POSITION SUMMARY

The Proposal Writer II is responsible for identifying, qualifying, developing, and submitting persuasive, compliant responses to government Requests for Proposals (RFPs), Requests for Information (RFIs), Requests for Qualifications (RFQs), Invitations for Bid (IFBs), and related public-sector solicitations.
