• Demonstrated experience creating Section 508‑compliant documents.
• Exceptional grammar, organization, synthesis, and quality‑control skills.
• Ability to accurately capture technical or policy discussions and preserve meaning while improving readability.
• Active Top Secret clearance with the ability to obtain and maintain SCI; U.S. citizenship required.
