Job type Permanent
Discipline Innovation & Tech, Technical
Reference V-46219
We’re working with a leading organisation in the defence and maritime sector who are looking for a skilled Proposal and Technical Writer to join their commercial function.

This role is strategically focused on winning new business, not writing manuals, so you’ll be creating compelling, compliant, and customer-focused proposals and presentations that directly contribute to business growth. You’ll work closely with business development, engineering, operations, and programme management specialists in a fast-paced environment where collaboration and adaptability are key.

Key Responsibilities
  • Analyse solicitations (RFPs, RFQs, BAAs) to identify requirements, evaluation criteria, and potential risks
  • Develop proposal frameworks, including outlines, storyboards, win strategies, and content plans aligned with customer priorities
  • Collaborate with SMEs and programme managers to define technical approaches and value propositions
  • Write and edit persuasive, compliant proposal content, ensuring consistency in tone and formatting
  • Coordinate contributions from stakeholders, translating technical details into customer-focused messaging while managing deadlines
  • Lead review cycles, incorporating feedback to improve compliance, clarity, and competitiveness
  • Prepare final proposal submissions and create presentations for client briefings and internal reviews
  • Ensure all submission deadlines, formatting, and certification requirements are met

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced proposal writer to take ownership of high-value, business-critical bids within an innovative, forward-looking organisation.

Background in maritime or defence is ideal but not essential.
