RFP / Government Contracting Specialist — Remote
We usually respond within a week
Company Overview
Our client bids on and wins US state and federal government contracts. This role supports the client’s contracting strategy by owning the bid execution process, maintaining compliance, and improving throughput and quality over time.
Your Role
As an RFP / Government Contracting Specialist, you’ll run government proposal submissions from intake through final submission. This is not a “fill in the blanks” role—you’ll own deadlines, formats, and compliance requirements; coordinate internal stakeholders; and write/assemble proposals that respond directly to government evaluation criteria.
You’ll partner closely with internal teams to gather accurate inputs, shape clear answers, and continuously improve the process so the client gets faster and more consistent over time.
You’ll:
Government RFP intake, coordination, and submission management
Identify and intake new government contracting opportunities (monitor procurement portals and bid sources)
Run end-to-end government proposal submissions (intake → drafting → reviews → final submission)
Own timelines, deadlines, formats, and compliance requirements so nothing slips
Drive follow-ups with internal stakeholders to unblock inputs, answers, and approvals
Maintain version control and deliver polished, compliant final submissions
Work within government process constraints: communication is primarily through written questions and formal proposal submissions (no direct outreach to government contacts)
Writing, editing, and response quality
Dissect large government RFP packages (often extensive documentation) and translate requirements into a clear response plan
Draft accurate responses aligned to solicitation requirements and evaluation criteria
Edit for clarity, structure, and compliance—without overselling or adding risk
Content library + process improvement
Build and maintain reusable proposal content (standard answers, past performance language, compliance checklists)
Capture learnings and improve the process (what repeats, what wins/loses, what slows the team down)
Support the client’s contracting strategy by helping track key inputs (e.g., renewal timelines and prior contract context when available)
You Bring:
Hands-on experience bidding on US state and/or federal government contracts (required)
Experience navigating government procurement portals and bid submission workflows
Experience with government contracting processes, including proposal compliance and (where applicable) contract negotiation support
Strong writing, editing, and structured-thinking skills (turn messy inputs into crisp, compliant answers)
Excellent organization, attention to detail, and version control habits
Comfort coordinating cross-functionally and driving follow-ups without becoming the bottleneck
Ability to ship reliably under deadline pressure
Strong English communication skills
Bonus Points:
Experience with both state and federal contracting (or multiple procurement portals)
Familiarity with proposal / knowledge-base tooling and maintaining reusable content libraries
Enjoy building repeatable systems and improving how work gets done
What’s Offered:
Fully remote work environment
Competitive compensation (based on experience)
High-impact role with visibility across the business
Opportunity to build scalable government-contracting proposal operations and content systems
