Role Description Are you a writer who gets curious when things don’t make sense? We’re looking for a versatile writer who is eager to learn, looking to connect the dots, and ready to wrangle terminology into compelling prose.

If you can bring clarity from jargon without getting lost in it and have experience with government proposals, we would love to hear from you. As a Proposal Writer within ICF’s Digital Modernization and Experience (DMX) Group, you’ll help shape the story behind emerging technologies and public services, crafting narratives that reflect our vision, capabilities, and commitment to winning work that drives government impact.

This role offers the chance to collaborate directly with delivery teams, subject matter experts, and key leaders, helping connect ICF’s experiences and strengths to what matters most to our clients. Responsibilities: - Develop, write, and edit high-quality proposals, including technical, management, and past performance volumes. - Review and refine proposal content produced by proposal teams to ensure clarity, accuracy, and alignment with Request for Proposal (RFP) requirements. - Lead technical writing efforts for strategic proposal submissions, particularly in areas focused on digital modernization, application development, data analytics, AI/ML, agile methodologies, engineering, and cyber security. - Engage actively in the solutioning process for proposals, collaborating with technical and business development teams to articulate technical approaches that meet specific client needs. - Create targeted capability statements and technical briefs that effectively showcase our organization’s expertise in digital transformation, agile engineering, and data-driven solutions.

Requirements - 10+ years in a technical writing or proposal development role, ideally within technology, digital experience or communication sectors. - Familiarity with Agile methodologies and the software development life cycle (SDLC). - Strong organizational and communication skills with a focus on clarity, structure, and audience-centered technical writing. - Ability to adapt to shifting priorities and work effectively with cross-functional teams in a fast-paced environment. - Experience supporting projects directly or managing deliverables across teams. - Demonstrated interest or experience with AI and/or automation tools. Benefits - ICF is a global advisory and technology services provider, but we’re not your typical consultants. - We combine unmatched expertise with cutting-edge technology to help clients solve their most complex challenges, navigate change, and shape the future. - We can only solve the world's toughest challenges by building a workplace that allows everyone to thrive. - We are an equal opportunity employer. - Together, our employees are empowered to share their expertise and collaborate with others to achieve personal and professional goals.

Reasonable Accommodations are available, including, but not limited to, for disabled veterans, individuals with disabilities, and individuals with sincerely held religious beliefs, in all phases of the application and employment process.
