Description
SAIC is looking for a Proposal Writer. This position may be remote anywhere in the US, for the right candidate.
What You’ll Do
The Proposal Writer is a key supporting member of the Proposal Development Center (PDC).

You have a hunger for knowledge, a thirst for quality, and an eye for accuracy. Each proposal offers you an opportunity to learn about exciting innovations that sustain and support our government, including our military.
Your strengths in the written word, communications, and the English language (grammar nerds welcomed and embraced), will be appreciated throughout the proposal development process. You’ll learn and grow an expertise in weaving in win strategies, themes, and discriminators into proposal artifacts, making an impact to important solutions supporting our customers.

SAIC is dedicated to your professional development and career growth with our mature mentor-protégé program and robust training opportunities (e.g., emerging technologies, leadership development, and industry best practices).
In this deadline-driven industry, we offer you competitive compensation, a flexible work schedule, and work-life balance.
