About the role
Government Bid Writer
We are seeking an experienced tender/RFP writer to manage our government bid pipeline end-to-end. This includes identifying suitable opportunities, evaluating their potential, and crafting compelling, compliant responses that lead to successful wins.

- Shortlist and Qualify: Screen tenders against our Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) and bid/no-bid criteria, identifying high-value, high-probability opportunities and filtering out poor fits.
- Write to Win: Produce clear, persuasive, and fully compliant responses that address every evaluation criterion, develop strong win themes, adhere to format and length limits, and include all required attachments.
- Own the Process: Manage submission timelines and logistics to ensure all deadlines are met.
- Utilize AI Effectively: Leverage AI tools for research and drafting, but personally review, fact-check, and edit all content to ensure quality and accuracy. AI is a tool to assist, not replace, the writer.
- Collaborate: Work with our team to gather technical details, pricing information, and supporting evidence.
What We're Looking For
- Demonstrable experience in finding and writing successful government/public-sector tenders, RFPs, RFIs, RFQs, or ITTs.

- Preferred experience in tech or legal sectors, specifically bids for SaaS, AI, data, court reporting/legal, or technology products and services.
- Excellent written English skills and the ability to communicate dense, technical offerings clearly and compellingly.
- Comfortable working independently, managing deadlines, and making sound bid/no-bid decisions.
- Proficiency with AI writing/research tools and a disciplined approach to reviewing and editing AI-generated output.
Nice to Have
- Familiarity with procurement frameworks or panels in our target markets.
- Experience with compliance-sensitive buyers or those in the financial services sector.
- A network or genuine insight into public-sector buyer decision-making processes.
The Details
- Type: Contractor (part-time initially, potential for full-time).
- Location: Fully remote, open to candidates worldwide. Must be comfortable working with the conventions and deadlines of US, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, and UK markets.
- Rate: USD $2,000 base per month plus 3–5% uncapped commission on successful bids. Potential commission earnings can exceed $50,000+ per win, with contract ACVs reaching $1M+.
- Start Date: As soon as possible.
