RFP & Strategic Partnership Associate

The Opportunity: We’re seeking a proactive and detail-oriented Business Development Associate / Assistant Manager to drive viveEV’s participation in public funding and RFP opportunities across the United States. In this role, you’ll combine research, strategy, and storytelling to help viveEV win projects — from identifying new programs and building partnerships to crafting compelling proposals. You’ll work across departments and alongside external partners to turn opportunities into revenue and impact. If you’ve ever helped a team win a competitive bid or worked on a grant proposal, this is your chance to do it at scale.

What You’ll Do: Identify and track government, utility, and private RFP opportunities aligned with viveEV’s business goals. Lead coordination of proposal development — gathering inputs from sales, policy, product, and operations teams. Draft and refine clear, persuasive proposals that communicate technical capability and value. Build relationships with utilities, agencies, and site hosts to strengthen viveEV’s visibility in funding programs. Maintain organized internal systems for deadlines, submissions, and reporting. Prepare executive briefings and summaries on funding landscapes and partnership opportunities.

What You Bring: 0-2 years of experience in business development, RFP management, or public-sector partnerships, ideally in EV charging, cleantech, or energy. Excellent written and verbal communication skills to tell a clear and convincing story. Strong organization and project coordination abilities you thrive under multiple deadlines. Analytical mindset with the ability to interpret RFP requirements and structure compliant responses. Experience in government, military, or public affairs is a plus.
