We are looking for an experienced proposal writer who excels in high-volume, fast-paced environments. You must be a clear, persuasive communicator and a collaborative team player who welcomes constructive feedback and consistently delivers high-quality work under pressure.

This role spans the full proposal lifecycle?from analyzing solicitations and shaping strategy and approach to writing, editing, and finalizing content. Proposal efforts will primarily focus on BETAH?s core capabilities: communications, peer review support, event and conference management, and other professional services.

Workload will fluctuate based on the volume of active opportunities and often requires meeting tight deadlines with quick turnarounds.

Ideal candidates will bring:

  • A proven track record of crafting compliant, compelling content for federal proposals tailored to meet requirements? scope, evaluation criteria, and goals.
  • The ability to quickly understand agency missions and translate technical requirements into strong narratives
  • Familiarity with federal agencies such as The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), The Department of Justice (DOJ), or U.S. Department of the Treasury is a strong plus.
 

Key Responsibilities

  • Analyze RFIs, RFQs, RFPs, SOWs, and evaluation criteria to shape content strategy
  • Participate in kickoff and strategy sessions to align win themes and assignments
  • Collaborate with proposal managers and SMEs to gather input and clarify concepts
  • Develop original, tailored content for technical, management, staffing, and past performance sections
  • Ensure a cohesive and consistent voice across content developed by multiple writers and subject matter experts, harmonizing tone, style, and messaging to produce a unified and compelling final narrative.
  • Customize boilerplate material to align with requirements scope, tone, and structure
  • Revise content in response to reviewer feedback, ensuring compliance and clarity
  • Edit and proofread for accuracy, consistency, and flow
  • Manage version control and deliver work on time
  • Assist with submission logistics when needed
 

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of hands-on experience writing federal government proposals
  • Demonstrated success in producing compliant, persuasive content under pressure
  • Strong writing, editing, and critical thinking skills
  • Deep understanding of federal procurement processes and language
  • Ability to synthesize input into clear, concise narratives
  • Collaborative spirit and comfort working in a virtual team environment
  • Proficiency in the Office 365 Platform, Teams, SharePoint, Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat
  • Knowledge of structured proposal processes and review cycles (e.g., Shipley Method or equivalent)
  • Prior experience in proposal coordination, management, and capture planning preferred
