strategic Coordination: Serve as the central point of contact for each pursuit, aligning cross-functional teams—including sales, product, clinical, legal, and operations—to create cohesive, client-focused responses.
Manage Content Quality and Consistency: Ensure proposals reflect a unified voice, consistent messaging, and compelling narratives that clearly articulate Carelon’s differentiators and value proposition.
Elevate Proposal Design: Develop and implement visual and content strategies that enhance readability, impact, and brand alignment across proposals, Q&A responses, and presentations.
Integrate Visual Storytelling: Leverage design software and brand templates to produce visually engaging PowerPoint decks, graphics, and data visualizations that bring Carelon’s story to life.
Champion Process Excellence: Maintain proposal standards, manage timelines, and ensure all submissions comply with internal review processes, legal/compliance guidelines, and brand requirements.
Collaborate to Win: Partner with sales and business leaders to understand client needs, translate solutions into compelling content, and deliver materials that strengthen Carelon’s competitive position.
Continuously Improve: Identify opportunities to streamline proposal operations, enhance content libraries, and advance best practices in proposal management and design.

Minimum requirements:

Requires a BA/BS degree in a related field and a minimum of 7 years of related experience including at least 5 years of experience in the health insurance industry; or any combination of education and experience, which would provide an equivalent background.
