Proposal Writer

At GSF Media, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Since 1997, we’ve helped brands grow through clear strategy, creative execution, and content that converts. Every proposal we create is built from the ground up, tailored to the client and designed to communicate value with clarity.
We’re looking for someone who understands how to connect what a client needs with what we offer and then present that in a way that’s strategic and visually compelling. We’re not looking for someone to fill in templates. This is much more creative and strategic. This role is central to how we communicate our value before a contract is ever signed.
The Role:
As our Proposal Strategist & Designer, you’ll own the creation of custom proposals and pitch materials for prospective clients. You’ll work closely with sales, marketing, and creative leadership to translate discovery notes into tailored strategies and then quickly design presentations that make the case visually and logically.
This role blends strategy, communication, and design. You’ll need to understand the difference between LSA ads and organic social, and know when to recommend each. You’ll also need to keep everything aligned with our brand standards while moving fast and staying sharp under pressure.
What You’ll Do:
Collaborate with sales and strategy teams to build custom, accurate, and compelling proposals
Recommend the right services for each prospect — based on notes, briefs, or quick strategy huddles
Design high-impact proposals using a blend of tools like Keynote, Qwilr, and Adobe Creative Suite
Ensure proposals reflect GSF’s visual identity and clearly communicate the “why” behind our approach
Maintain flexible internal frameworks for proposals without relying on copy/paste methods
Spot and fix misaligned messaging or inaccurate service recommendations before they go out
Help improve our proposal workflow, visual standards, pricing, and service-matching process over time
What You’ll Need:
A strong grasp of digital marketing services—especially paid ads (Google, Meta, LSA), video production, websites, and content
Confidence recommending service mixes based on client goals
Design ability—strong eye for layout, hierarchy, and visual storytelling
Fluency in Keynote, Qwilr, Adobe tools, or similar platforms
Excellent communication and writing skills—you can explain the “why” with clarity
Attention to detail—you notice when bullets are off, when slides don’t flow, or when messaging doesn’t match the original conversation
Bonus If You:
Have previous marketing agency experience
Know how to lead a project, not just execute tasks
Enjoy explaining strategy and thinking alongside the sales team
This Role is For Someone Who:
Gets energized by creating clarity from chaos
Can confidently speak to what we offer and why it matters
Thinks like a strategist and works like a designer
Believes a proposal is the first proof of value—not just a document
