We’re looking for a proactive self‑starter—resourceful, initiative driven, and dependable, with a strong work ethic.

At the PDC, Proposal Writers focus on creating persuasive sales materials and developing compelling proposal narratives to support the growth of the company in response to Government solicitations (RFx).

This role provides opportunities to build proposal expertise while contributing to high visibility submissions across AFS.
