CyberData is seeking an IT Technical Writer to support competitive federal Health IT and Cybersecurity pursuits. This role is responsible for drafting clear, compliant, evaluator-ready proposal content, working directly from SME input, Solution Architect designs, and capture briefs.

This is a hands-on writing role. You will be expected to independently draft full proposal sections, not simply edit or format content written by others.

What You Will Be Responsible For:

• Primary Proposal Writing

  • Independently draft full sections of:

    • Technical Approach

    • Management Approach

    • Transition Plans

    • Quality Assurance and Risk Mitigation

    • Staffing and Past Performance volumes

  • Convert rough SME bullet points and Solution Architect diagrams into clear, benefits-focused federal proposal narrative

  • Write in plain, active-voice, APMP-aligned language that maps directly to evaluation criteria

  Proposal Production & Compliance Support

  • Support resumes, past performance citations, compliance matrices, and cross-reference tables

  • Ensure proposal sections meet RFP compliance, structure, and style requirements

  • Produce first drafts that require minimal rewrite during Pink and Red Team reviews

  Reusable Content & Quality Control

  • Maintain and update reusable content libraries, templates, and boilerplate material

  • Support style guides, win-theme glossaries, and customer-specific baseline content

  • Provide surge writing support during concurrent proposal finals

  Front-End & Supplemental Support

  • Support RFI and sources-sought responses, white papers, capability statements, and oral presentation scripts as needed

Required:

• • 3–6 years of experience writing or editing technical content in at least two of the following domains:

    • Federal Health IT (e.g., NIH, CMS, CDC, VA)

    • Cybersecurity (Zero Trust, NIST 800-53/171, FISMA, CMMC)

    • Enterprise IT Operations and Maintenance (cloud ops, DevSecOps, service desk)

    • Data management, analytics, or interoperability (FHIR, HL7, ETL, data platforms)

  • Demonstrated federal proposal writing experience

  • Ability to independently draft proposal sections from SME input with minimal rework

  • Strong command of Microsoft Word styles, templates, and formatting for federal proposals

  • U.S. citizenship and ability to obtain Public Trust clearance

  Applicants must be able to provide before-and-after writing samples (SME bullets → final proposal narrative).

• Experience supporting small business or set-aside federal pursuits (SDVOSB, 8(a), HUBZone)

• Prior experience at a large systems integrator or proposal shop (e.g., Leidos, GDIT, Booz Allen, Accenture Federal, OST Global, Red Team firms)

• APMP certification (Foundation or Practitioner)

• Veteran or transitioning service member

Why CyberData

• Direct contribution to competitive federal pursuits

• Close collaboration with Solution Architects and growth leadership

• Clear expectations and accountability for writing quality

• Veteran-focused culture as a proud SDVOSB

If you are confident in your ability to draft federal proposal content independently and at speed , we encourage you to apply.
