The Role

You are the writing engine that turns raw SME input, Solution Architect designs, and BD Analyst briefs into clear, compliant, evaluator-winning proposal content. This is a high-volume, high-visibility role with rapid promotion potential in a fast-growing SDVOSB.

What You Own Every Day

• Assist with writing and editing full sections of Technical Approach, Management Approach, Transition Plans, Quality Assurance, Risk Mitigation, Staffing, and Past Performance volumes
• Rapidly convert engineer/SME bullet lists and Solution Architect diagrams into polished, benefits-focused federal proposal narrative
• Own resumes, past performance citations, compliance matrices, and reusable content library updates (Loopio/Responsive.io or similar)
• Produce first drafts that routinely score 90+ on Pink Team with minimal rework
• Support RFI responses, white papers, capability statements, and oral presentation scripts
• Maintain style guides, win-theme glossaries, and customer-specific baseline content
• Provide surge support during concurrent finals

Required:

• 3–6 years writing or editing technical content in at least two of the following domains:
• Federal health IT (NIH, CMS, CDC, VA)
• Cybersecurity (zero-trust, NIST 800-53/171, FISMA, CMMC)
• Enterprise IT Operations & Maintenance (cloud ops, DevSecOps, service desk)
• Data management/analytics/AI (FHIR, HL7, data lakes, ETL)
• Proven federal proposal experience – must provide before-and-after writing samples (SME bullets → your final narrative)
• Ability to write in plain, active-voice, APMP-style language
• Experience with Microsoft Word styles/templates, and basic proposal graphics concepts
• U.S. citizenship

Strongly Preferred:

• Current or recent experience at a small or emerging 8(a)/SDVOSB federal contractor
• Prior career at a large systems integrator or proposal shop (Leidos, GDIT, Booz Allen, Accenture Federal, OST Global, Red Team, etc.)
• Direct success supporting SDVOSB or 8(a) set-aside pursuits
• APMP certification (Foundation or Practitioner)
• Veteran status (strong preference – we are a proud SDVOSB)
