We’re looking for a Proposal Specialist to support our AMER Upmarket sales organization by managing and delivering high-quality proposals and RFX responses at scale. This role will partner closely with Sales, Solutions Engineering, Marketing, Legal, and our Services Partners to help articulate HubSpot’s value to prospective customers — particularly in complex, enterprise-level opportunities.
This is a net-new role created to support increasing proposal volume as HubSpot continues to grow in the upmarket and enterprise space globally..
In this role, you’ll get to:

Partner closely with Sales, Solutions Engineering, Deal Desk, Marketing, Legal, and Partners to gather inputs and produce clear, compelling, and accurate proposal content

Translate technical, commercial, and legal inputs into customer-ready narratives tailored to each buyer’s needs

Edit, refine, and quality-check proposal responses to ensure clarity, consistency, and alignment with HubSpot’s brand and value proposition

Leverage AI tools thoughtfully to accelerate proposal creation while ensuring accuracy, fact-checking, and high-quality outputs

Contribute to the continuous improvement of proposal processes, templates, and content libraries to support scale

We are looking for someone who:

Has 1-3 years experience in a proposal, bid, RFP, pre-sales, sales support, or similar role

Comes from a tech, SaaS, or professional services background (e.g., software, consulting, legal, accounting)

Thrives in highly cross-functional environments and enjoys collaborating with multiple stakeholders

Understands the dynamics of sales teams and how to support sellers effectively during high-pressure deal cycles

Is comfortable using AI tools for drafting, research, and validation — and understands both their strengths and limitations

Has strong judgment and knows how to assess risk, accuracy, and relevance in proposal content

Is extremely strong in written communication, copy editing, and content structuring

Is comfortable working in ambiguity and can adapt quickly as deal needs evolve

Is detail-oriented and able to manage multiple proposals simultaneously without sacrificing quality

Is flexible, resourceful, and proactive in solving problems

Is passionate about helping HubSpot’s customers succeed as we move further upmarket

Even better if you have:

Experience supporting enterprise-level or upmarket sales motions

Familiarity with CRM platforms and sales tooling (e.g., HubSpot)

A background or interest in marketing, design, or content strategy
