About the Role
We’re a growing small business supporting federal clients across DOW, DHS, and Federal Health, and proposals are central to how we compete and win. We’re looking for a Proposal Writer who thrives in a high-volume, fast-moving environment and enjoys crafting compelling stories that differentiate us from larger, more rigid competitors.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys variety. You will author and collaborate on RFIs, white papers, capability overviews, oral presentations, and competitive proposals, often running in parallel. You’ll help shape how we show up to government customers by turning smart solutions and SME input into clear, persuasive narratives that win.
What You’ll Do
- Write and edit technical, management and past performance content for RFIs, white papers, task order responses, capability responses, and competitive federal proposals, ensuring alignment with win themes
- Develop clear, compelling narratives that tell a strong story about why us—not just what we do, leveraging SME inputs
- Translate SME ideas, technical concepts, and operational approaches into customer‑focused proposal language
- Work closely with capture, proposal, and leadership teams in a lean, collaboration-heavy small business environment
- Support proposal kickoffs, solution discussions, and rapid-turn reviews
- Balance multiple efforts concurrently, adapting quickly as priorities shift
- Edit and polish content for clarity, flow, consistency, and compliance
- Incorporate feedback from leadership and reviewers under tight timelines
- Help build and refine reusable content, win themes, and boilerplate that support scale
What We’re Looking For
Experience
- 5–10 years of professional writing experience
- At least 5 years of hands-on federal proposal writing experience
- Experience supporting multiple proposals or RFIs at the same time
- Comfortable drafting sections independently, with limited direction
Skills & Style
- Excellent writing and editing skills with a clear, confident voice
- Ability to translate SME provided strategies and solutions into client focused language
- Ability to quickly understand and interpret government issued solicitation documents and to identify requirements, evaluation criteria and submission constraints
- Ability to quickly understand new subject areas and ask the right questions
- Organized and deadline-driven
- Collaborative and proactive, small business means everyone pitches in
Tools
- Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Word (styles, formatting, tracked changes)
- Experience working in SharePoint/Teams or similar collaboration tools
- Experience with proposal augmentation tools, like GovDash
Nice to Have
- Experience writing for IT services, digital modernization, cybersecurity, data analytics, health, or professional services
- Experience supporting IDIQs, BPA vehicles, or task-order–driven environments
- Familiarity with structured proposal methodologies (e.g., Shipley)
- Bachelor’s degree in English, Communications, or a related field
Why This Role Is Different
In a small business, proposal writers have real influence. You won’t just “fill sections”, you’ll help shape strategy, tone, and positioning across multiple pursuits. You’ll work closely with leadership and see the direct impact of your writing on wins, growth, and customer relationships.
If you enjoy telling a good story, working at pace, and helping a team win, this role offers variety, ownership, and visibility.
