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
