Proposal Specialist

hatch I.T. is partnering with a boutique management consulting firm that helps organizations design and run better operating models — and whose federal and defense practice is now the company's #1 growth priority. See details below: About the Role We're looking for a Consulting Portfolio Manager/Proposal Specialist to sit at the center of that business.

This is a high-visibility, operationally central role. You'll report to the Product Owner of the firm's US Consulting business and work closely with the COO, with direct exposure to portfolio economics, delivery performance, and growth strategy across a multi-line consulting practice (commercial + federal/defense). The federal and defense market is this firm's single largest strategic opportunity.

We need someone who understands how government agencies procure and structure consulting engagements, moves with urgency, and can help build the operational infrastructure to win and deliver on that opportunity at scale. This is a hybrid role based in the Washington, DC area, requiring 3-4 days/week in person (occasionally more, depending on team and client needs).

You'll be embedded in the DC market alongside federal clients and the broader government contracting ecosystem.
