Director Capture Management

Responsibilities: Develop and maintain rigorous capture plans for each assigned pursuit: customer analysis, competitive landscape, win themes, discriminators, teaming strategy, pricing posture, and risk mitigation. Lead and facilitate structured opportunity reviews — bid/no-bid, Black Hat, solution reviews — and present findings and recommendations to the CGO and executive leadership. Drive competitive intelligence across assigned pursuits: ghost strategies, incumbent vulnerability assessments, partner and competitor move anticipation, and Black Hat preparation. Shape procurements through sustained defense/and or civilian agency engagement — RFI responses, draft RFP comments, industry day participation, and direct relationships with program offices, contracting officers, and end users. Maintain current, actionable opportunity intelligence in Tek Synap's pipeline management system, ensuring forecast accuracy and data integrity across assigned pursuits. Customer & Partner Engagement Build and sustain executive-level relationships with Defense/Civilian agency customers — developing intelligence on mission priorities, budget cycles, and acquisition timelines well ahead of public solicitation. Identify, evaluate, and negotiate high-stakes teaming arrangements, assessing partners for capability fit, past performance relevance, agency intimacy, and socioeconomic attributes that strengthen competitive position. Represent Tek Synap at senior levels in Defense/Civilian engagements, industry days, and Gov Con forums — advancing customer relationships and reinforcing Tek Synap's brand, capabilities, and strategic positioning. Develop and manage a portfolio of strategic teaming partners; ensure Tek Synap is positioned as a preferred prime or sub on key vehicles and pursuits ahead of solicitation. Proposal Integration & Quality Own the capture-to-proposal transition for all assigned pursuits, ensuring the proposal team inherits a complete strategy package: win themes, solution direction, teaming structure, pricing posture, and validated competitive intelligence. Drive continuity of capture strategy through the proposal lifecycle — contributing to executive summaries, win theme development, and key volume narrative — and lead or actively support color team reviews (Pink, Red, Gold) through final submission. Partner with the proposal manager and solutions architecture function to ensure customer insights translate into compelling, evaluator-focused proposals that are technically credible and competitively differentiated. Pipeline Strategy & Growth Operations Collaborate with the CGO and BD leadership to inform Tek Synap's pursuit strategy: pipeline prioritization, resource allocation, bid/no-bid posture, and Pwin thresholds that govern capture investment decisions. Maintain pipeline health and forecast integrity across all capture-stage opportunities, providing the CGO with accurate, timely visibility into competitive positioning and projected win rates. Contribute to continuous improvement of Tek Synap's capture function: methodology, tools, templates, lessons-learned processes, and performance metrics that raise win rates over time. Contribute to board- and executive-level growth reporting, translating capture activity and pipeline health into strategic business intelligence for senior leadership.
