JOB OVERVIEW

We are looking for an experienced Government Contract Proposal Writer / Bid Specialist to help our company identify, review, prepare, and submit government contracting opportunities.

* Read and understand RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, SOWs, and other bid documents

* Determine whether an opportunity is a good fit for our company
* Write clear and professional government contract proposals
* Prepare technical responses, capability information, past-performance sections, and other required documents
* Follow solicitation instructions carefully to make sure proposals are compliant
* Create proposal checklists so nothing is missing before submission
* Assist with pricing/bid documents using information provided by our team
* Organize documents and maintain records of submitted opportunities
* Help prepare and submit bids before deadlines
* Research information needed to strengthen proposals

Qualifications

We are looking for someone who:

* Has experience writing U.S. government contract proposals
* Understands government procurement and solicitation documents
* Has experience with RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and SOWs
* Has strong English reading and writing skills
* Is extremely detail-oriented
* Can follow complicated instructions and deadlines
* Can research and understand unfamiliar industries
* Can work independently and communicate clearly
* Understands proposal compliance and how government bids are evaluated

Experience with SAM.gov, federal contracting, state/local government contracting, capability statements, NAICS codes, FAR requirements, and government procurement is a major plus.

When Applying

Please send:

1. Your government contracting/proposal writing experience
2. Examples of proposals or bids you have worked on (with confidential information removed)
3. Types of government contracts you have experience with
4. Platforms you have used to find or submit government opportunities
5. Your availability and expected hourly/monthly rate

Important: We are specifically looking for someone with government proposal/bid experience—not just a general content writer.

Our goal is to build a long-term relationship with someone who can help us consistently review opportunities and submit high-quality, compliant government contract proposals.
