Description
Attain Talent is searching for a talent, dynamic Senior Capture Manager for our GovCon client. Our client provides expert consulting services in software development, digital transformation, human-centered design, data analytics and visualization, and cybersecurity.
About the Role
We are seeking a driven and experienced Senior Capture Manager to identify, qualify, and pursue federal government contract opportunities across civilian and defense agency portfolios.

The ideal candidate is a self-starter with a strong network across key federal agencies, a deep understanding of the federal procurement process, and a track record of winning competitive prime and subcontract awards. You will work closely with proposal, technical, and executive leadership to position the company for sustained growth, and will report directly to the Chief Growth Officer.
Client Requirements: applicants MUST BE US Citizens and be able to obtain Public Trust clearance

- Develop and maintain capture plans, including competitive assessments, teaming strategies, solution development, and price-to-win analysis.
- Identify and negotiate teaming agreements with partners, subcontractors, and joint venture candidates.
- Present opportunity status, win strategy, and resource requirements at pipeline reviews and gate reviews with senior leadership.
- Collaborate with technical, pricing, and proposal teams to ensure seamless capture-to- proposal transitions.
Stakeholder Engagement & Relationship Management
- Cultivate and maintain relationships with contracting officers, program managers, and government stakeholders across target agencies.
- Engage with industry partners, small business offices, and prime contractors to identify teaming and subcontracting opportunities.
- Serve as a trusted advisor to agency clients, understanding their mission needs and positioning the company’s capabilities as solutions.
Reporting & Process
- Maintain accurate and up-to-date records in Salesforce including opportunity stage, probability, and pursuit activities.
- Contribute to BD metrics reporting, forecast accuracy, and go/no-go decision frameworks.
- Support lessons learned processes after award decisions to continuously improve capture effectiveness.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Business, Political Science, Engineering, or a related field.
- 5-7+ years of federal government BD and/or capture management experience, with a demonstrated record of winning competitive awards.
- Proven success pursuing and winning federal contracts in the $5M–$100M+ range across civilian or DoD agencies.
- Strong working knowledge of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), DFARS, and federal procurement cycles.
- Experience developing capture plans, competitive assessments, teaming strategies, and price-to-win analyses.
