Responsibilities

The Senior Proposal Narrative Specialist is a gifted storyteller to sit alongside its two existing compliance-focused proposal writers, taking dry, technical draft content and rewriting it into narrative that holds a government evaluator's attention, without compromising strict federal compliance and formatting rules. This is a senior individual-contributor seat, not a management role. The company bids two to four proposals a month across three divisions, working in parallel with a lean BD team of two proposal writers and two cost and pricing specialists. This hire takes draft technical and compliance content from those writers, from division leaders, and from subject matter experts, and turns it into a cohesive, compelling story, one that keeps an evaluator reading past the first few paragraphs and through to the pricing volume. The writing has to work inside real constraints. Federal formatting and page-limit rules are strictly enforced and violating them disqualifies a bid regardless of how good the content is. The job is to make the narrative better within that box, not around it. Over time, this person is also expected to raise the level of the two existing writers.

Specific responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Rewrite technical, compliance-heavy draft content into a story that holds a government evaluator's attention
• Write or elevate the sections where voice matters most, without disrupting formatting or page-limit compliance
• Work in parallel across two to four proposals a month with the existing proposal writers and cost and pricing team
• Partner with division leaders and subject matter experts across three divisions to translate technical
