Remote
Posted on Saturday, October 8, 2022
<div> <b style="font-size:18px;">About Nava</b> </div><div>Nava is a consultancy and public benefit corporation working to make government services simple, effective, and accessible to all. Since 2013, federal, state, and local government agencies have trusted Nava to build transformative digital services to help people access public benefits. Meeting our mission is an opportunity to restore trust between people and public institutions. We focus on populations that are the least protected because the stakes are higher.</div><div> <br> <div>As a client services company, we work with government agencies to improve how people apply for benefits, navigate their health care, and more. We bill for our time, selling our expertise and problem-solving methodology to government clients. Our clients hire us to help improve their products and services so that their users and beneficiaries have a better customer experience.</div> <div> <br> <div>These end-users—the humans who benefit from our work—are at the core of everything we do. We research beneficiaries’ needs to help our government clients better deliver on their missions, providing everyone at Nava opportunities to do meaningful, impactful work. </div> <div> <br> <div>Nava is at the forefront of reimagining how our government serves its people. We’re looking for a Senior Capture Manager who understands State government programmatic goals, unmet needs, and develops compelling win themes and price-to-win solutions resulting in winning proposals.</div> <div></div> <div>Nava is a public benefit corporation - we exist solely to positively transform how millions of people experience government by building simple, effective, and accessible digital services. We do this by integrating agile, human-centered development methodologies into how government technology is built. We don’t sell off-the-shelf products - we work collaboratively and in partnership with government agencies to solve complex policy challenges and build digital services, including software with modern development practices. Our services help millions of people across the country access and manage critical benefits like unemployment insurance; paid family and medical leave; and health, food, and economic assistance. </div> <div> <br> <div> <b style="font-size:18px;">About this Role</b> </div> <div>Working in the business development team, you help build the State-component of our work. Day-to-day you craft and execute successful strategies to modernize government services that support vulnerable populations by building a deep understanding of Nava's clients, the competitive and partner landscape, and each unique procurement. You are responsible for identifying and nurturing client/partner relationships to build agency, program, client and opportunity level-insight in support of Nava's mission and strategic goals. You engage Nava subject matter experts and teaming partners to understand the program landscape, develop/validate client insight and deliver compelling, compliant, and competitive proposals.</div> <div> <br> <div></div> <div> <b style="font-size:18px;">Opportunities and Challenges</b> </div> <div>Nava provides the opportunity to do meaningful, impactful, mission-oriented work. As a public benefit corporation, the people who work at Nava have a fiduciary duty to our stated mission: to improve the accessibility, effectiveness, and simplicity of government services. When identifying and pursuing opportunities we must ensure that we are well suited to win and deliver successfully, but also evaluate the work against our mission and values. This is a high bar, but it's why we're here, and it informs what we do and how we operate across all phases of the business.</div> <div></div> <div>You will be operating within the government ecosystem, which means collaborating dynamically with other government contractors and civil servants. Working with people outside of your company means you'll likely encounter different working styles, cultural norms, and be responsible for maintaining order and focus without authority. At the same time, working as part of a larger team allows us to deliver on projects of larger scale and complexity.</div> <div></div> <div>The government contracting ecosystem is a compliance-driven multi-stakeholder environment - which adds significant complexity to our work, particularly when compared to the operating environments for companies of our size in the private sector. Successful members of our team understand how to be innovative within this environment when crafting solutions and proposal responses. Finding and recommending ways to improve the way government digital services are procured and built is one of the highest-leverage ways we help fulfill our mission.</div> <div></div> <div> <b style="font-size:18px;">Who we’re looking for</b> </div> <div>You are an experienced business development professional who can leverage existing relationships and build new relationships to identify high-leverage opportunities and understand the needs of our customers. You are able to develop and build on client insight to creatively apply Nava’s capabilities and engage our subject matter experts to solve complex problems and work through constraints to propose tailored and compelling solutions.</div> <div></div> <div>You’re a strategic thinker and actor, detail-oriented and able to organize and manage processes, responsibilities, and team operations. You structure client engagement strategies, proposals, documents, information, as well as decision support tooling and infrastructure in a clear and organized way. On each opportunity you empower subject matter experts with varying degrees of familiarity with State procurement by building shared context on the opportunity, leading through clear structure and processes and helping each team member apply their expertise to contribute to a cohesive solution. You’re at home in rapidly evolving, ambiguous situations and can chart a course forward through uncertainty.</div> <div></div> <div>Most of all, you’re excited about designing and/or refining our strategy and processes to help us achieve our mission, not just executing a standard industry playbook. You’re able to see the interactions between various threads of action, and work through the tradeoffs. You can tailor existing processes or create new structures to get the most out of a talented and passionate team. You are motivated by making progress against our company mission, and are excited to engage our current and potential clients and work with subject matter experts to develop solutions and proposals in support of new opportunities.</div> <div> <br> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>
