Entry Level Proposal Writer (Part Time, Remote)
SJS Executives, LLC (SJS) of Virginia Beach, an SBA-certified Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), is seeking a part-time, remote technical writer to assist in composing and formatting quotes and proposals that maximize the company’s chances of winning contract work set aside for SDVOSBs.
About the role
This is an excellent opportunity for a student looking to build experience in technical writing while working in a flexible, part-time role. The ideal candidate is an excellent writer who enjoys researching new topics, has exceptional command of the English language, and can communicate technical information clearly and effectively.
The federal quotes and proposals SJS submits are primarily small to moderate in size, allowing one writer to generate and edit the entire response without a bids and proposals team. (Pricing is generated by a financial analyst, so the writer does not need to perform mathematical calculations but must ensure each pricing volume meets proposal format requirements.)

- Research technical topics and gather information from subject matter experts
- Write, edit, and proofread technical documents, user guides, procedures, and other documentation
- Ensure documentation is clear, accurate, and consistent
- Revise existing documents based on feedback and changing requirements

Qualifications
- College senior pursuing a degree in English, Communications, Technical Communication, or a related field (preferred but not required)
- Completion of at least one Technical Writing course
- Excellent written communication, grammar, and editing skills
- Strong research and analytical abilities
- Ability to organize complex information into clear, concise documentation
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to accuracy
