- Coordinate RFP follow up and preparation for presentations to districts and state education agencies that have invited us to demonstrate our products after evaluating our proposals
- Develop a scalable process and knowledge management system with others on the RFP team so that Panorama can respond to RFPs with increasing speed, including creating, updating and storing documentation and collateral (e.g., updating our RFP content library)
- Support Outreach team with content development for sales collateral, as needed
- Manage the completion of compliance forms and vendor questionnaires
Requirements
