- Write and edit technical, management, staffing, quality, compliance, past performance, case study, and executive summary content across technical and operational workstreams.
- Keep proposal teams aligned through annotated outlines, compliance matrices, content plans, review cycles, comment adjudication, version control, and final quality checks.
- Serve as the lead writer and editor for assigned RFP/RFI, subcontractor response, and program documentation efforts; provide day-to-day direction and quality review for junior writers, coordinators, and contributors.

- Manage document schedules, review cycles, version control, comment adjudication, quality checks, and final production steps to support on-time delivery.
- Coordinate with capture, proposal, technical, operations, pricing, staffing, and partner teams to resolve content gaps and keep sections moving.
- Ensure documents meet applicable confidentiality, governance, records management, information protection, and proposal-sensitive handling requirements.
- Support lessons learned, content archiving, content-library improvements, and process improvements after submissions or major deliverables.
Requirements:
- 10+ years of technical writing, editing, proposal writing, or federal proposal/program documentation experience, including experience supporting complex federal solicitations, RFIs, task order responses, or contract deliverables.
- Demonstrated experience serving as a lead writer, senior editor, volume lead, proposal content lead, or comparable role responsible for organizing inputs and producing compliant response content.
- Strong understanding of federal proposal development, including solicitation instructions, evaluation factors, compliance matrices, annotated outlines, review cycles, technical and management volumes, staffing narratives, resumes, and past performance materials.
- Ability to interview technical and operational SMEs and translate complex inputs into clear content for executive, evaluator, customer, partner, and program audiences.
- Ability to understand and write about program content at a proposal level, including websites/applications, CRM/data, cybersecurity and data protection concepts, lead tracking, recruiting or marketing operations, contact center operations, analytics, fulfillment, field events, and business processes.
- Exceptional writing, editing, interviewing, organization, deadline management, comment adjudication, quality-control, and collaboration skills.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, SharePoint/Teams, Adobe Acrobat, and document collaboration/version-control workflows.
- Ability to handle sensitive or proposal-confidential information appropriately and work effectively in a remote, fast-moving proposal environment.
