About Jodie N. Mader

As an Advanced Associate/Proposals Analyst in Pearson\'s School Assessments/Bid Management Department, I am instrumental in supporting proposals across district, state, and federal jurisdictions. I leverage advanced skills in strategic proposal development, data analysis, and project management to deliver winning bids. My responsibilities support analysts in staffing, project management of proposals, and maintaining comprehensive contractual archives to ensure department efficiency. I previously served as a proposal writer, reviewing boilerplate and copyediting proposals as needed.In early 2025, I took on the part-time role of Interim Proposals Coordinator for Pearson, ensuring continuity and efficiency across the bid management lifecycle. My key contribution was the comprehensive, initial review and analysis of all high-stakes incoming RFPs, RFIs, and RFQs, which dictated the strategic direction and resource allocation for subsequent proposal development.As an active Freelance Writer and Editorial Professional, I leverage a broad skillset tailored to diverse client needs-Editorial Assistant: Managing quality and adherence to style for literary/scholarly publications (Pine Mountain Sand & Gravel and Tributaria)-On-Demand Editor: Providing timely, high-accuracy proofreading and editing for corporate clients through agencies like Creative Circle.I am a seasoned Educational Leader with extensive, multi-year experience across both Higher Education and K-12 sectors, such as with teaching, faculty development, administration, office management, writing/editing, event planning, advising, and mentoring. I also have leadership, faculty development, and copywriting skills gleaned while in academia (serving as Department Chair, Faculty Development Director, and Faculty Athletic Representative). I also managed a department of 6 faculty/staff.As a Program Manager at the University of Cincinnati\'s Faculty Enrichment Center, I developed comprehensive expertise in operational leadership and faculty engagement. My core contributions included Program Development & Management. I successfully organized and facilitated a diverse portfolio of programs (both online and in-person), ensuring high-quality faculty enrichment opportunities. I played a key role in coordinating the University\'s first in-person, post-COVID faculty awards ceremony. I also honed my skills in persuasive copywriting (for social media, newsletters, and flyers), community engagement, and advanced office management. Contact me at: M••••••••@gmail.com | 51••••••76
