About Rob Steeves

I've spent a decade inside the world you're selling into.

Series B/C SaaS. GovTech, HealthTech, Public Safety. Compliance-heavy buyers. A bid team that's usually one person and an RFP Tool collecting dust. I'm not learning your problem on your dime — I've lived it.

Why CROs Hire Me

Why I'm the Right Fit
to Manage your Bid Desk Pipeline.

No discovery theater. No 'let's hop on a call to understand your needs.' I've lived the RFP grind from the inside—so I can scope your work and give you a real number upfront.

1
Your market is my market.
Ten-plus years inside Series B/C SaaS in GovTech, HealthTech, and Public Safety. I already know what FedRAMP, StateRAMP, CJIS, HIPAA, and SOC 2 look like on a 200-question security questionnaire — because I've answered them.
2
Your resource reality is my native habitat.
I built bid functions where the team was one person, the budget was zero, and the deadline was Thursday. Your big-enterprise competitors get a 12-person proposal shop. You don't. Neither did I — and we still won.
3
The hybrid role you need at one set cost.
A dedicated Proposal FTE and Deal Desk Manager cost $26,000+ a month fully loaded. You probably can not justify hiring both — but you can pick the functions of each that solve your most urgent gap. Built for GovTech, HealthTech, and Public Safety teams.
4
APMP Credentialed.
Certified Foundation under APMP — the industry leading credential in the proposal management. Providing best practices tailored around your resources.
My Operating Belief

Why I built R. Steeves Consulting.

"

For years I was the person fixing this inside RevOps—formatting proposals for an Ariba portal, catching the missed deadlines, setting up the security questionnaires nobody had time to do right. I know the work because I did the work. When a mid-market company goes looking for help, the market offers two halves and no whole: a general proposal specialist doesn't know compliance—FedRAMP, SOC 2, the questionnaires that sink deals—and a Deal Desk or RevOps hire doesn't know the proposal craft. The job needs both, and it rarely needs a full-time salary. Without that, the problem festers until it's on fire: a rep panicking 30 minutes from deadline, the leader pulled onto the call, a winnable deal now at risk. They don't need a headcount. They need both skill sets, on demand, only when the deal calls for it. That's the business I built.
