Position Description
Federal Hearings and Appeals Services (FHAS) is seeking a high-performing Senior Business Development Analyst to serve as a strategic growth enabler across our federal and state government markets. This role is not administrative in nature — it is analytical, insight-driven, and directly tied to executive growth decision-making.
The Senior Business Development Analyst transforms data into actionable intelligence that informs capture strategy, investment prioritization, and pipeline discipline. This position plays a critical role in strengthening Probability of Win (PWIN), improving factored pipeline accuracy, shaping opportunities early, and reinforcing FHAS’s structural right-to-win in targeted markets.
The ideal candidate combines deep federal procurement research expertise with strong analytical thinking, executive-level communication skills, and a disciplined approach to pipeline hygiene and executive-level reporting. This individual must be able to move beyond data collection to deliver strategic insights that support Total Contract Value (TCV) growth and forecast reliability.
Key Responsibilities

- Support development and ongoing maintenance of the qualified pipeline across federal and state markets
- Ensure data integrity and disciplined opportunity tracking within the BD CRM
- Monitor opportunity progression from early shaping through proposal submission

- Develop dashboards and executive summaries that improve forecast visibility and board-level reporting
Capture & Pursuit Support

- Assist in development of capture plans, competitive assessments, and partner analysis
- Research and compile RFIs, historical RFPs, Statements of Work (SOWs), and related procurement documentation

- Collaborate with capture managers, proposal teams, and leadership to shape opportunities early
Business Development Operations Support

- Coordinate BD-related meetings and document key action items
