Geotab RFP Manager: Proposal and Government Bid Job in Ontario

Geotab is recruiting an RFP Manager in Ontario, with Oakville, Toronto and Waterloo listed in its current Canadian openings. The current careers list identifies the position as an 18-month contract, and the employer’s Greenhouse application form is live.

Geotab publishes a hiring range of CAD 85,500 to CAD 102,000 per year. The role has a strong public-sector focus and is responsible for managing proposals, bids, quotations and other responses to prospective customers.

This job is suited to an experienced proposal professional who can manage the full RFX lifecycle while coordinating content from Sales, Marketing, Engineering, Finance, Legal, Product and Operations.

Opportunity Overview

The RFP Manager oversees the proposal process for opportunities that require structured written responses, with particular emphasis on government customers in North America.

The role combines project management and writing. It must keep contributors aligned with deadlines while ensuring technical and commercial content is accurate, persuasive and consistent.

Available Position

• Position: RFP Manager
• Employer: Geotab
• Locations: Oakville, Toronto and Waterloo, Ontario
• Employment: 18-Month Contract
• Job Reference: 5287262008
• Hiring Range: CAD 85,500-102,000 per year

Key Responsibilities

The manager delivers competitive proposals for prospective and existing customers and has a particular focus on government buyers at federal, state/provincial, local and related agency levels.

Responsibilities cover the full RFP lifecycle, including kick-off meetings, requirements analysis, response strategy, risk assessment, approvals, content development and deadline management.

The manager works with subject-matter experts to turn detailed product and technical information into clear written material and maintains a content library that can be reused and improved.

Experience Requirements

Geotab asks for five to eight years of RFP management or comparable proposal-writing, editing and coordination experience, with substantial government bid or proposal work.

Experience directly supporting a sales organization is relevant, as is maintaining a reusable proposal-content library. Applicants should be comfortable working under pressure when deadlines change or several responses run at the same time.

Tools and Communication Skills

The role uses cross-functional collaboration and proposal systems. Geotab references Salesforce, JIRA and proposal-management tools such as Loopio.

Strong writing and editing are central requirements, especially the ability to make complex technical information easy to understand without losing accuracy.

Project management and stakeholder influence matter because the RFP Manager often depends on contributors who do not report directly to the proposal team.

Salary and Contract Status

The current hiring range is CAD 85,500-102,000 annually. Because the current employer job list describes the vacancy as an 18-month contract, the CSV uses TEMPORARY employment and an 18-month duration instead of marking it permanent.

Application Status

The Greenhouse page currently displays an Apply button and application fields. Geotab states that the posting is for an existing vacancy and does not show a fixed closing date.

How to Apply

Apply through Geotab’s official Greenhouse application for job 5287262008. Tailor the resume around public-sector RFPs, proposal strategy, deadline management, technical writing and cross-functional coordination.

Tips for Applicants

Quantify proposal volume

Mention annual RFP volume, average deal size, win rate or number of concurrent proposals where appropriate.

Show government-bid experience

Identify the public-sector levels or agencies you supported and the compliance or procurement complexity involved.

Include writing examples in outcomes

Explain how you improved proposal quality, reduced response time or strengthened a content library rather than only listing writing as a skill.

Final Notes

The RFP Manager is a new 18-month Geotab contract role for this batch and is directly accepting applications through the employer’s Greenhouse system.
