  • Create detailed proposal content by conducting interviews with technical, program, and management personnel.
  • Comply with the timelines and deadlines set by the proposal manager and manage time proactively.
    Conduct research, draft preliminary guidance materials and documentation, assess technical options, and endorse the optimal choice.
  • Generate RFI responses, promotional materials, and client presentations.
  • Work with team members and stakeholders to create documents that accurately present information about current contracts and various projects. Participate in comprehensive quality, compliance, and completeness evaluations of each response to an opportunity, including involvement in color reviews and content refinement based on feedback from review teams and guidance from the capture or proposal manager.
  • Support capture management research as instructed by the capture manager.
  • Formulate a strategy for ongoing collection of technical data.

  • Exceptional writing, communication, and interpersonal abilities.
  • Capability to convert business issues into viable, scalable technical solutions, presented narratively or graphically.
  • A keen intellectual curiosity and the aptitude to rapidly understand diverse subjects.
  • Meticulous attention to detail with a strict observance of schedules and deadlines.
  • A self-driven, proactive, and dynamic approach.
  • Flexibility to work evenings and weekends when necessary to meet writing deadlines or coordinate with operational/contractor staff during off-hours.
  • Proficiency in multitasking and prioritizing in a dynamic, demanding, and deadline-oriented setting.
  • Proficiency with MS Office suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, SharePoint) and Adobe PDF. Desired qualifications:
  • Knowledge of Business Development Lifecycle practices, such as Shipley methodologies.
  • Familiarity with the federal government sector and proposal processes.
