We’re looking for a proposal writer who can turn complex government requirements and technical input into clear, compliant, persuasive proposals. You’ll work closely with client teams and subject matter experts across IT, software, cybersecurity and engineering.
What you’ll do
- Analyze federal, state and local RFPs and RFQs, including the SOW or PWS.
- Develop compliance matrices, annotated outlines and writing plans that map requirements to the right response sections.
- Interview technical experts, draw out the information needed, and draft technical, management, past performance and résumé sections.
- Identify missing information and compliance risks early, and work with the team to resolve them.
- Edit technical contributions into explicit, concise language without changing their meaning.
- Format and prepare submission-ready documents in Microsoft Word, often while supporting multiple bids with overlapping deadlines.
What you bring
- At least 4 years of experience writing US government proposals, including substantial work in IT, software, cybersecurity or engineering.
- Experience interpreting federal solicitation requirements and state and local RFPs, building compliance matrices and interviewing subject matter experts.
- Strong Microsoft Word skills, including formatting long, structured documents.
- Clear, precise writing and editing skills, with a track record of meeting firm deadlines.
- Availability during US business hours, particularly Eastern Time, and sound judgment when handling confidential client information.
Nice to have

- Experience with SharePoint, Adobe Acrobat, IDIQ contracts or task orders.
- Comfort using AI drafting tools thoughtfully, with human review and verification of all work.
