Sr Proposals & Contracts Manager - Public Sector, Bid Capture

The Sr. Proposals & Contracts Manager leads the end-to-end bid, and contracting lifecycle across federal, state, and local government markets for Amazon Business. This is an integrated role that owns the process from early opportunity identification and deal shaping through RFP evaluation and response development, contract negotiation and execution.

The role requires contractual expertise, regulatory knowledge, and cross-functional leadership. The successful candidate champions the adoption of automation and AI to shape and qualify opportunities, accelerate RFx responses, strengthen contractual compliance, and improve operational efficiency at scale, while managing a high volume of bids and contracts without compromising accuracy, compliance, or customer responsiveness.
