Job Description:

GDIT is currently seeking a Senior Proposal Solutions and Writer to join our team! This hybrid position must be local to the National Capital Region and work in our Falls Church office or other GDIT locations at least three (3+) days per week.

The Senior Proposal Solutions and Writer is a senior proposal writer responsible for shaping winning strategies, improving proposal quality at scale, strengthening proposal operations, and writing compelling, compliant proposals in response to complex, high-value federal pursuits. This role operates above individual proposal execution—driving consistency, risk management, and measurable improvements in win performance across the proposal portfolio.

The Senior Proposal Solutions and Writer partners closely with Capture, Solution Architecture, Pricing, and Proposal Leadership to translate customer priorities into clear, compliant, and compelling proposals across the entire GDIT enterprise. This role also plays a key part in mentoring senior staff, refining proposal processes, and evolving how proposal organizations operate in increasingly complex and AI-enabled environments.

MEANINGFUL WORK AND PERSONAL IMPACT

• Serve as Volume Lead and/or Lead Writer for Technical and Management Volumes of proposals ranging in value from $25M to $1B+
• Lead management proposal solutioning for large, complex, and/or high-risk federal pursuits, translating capture strategy into executable proposal approaches
• Write assigned proposal sections based on interviews, solutioning sessions, and industry best practices, that incorporate reviewer feedback and are tailored to the customer’s hot buttons and defined win themes/strengths
• Partner with Capture and Solution teams to ensure proposals clearly articulate people, process, and tools
• Shape win themes, discriminators, and proof points for management and technical volumes that align to customer mission priorities and evaluation criteria
• Identify and mitigate proposal risk early, advising leadership on solution gaps, compliance exposure, and staffing impacts
• Mentor more junior proposal staff to strengthen strategic thinking, judgment, and proposal leadership skills.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO SUCCEED
Bring your initiative and drive for innovation to GDIT. The Sr. Proposal Solutions & Writer must have:
Education: Bachelor’s Degree
Experience: 10+ years of experience in federal proposal development, including leadership roles on complex pursuits

Work Experience:

• Experience supporting large IDIQs, task-order driven environments, or assisted acquisition models
• Experience integrating AI-enabled tools into proposal workflows while maintaining quality and compliance
• Demonstrated success shaping and reviewing large, compliance-driven proposals
• Experience as a Volume Lead, Book Boss, or Lead Proposal Writer.
• Deep understanding of proposal strategy, evaluation criteria, and competitive positioning
• Strong command of technical and management proposal writing providing the ability to diagnose issues quickly and coach teams effectively
• Experience operating across multiple proposals simultaneously
