🏢 About Revamp Engineering

Revamp Engineering is a mission-driven renewable energy company dedicated to preserving the planet for future generations. As a remote-first organization, they value flexibility, innovation, and impact, offering a chance to work on projects that directly combat climate change.

About This Role

This role combines strategic operations with hands-on tool implementation, owning both the proposal platform (PandaDoc) and CRM (HubSpot) to streamline business development. You'll directly enable the sales team to win more renewable energy projects, making you a critical bridge between operations and revenue.

💡 A Day in the Life

Start your day reviewing HubSpot dashboards for pipeline health and data quality, then collaborate with BD managers on live proposals, updating PandaDoc templates and ensuring compliance. Afternoons might involve training a new hire on template usage, conducting market research for a go/no-go decision, or refining reporting to track win rates and cycle times.

🎯 Who Revamp Engineering Is Looking For

  • 5+ years in BD/proposal ops or CRM admin, with at least 2 years using HubSpot and PandaDoc (or similar tools like Salesforce and Proposify) – proficiency in templates, workflows, and reporting is a must.
  • Detail-oriented and organized, capable of managing 5+ concurrent proposals while maintaining data integrity in CRM and ensuring compliance with client requirements.
  • Strong written communicator who can craft compelling proposal content and train others on template usage; experience in renewable energy or engineering is a plus but not required.
  • Analytical mindset for market research and go/no-go decisions, using data to prioritize opportunities and improve win rates.

📝 Tips for Applying to Revamp Engineering

1

In your resume, highlight specific metrics from past CRM or proposal platform implementations (e.g., 'Reduced proposal creation time by 30% through template standardization in PandaDoc').

2

Tailor your cover letter to mention your experience with both HubSpot and PandaDoc, and explain how you've used them to drive efficiency in a remote or distributed team.

3

Showcase your ability to manage multiple deadlines by including a brief example of a time you successfully coordinated a complex bid with cross-functional stakeholders.

4

Research Revamp Engineering's renewable energy projects (e.g., solar, wind, storage) and reference how your operational support could accelerate their mission.

5

If you lack direct PandaDoc experience, emphasize your ability to quickly learn new tools and provide examples of implementing similar platforms (e.g., Salesforce, Proposify, Qvidian).

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Express passion for renewable energy and how your work in BD operations can directly contribute to combating climate change.', "Detail your hands-on experience administering HubSpot, including pipeline management, reporting, and data integrity – be specific about features you've used.", 'Describe your experience implementing or optimizing a proposal platform like PandaDoc, focusing on template creation, asset management, and user adoption.', 'Highlight your organizational skills with an example of managing multiple bids simultaneously, ensuring compliance and timely submissions.']

🔍 Research Before Applying

To stand out, make sure you've researched:

  • Review Revamp Engineering's website and recent news to understand their specific renewable energy focus (e.g., utility-scale solar, community wind, storage) and current project portfolio.
  • Check their LinkedIn and Glassdoor pages for employee reviews and insights into company culture, remote work policies, and team dynamics.
  • Look up any case studies or success stories they've published to see how they position their projects and what metrics they emphasize.
  • Research common proposal platforms and CRMs in the renewable energy industry to understand the competitive landscape and tools Revamp might use beyond HubSpot and PandaDoc.

💬 Prepare for These Interview Topics

Based on this role, you may be asked about:

1 Walk me through how you would set up a new proposal template in PandaDoc from scratch, including reusable content blocks and approval workflows.
2 How do you ensure data integrity in HubSpot when sales reps are entering data inconsistently? Give a real example of a process you implemented.
3 Describe a time you had to prioritize multiple bid opportunities with tight deadlines. How did you decide which to pursue (go/no-go)?
4 If you noticed a decline in proposal win rates, what steps would you take to diagnose and improve the situation?
5 How would you train a team of engineers and BD reps to use PandaDoc templates effectively, especially those resistant to new tools?

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't submit a generic application – avoid vague statements like 'I love renewable energy' without tying it to specific skills or experience relevant to BD ops.
  • Don't overlook the importance of data integrity; failing to mention CRM hygiene or reporting in your application suggests you may not prioritize this core responsibility.
  • Don't apply without demonstrating familiarity with PandaDoc or a similar proposal tool – even a brief mention of experience with template libraries or e-signatures is better than nothing.
