Julie Hillery
@juliehillery
I manage accurate proposal responses, databases, timelines, and cross-functional coordination.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I’ve led end-to-end proposal development for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois through Once Upon an RFP, managing proposal reviews, project plans, database research, response writing, and final submissions. I coordinate subject matter experts, keep timelines on track, and compile precise, completed responses.
Across United, ConnectiCare, and earlier administrative roles, I’ve supported sales and marketing teams with strategic proposals, Access databases, reporting, PowerPoint presentations, budget tracking, and detailed office coordination. I’m now seeking a remote data entry role where I can bring my organizational discipline, database experience, and commitment to accuracy to operational work.
