Overview

Confidential Client is hiring an entry-level Proposal Analyst / Technical Writer to join a mission-focused team supporting government customers. This fully remote, U.S.-based role combines proposal writing (RFPs, RFIs, RFQs) with creation and maintenance of technical documentation—user guides, SOPs, knowledge base articles, training materials, and other customer-facing content. You will interview subject matter experts, translate technical information into clear, usable content, and work with experienced capture, proposal, and delivery staff who will mentor your development.

• Draft, edit, format, and proofread proposal sections and related artifacts for RFPs, RFIs, and RFQs.
• Create and maintain technical documentation: user guides, SOPs, knowledge-base articles, training content, FAQs, quick-reference guides, and online help.
• Conduct interviews and information-gathering sessions with SMEs to turn complex subject matter into audience-appropriate content.
• Build and maintain SharePoint sites and other knowledge-management assets to organize and share information.
• Develop visual aids (process flows, diagrams, charts, infographics) to clarify technical and business processes.
• Ensure consistency with templates, style guides, Section 508 and agency formatting requirements where applicable.
• Deliver high-quality work on schedule and support quality-control and security policies.
