About the Organization
Now is a great time to join Redhorse Corporation. We are a solution-driven company delivering data insights and technology solutions to customers with missions critical to U.S. national interests. We're looking for thoughtful, skilled professionals who thrive as trusted partners building technology-agnostic solutions and want to apply their talents supporting customers with difficult and important mission sets.
About the Role
Redhorse Corporation seeks a Technical Writer with two to five years of professional writing or government experience who can research and write clear, compelling content on tight deadlines. This role is ideal for a strong communicator with analytical ability who may be newer to writing government proposals but has demonstrated success with dissecting assignments, determining writing requirements, assessing audience/assessor viewpoints, and writing compliant and compelling responses to prompts.
Working under the guidance of a senior writer and proposal manager, the Technical Writer will own assigned proposal sections and contribute proactively to reviews, revisions, and quality control of proposal efforts across a range of technical domains (e.g., proposals for graph analytics, artificial intelligence, cyber ops). You'll help craft persuasive, compliant proposal volumes that position Redhorse to win new government contracts.
