If you can turn a dense solicitation into a clear plan, a persuasive response, and an on-time submission, this role is built for you.

About the Role

This is a full-time proposal role, not split with billable work, so proposals get your full attention. You will report to our CEO and work with a proposal content library and approved AI tools built to help you move quickly. Your judgment, organization, and writing turn that head start into responses that stand out.
