• Prepare and submit competitive bids and proposals for public and private sector customers.
• Provide sales reporting and market analytics to support the sales team.
• Research markets, competitors and suppliers to support growth and new product decisions.

• Paid vacation.
• Regular weekday hours, generally 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with some flexibility.
