About the Role

As an Associate Proposal Developer at IQVIA, you will support the Global Sales Team throughout the RFP process. The position involves reviewing client requirements, coordinating with internal stakeholders, preparing proposal content and budgets, performing quality checks, and supporting timely proposal delivery.

• Review and analyze Requests for Proposal (RFPs) received from the Global Sales Team.
• Coordinate and facilitate internal meetings according to RFP requirements.
• Establish proposal milestones and communicate timelines to relevant stakeholders.
• Prepare proposal text, budgets, rebids and associated documents using IQVIA-defined tools and processes.
• Collect and incorporate inputs received from internal stakeholders.

• Perform quality-control edits on proposal documents.
• Support final document preparation and distribution to customers and internal departments.
• Ensure proposal development follows IQVIA procedures and quality requirements.

• Knowledge of the CRO industry is desirable.
• Ability to understand RFPs and clinical protocols after appropriate training.

Life Science qualifications may potentially include degrees from pharmacy, biotechnology, microbiology, biochemistry and other relevant life-science disciplines, subject to IQVIA’s screening criteria.

Skills Required

Candidates should possess advanced proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint along with strong analytical and communication abilities.

The role requires excellent organization and multitasking skills, the ability to work under proposal deadlines, proactive stakeholder communication, independent working capabilities, and the ability to operate effectively in a virtual environment.

Candidates should also be comfortable establishing professional working relationships with coworkers, managers and other stakeholders.

The official job description does not specify a detailed benefits package. However, the role provides an opportunity to:

• Gain experience in proposal development within the CRO industry.
• Work with IQVIA’s Global Sales Team and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Develop practical knowledge of RFP and proposal-management processes.
