Technical Writing

Overview

GovCIO is hiring an entry-level Proposal Analyst/Technical Writer to join our dynamic team of growth professionals. This is a dual-focus writing role: you'll help win federal business by turning complex solicitation requirements into clear, compliant, and compelling proposal content, and you'll produce the technical documentation — user guides, SOPs, knowledge base articles, training materials — that our programs and customers rely on.

You'll interview subject matter experts, translate dense technical material into plain language, and work alongside experienced capture, proposal, and delivery professionals who will coach you as you build depth across government customers. This role sits within GovCIO's Vets Sector MIAMI Business Unit, Mission Alignment Pillar, where you're writing directly supports how senior leaders and government direction are translated into the plans, materials, and knowledge our business unit runs on.

This position is fully remote within the United States.
