About the role
We submit a lot of federal proposals for a company our size: SBIR and STTR topics, CSO and sBAA white papers, OTA prototype proposals, consortium submissions, and RFI responses. Today that work is carried by our CEO, VP of Business Development, and outside consultants. It gets done, but it pulls our senior people away from customers and new markets, and consultant first drafts still need heavy rewriting before they sound like us. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Four to seven years in federal proposal writing or proposal management, including at least two years as the lead writer or responsible owner on DoW proposals
- Direct experience with DoW solicitation types: SBIR and STTR, OTAs, CSOs and BAAs, RFPs, and RFIs
- Excellent writing and editing. You can take a subject matter expert's notes and produce something clear, specific, and scoreable. We will ask for samples
- Command of compliance: you have built compliance matrices and caught the requirement everyone else missed
- Comfort owning a schedule and holding senior people to their deadlines
- Working fluency with modern writing tools, including AI drafting tools, and the judgment to know where they help and where they make writing generic
