Capture Manager

Easy Dynamics designs, builds, and secures the systems that protect our people, places, and way of life. We are a trusted advisor delivering best-in-class technology solutions in Digital Identity, Cybersecurity, and Risk Management. Our teams combine engineering excellence with a disciplined, forward-leaning approach to solve our clients' hardest technical challenges. We bring our “East Coast address, West Coast attitude” to everything we do, combining mission focus with our innovative, collaborative, and flexible culture that puts people first. Our subject matter experts work at the cutting edge of cybersecurity and technology, delivering identity management, zero trust, cloud, and security automation solutions that directly impact critical government missions. We believe the best work happens when talented people have the freedom and support to do what they do best.

We're looking for a Capture Manager to own the strategy, positioning, and competitive shaping of our pursuits from qualification through submission and award. This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives on figuring out how we win, and who is also comfortable picking up a pen to help draft proposal content when a pursuit needs an extra set of hands.

We're a small, lean business, and we don't run a traditional, Shipley-defined capture organization with rigid lane boundaries between capture and proposal roles. Instead, your specific responsibilities will be assigned per pursuit based on team capacity and what that opportunity needs. On one pursuit you might be the strategy owner directing a separate Management Volume writer; on the next, you might be the Management Volume or Past Performance writer yourself while someone else owns the win strategy; on another, you might be brought in solely as a reviewer to pressure-test win themes and technical soundness. Each pursuit's kickoff will name your specific role, and expectations will be set explicitly rather than assumed.

The activities below span the full range of what this role covers across a fiscal year. Which of these you're doing on any given pursuit depends on your assignment for that pursuit (see above), not a fixed job lane.

• Take ownership of the pursuit at BD-to-Capture handoff and maintain the Capture Deck as the central strategy artifact,
• Brief Senior leadership at deal reviews on opportunity status and bid/no bid decisions
• Coordinate subcontractor and teaming partner engagement for the pursuit (scope splits, past performance contributions, staffing)
• Develop price-to-win in coordination with the Pricing Lead and Executive Team
• Lead customer intelligence gathering and pursuit question strategy
• Coach technical teams through win theme development and validate that the capture/win strategy is fully set before Proposal Development begins
• Lead pre-RFP strategy validation (“Blue Team”) sessions and build initial storyboard templates

• 8+ years of experience in capture management, business development, or proposal management within the federal contracting environment
• Demonstrated ability to build and defend a win strategy, not just manage a schedule
• Working proficiency in proposal writing, specifically Management Volume and Past Performance content;
• Comfort operating across the full pursuit lifecycle, from qualification through post-award transition
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, working closely with Business Development, Proposal Management, Solution Architects, Contracts, Pricing, and Delivery
• Ability to synthesize input from multiple stakeholders into a coherent, compelling narrative under deadline pressure
• Project management experience
• Comfortable using or learning CRM / pursuit-tracking tools (e.g., NextStage, GovWin, SAM.gov research)
• Experience wearing both capture and proposal-writing hats on smaller pursuits or in a lean BD organization
• Familiarity with AI-assisted document writing and proposal prompting
• Prior experience with Basis of Estimate (BOE) inputs or cost-volume coordination
• Someone who comes to the table with a point of view, not just looking to facilitate a process
• An individual looking for a role that will require hard work to deliver high impact and high reward

Salary range: $160,000 - $190,000/year
