This role will focus on pre-RFP planning and prewriting activities, including tailoring strategic, compliant, and client-centered content for future RFPs, RFIs, RFQs, and scope expansion opportunities.

  • Develop content that aligns with internal quality standards, brand, style, tone, and commonly used industry and client terminology
  • When needed, support active proposal efforts by adapting prewritten content into compliant and compelling final responses

What’s in it for you?

  • Strong project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple deadlines simultaneously
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills and keen attention to detail
