Federal Capture Associate

Outtake exists to empower and facilitate trust for a digital-first world. Today, impersonation, fraud, AI-driven scams, and identity abuse spread faster than any security team can respond to. So we built something different: an agentic AI platform that proactively detects, monitors and takes down impersonators and automates protection in hours, not weeks.

Built by ex-Palantir, ex-CTO/founders, and ex-Notion engineers, Outtake is designed for clarity, autonomy, and velocity. Our goal is ambitious: become the trust layer of the modern internet. And we intend to do it with a lean, dense, exceptionally talented team.

• Lead capture activities and proposal development for new and recompete opportunities across the federal market.

• Partner with cross-functional teams (GTM, Engineering, AI, Cybersecurity) to craft winning proposal strategies and technical narratives.

• Develop compliant, persuasive responses to RFPs, RFIs, and RFQs focused on artificial intelligence and cybersecurity.

• Create and manage proposal schedules, outlines, templates, compliance matrices, and review processes.

• Maintain and enhance proposal process documentation and boilerplate content for efficiency and consistency.

• Research industry trends, competitor strategies, and emerging government AI and cybersecurity priorities to inform capture strategies.

• Track proposal outcomes, win/loss ratios, and performance metrics to continuously refine the capture process.

• Identify synergies across opportunities to improve efficiency and elevate overall win rates.

• Collaborate on process automation and tooling improvements to streamline capture and proposal operations.
