Full job description
Are you a writer who gets curious when things don’t make sense? We’re looking for a versatile writer who is eager to learn, looking to connect the dots, and ready to wrangle terminology into compelling prose. You don’t need to be an expert on the subject, but you do need to care about how things work and how to explain why it matters in a way people can understand. If you can bring clarity from jargon without getting lost in it and have experience with government proposals, we would love to hear from you.
As a Proposal Writer within ICF’s Digital Modernization and Experience (DMX) Group, you’ll help shape the story behind emerging technologies and public services, crafting narratives that reflect our vision, capabilities, and commitment to winning work that drives government impact. You’ll work across technology and communication opportunities, distilling complex ideas about innovation, human-centered design, and data-driven services into plain language that’s grounded in real outcomes. This role offers the chance to collaborate directly with delivery teams, subject matter experts, and key leaders, helping connect ICF’s experiences and strengths to what matters most to our clients.
Responsibilities:
Develop, write, and edit high-quality proposals, including technical, management, and past performance volumes.
Review and refine proposal content produced by proposal teams to ensure clarity, accuracy, and alignment with Request for Proposal (RFP) requirements.
Lead technical writing efforts for strategic proposal submissions, particularly in areas focused on digital modernization, application development, data analytics, AI/ML, agile methodologies, engineering, and cyber security.
Engage actively in the solutioning process for proposals, collaborating with technical and business development teams to articulate technical approaches that meet specific client needs.
Create targeted capability statements and technical briefs that effectively showcase our organization’s expertise in digital transformation, agile engineering, and data-driven solutions.
Qualifications:
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in English, Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or related fields.
10+ years supporting or writing federal and/or state proposals.
Strong critical thinking and analytical abilities.
Proven ability to engage productively with staff at all levels of an organization.
Preferred Qualifications:
10+ years in a technical writing or proposal development role, ideally within technology, digital experience or communication sectors.
Familiarity with Agile methodologies and the software development life cycle (SDLC).
Strong organizational and communication skills with a focus on clarity, structure, and audience-centered technical writing.
Ability to adapt to shifting priorities and work effectively with cross-functional teams in a fast-paced environment.
Experience supporting projects directly or managing deliverables across teams.
Demonstrated interest or experience with AI and/or automation tools.
