Responsibilities

• Solution Storytelling: You will work with technical experts to extract complex ideas and transform them into clear, well-structured content for federal proposals and technical reports.

• Brand & Culture Support: You will help manage our corporate voice by drafting professional, engaging content for our website, social media, and internal newsletters to highlight our team’s successes.

Must-Have Skills (Required)

• Bachelor’s Degree in English, Communications, or a related field from an accredited college or university
• Proven ability to produce clean, grammatically correct, and structured prose under tight deadlines (e.g., through a portfolio, university publication, or professional business writing)
• A natural interest in technology and a demonstrated ability to quickly grasp and explain new, unfamiliar concepts through research
• Comfort interviewing subject matter experts (like developers or project managers) to pull out key details and turn raw notes into a cohesive story
• Exceptional attention to detail with a disciplined approach to proofreading and formatting documents to ensure high-quality final products
