As a team (of which you will be part), we decide which opportunities to pursue and what our big ideas are. Thats where you step up. You borrow bits form old proposals, take ideas from our team, add in your own two cents, and set out to write the worlds best proposal that wins over our soon-to-be client.

Please note : this job is for a full time, in-house position. Which is not to say that teleworking from time to time cannot be accommodated when there is good reason to do so, but generally speaking, this is an in-house role, 5-days per week.
