About the Role

Develop persuasive, compliant, and technically accurate proposals in response to RFPs, RFIs, and other solicitation types by working closely with subject-matter experts to translate technical solutions into compelling narratives.

Responsibilities

• Review solicitations (RFPs, RFIs) to extract requirements, compliance criteria, and evaluation guidelines.
• Coordinate with SMEs to gather technical, budgetary, and project-plan information needed for proposal content.
• Draft, edit, and finalize technical proposal sections including technical approach, system architecture, implementation methodology, evaluation metrics, deliverables, staffing, timelines, budget narratives, and executive summaries.
• Assemble and format full proposal packages, ensuring compliance with formatting, templates, page limits, submission guidelines, and internal standards.
• Maintain and update a reusable content library (templates, past performance summaries, resumes/capabilities, boilerplate text, graphics).
• Manage deadlines and submission schedules, coordinate reviews, feedback cycles, and final approvals.
• Ensure writing quality, consistency of tone/style, compliance with RFP requirements, clarity, and readability.

Requirements

• 3–5+ years of experience in technical writing, proposal writing, or business-development documentation (IT/engineering/government proposals preferred).
• Good understanding of software development lifecycles (SDLC).
• Proven ability to write persuasive technical content balancing technical detail with business value.
• Ability to read architectural diagrams or code snippets (JSON, Python, or Java) to understand how a solution works without constant hand-holding.
• Ability to comprehend and distill complex technical information into clear, concise, persuasive language for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience with common authoring tools: MS Word, PowerPoint, content management/ proposal-management software; familiarity with graphics/layout tools is a plus.
• Strong understanding of proposal development processes (Shipley, APMP, or similar methodologies).
• Strong writing, grammar, editing, proofreading, and communication skills.
• Excellent organizational, time-management, and project-coordination skills; ability to handle multiple proposals under tight deadlines.
• Ability to work collaboratively across teams, engage with SMEs, and manage feedback/iterations in the proposal process.
