The opportunity

Motive is a dynamic agency and creative collective operating at the speed of culture. We’re a collective of deep thinkers, creative makers, cultural connoisseurs, and executional aces.

What you'll do

  • Opportunity Intake & Setup: Stand up, organize, and log incoming RFPs, RFIs, and proactive proposals within the Motive system upon handover from BD leadership.

  • Briefing & Timelines: Review RFP/RFI guidelines to identify key deliverables, submission requirements, and compliance criteria, translating them into actionable pursuit briefs and clear workback schedules.

  • Accountability & Deliverables: Track internal progress against established milestones, holding team members accountable to deadlines and preventing dropped balls throughout the pursuit lifecycle.

  • Submission Logistics: Manage procurement portal entries, Q&A submission windows, formatting compliance checks, and delivery mechanics so all materials are seamlessly submitted.

  • Internal Liaison: Serve as the day-to-day project manager, connecting Strategy, Creative, Production, and Account teams on live pitches under tight deadlines.

  • Resource Alignment: Work with Operations and Studio Leads to confirm project team assignments, setup Slack channels, request NBIZ codes, and schedule team check-ins.

What they're looking for

  • Status & Communication: Run pursuit kickoffs and daily syncs, flag potential bottlenecks early, and keep senior leads updated on timeline status and action items.
  • Pricing & Scope Support: Support BD, Account and Finance leadership in organizing pricing worksheets, rate cards, and budget templates based on client requirements.
  • Documentation: Help compile preliminary draft SOWs, staffing plan tables, and other administrative elements required for RFP submissions.
  • Deck Assembly & Formatting: Build, structure, and format presentation decks in Google Slides, organizing content updates and turning rough drafts into clean, consistent files.
