Job description

Description:

JOB TITLE: Government Proposal Writer/Contracts Administrator

Job Summary: We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Government Proposal Writer/Contracts Administrator to support and manage the proposal development process from pre-solicitation through final submission. A Government Proposal Writer is responsible for developing, writing, and submitting compelling and compliant proposals in response to government solicitations (e.g., Requests for Proposals or RFPs). The writer works with internal teams, subject matter experts (SMEs), and business development staff to produce high-quality, persuasive documents that meet strict deadlines and complex regulatory requirements. 

Key Responsibilities: 

  • Analysis and planning: Analyze government      solicitations (RFPs, RFQs, etc.) and related documents to understand      requirements, evaluation criteria, and deadlines. Develop proposal      outlines, compliance matrices, and writing plans.
  • Content development: Write and edit      various proposal sections, such as the executive summary, technical      approach, past performance, and management plan. Synthesize complex      information from multiple sources into a clear and compelling narrative.
  • Collaboration: Work with SMEs to      gather information and translate technical concepts into persuasive,      easy-to-understand language. Coordinate with the contracts and pricing      teams to ensure proposal accuracy.
  • Compliance and quality      control: Ensure      proposals strictly adhere to all government regulations, including the      Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). Perform final edits, proofreads, and      quality control checks for grammar, consistency, and formatting.
  • Management and      coordination: Manage      proposal schedules and deliverables to meet all submission deadlines.      Coordinate production, including final document formatting, printing,      binding, and submission.
  • Content management: Maintain and      update a library of reusable proposal content, templates, and graphics.
  • Post-submission      activities: Participate      in post-submission activities like addressing clarification questions and      attending debrief meetings. 

Required Qualifications:

· Education: A bachelor’s degree in Communications, English, Business, or a related field is typically required.

· Experience: A minimum of 2–4 years of proven experience in government proposal writing, with increasing responsibility for higher-value and more complex bids for senior-level roles.

· Technical knowledge: Familiarity with government procurement processes and regulations (e.g., FAR and DFARS) is crucial.

· Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to convey complex ideas clearly and persuasively.

· Organizational skills: Strong project management and organizational skills to manage multiple priorities under tight deadlines.

· Software proficiency: Experience with Microsoft Office Suite (especially Word) and proposal management software (e.g., Qvidian or RFPIO) is often preferred.

· Detail-oriented: Meticulous attention to detail to ensure 100% compliance with all solicitation requirements.
