Position Title: Compliance-Focused Federal IT Proposal Writer/Editor

Location: Remote, candidate must be in the DMV area

Position Overview: We are seeking an experienced Compliance-Focused Federal IT Proposal Writer/Editor with a strong background in developing compliant, high-quality responses to Federal Government Requests for Proposals (RFPs). The ideal candidate will work closely with Solution Architects, Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), and Proposal Managers to ensure all written and/or oral proposal sections align with RFP requirements, compliance matrices, and evaluation criteria.

This role requires expertise in structured approaches to federal proposal compliance, including technical, management, corporate experience, staffing rationale, resumes, and transition sections. The ability to interpret solicitation instructions (RFP, RFQ, RFI, etc.), Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), and agency-specific requirements is critical to success.

This position is a part-time hourly position. Preference is for independent contractors.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Analyze and interpret RFP requirements to ensure responses are fully compliant and compelling.
  • Develop and maintain compliance matrices to ensure all proposal sections meet Section L (Instructions), Section M (Evaluation Criteria), and Statement of Work (SOW/PWS) requirements.
  • Create compliant templates for proposal authors, ensuring consistency in formatting, structure, and adherence to RFP requirements.
  • Collaborate with Solution Architects and SMEs to document, articulate, and refine solutions in alignment with government evaluation criteria.
  • Lead and develop written responses across various proposal sections, ensuring compliance with solicitation requirements and customer expectations.
  • Work as part of a collaborative proposal team to integrate win themes, discriminators, and compliance-driven strategies into proposal content.
  • Utilize strong communication and interviewing skills to extract and synthesize key information from internal and external personnel.
  • Write clear, concise, compliant, and compelling proposal sections that translate complex ideas into easy-to-understand language.
  • Ensure all written content aligns with proposal compliance matrices, avoiding noncompliance pitfalls that could lead to disqualification.
  • Implement and refine proposal process improvements, including enhancing compliance tracking and proposal development best practices.

Required Qualifications:

  • 5 years of experience developing compliance matrices, compliant proposal templates, and writing proposals in response to Federal Government RFPs, ensuring full compliance with requirements.
  • Proven track record of high-scoring, compliant, and winning proposal submissions.
  • Demonstrated success in writing and leading technical, management, transition, staffing, and corporate experience/past performance volumes for complex efforts.
  • Deep understanding of federal acquisition regulations (FAR/DFARS) and government procurement processes.
  • Strong proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and proposal management tools.
  • Exceptional writing, communication, and organizational skills.
  • Familiarity with video, live orals, and demonstration-based proposals.
  • Ability to coach and guide technical and management authors to ensure consistency and compliance across sections.
  • May need to be onsite during active proposal efforts and available to support capture/proposal teams across the Washington Metro Area.

This role is critical to ensuring proposal compliance, clarity, and competitiveness, directly impacting our success in securing Federal Government contracts. If you thrive in high-stakes environments and have a passion for developing compliant, winning proposals, we encourage you to apply!
