Job description

Brillient is seeking an exceptional Senior Proposal Writer who doesn't just produce compliant responses - they produce winning ones. This individual will serve as the cornerstone of our proposal development effort, partnering with capture managers, technical SMEs, and leadership to craft compelling, evaluator-focused narratives that differentiate Brillient in competitive federal procurements. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for a practitioner who thrives in deadline-driven environments, can rapidly absorb complex technical solutions, and knows how to translate dense technical content into prose that scores. You will own proposal volumes end-to-end - from strategy and outline through final production - across FedCiv, Health, DoD, and product/software sales opportunities.
This position follows a hybrid schedule, candidates must be local to the National Capital Region.
Job Duties:
Proposal Leadership & Writing
  • Lead end-to-end development of proposal volumes including Technical, Management, Past Performance, and Executive Summaries for competitive federal procurements
  • Translate complex technical solutions - often developed by engineers, architects, and subject matter experts - into clear, compelling, and evaluator-friendly narrative
  • Drive proposal strategy sessions, storyboards, and win theme workshops to ensure every response tells a coherent, differentiated story from cover to cover
  • Write, edit, and red-team proposal content to maximize compliance, quality, and discriminating score potential
  • Develop and maintain reusable content libraries: boilerplate, past performance write-ups, executive bios, capability statements, and standard proposal sections
  • Experience utilizing a myriad of proposal development tools, including AI, as a force multiplier

Collaboration & Solutioning
  • Partner closely with technical leads, architects, and program managers to extract solution details and shape them into proposal-ready content under time pressure
  • Facilitate structured interviews and working sessions with SMEs who may not be experienced proposal contributors - you know how to draw out the gold
  • Support capture strategy by contributing to competitive analysis, win theme development, teaming strategy narratives, and color team preparation
  • Collaborate with Contracts, Pricing, and BD leadership to ensure proposal coherence across all volumes and attachments Product & Software Proposals
  • Develop compelling value propositions and narrative for proposals involving Brillient software products and SaaS/platform solutions sold into the federal market
  • Articulate software capabilities, implementation approaches, and ROI in terms that resonate with both technical evaluators and contracting officers
  • Support responses to RFIs, Sources Sought, and capability-based market engagements for product lines

Process & Quality
  • Enforce proposal development best practices including compliance matrices, schedule management, annotation, and color review milestones
  • Identify and flag proposal risks - staffing gaps, unclear requirements, solution weaknesses - early and constructively
  • Conduct post-submission lessons-learned reviews and debrief analysis to continuously sharpen Brillient's proposal quality
  • Mentor junior writers and proposal coordinators; help build a culture of proposal excellence across the BD team

Required Education and Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Communications, English, Journalism, Business, Marketing, Technical Writing, or a related field. Equivalent combination of education and relevant federal proposal experience will also be considered.
  • Minimum six (6) years of federal proposal writing experience with a demonstrated track record of wins across competitive procurements
  • U.S. Citizenship required; ability to obtain and maintain a government security clearance required
  • Direct, hands-on writing experience across FedCiv, Federal Health (HHS, CMS, NIH, VA, etc.), and DoD customers - not just team support, but volume ownership
  • Proven ability to work with highly technical solution teams (software engineers, cloud architects, data scientists) and distill complex approaches into high-scoring proposal prose
  • Deep familiarity with FAR-based acquisitions, LPTA and Best Value trade-off source selections, and the mechanics of federal evaluation criteria
  • Proficiency with the Shipley proposal development process or equivalent methodology
  • Strong command of proposal compliance: RFP decomposition, compliance matrices, and PWS/SOW cross-referencing
  • Ability to manage multiple concurrent proposals with competing deadlines - without sacrificing quality
  • Exceptional written English: clear, active-voice, discriminating prose that evaluators want to read
