Elantis is hiring one federal proposal writer in India who delivers at least 1 RFI response every working day and at least 1 RFP response every week. They use AI for speed, but the final text must read as written by an experienced person and be 100% accurate.
About the role. Elantis is building a US federal practice in IT staffing, cloud security, AI solutions and AI governance. You will own the written side of that pipeline: finding the right notices, answering RFIs and Sources Sought rapid, and building compliant RFP volumes. We use AI heavily. We need a writer who directs AI, checks every claim, and rewrites the output so a Contracting Officer reads it as a confident, specific, human response.
What you will do
- Screen SAM.gov and agency forecasts daily; shortlist notices that fit our NAICS codes (541511, 541512, 541519, 541611, 561311) and set-asides.
- Deliver at least 1 RFI / Sources Sought response every working day, each tailored to the agency's stated questions.
- Deliver at least 1 RFP response per week: shred Sections L and M, build the compliance matrix, draft technical and management volumes, and track Q&A; deadlines.
- Write past performance write-ups, capability statements, resumes and key personnel narratives in federal format.
- Use AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini) with structured prompts and a controlled content library; never submit unedited AI text.
- Fact-check every number, contract reference, certification and claim against source records before submission.
- Keep a reusable boilerplate library: corporate overview, QA/QC, transition, staffing, security, AI governance.
- Flag go/no-go risks: incumbent strength, unrealistic scope, missing certifications,
clearance or teaming gaps.
- Hand over a daily status note to US leadership before end of shift.
