Join a PE-backed GIS consulting firm building a real proposal function from the ground up.
Proposal Writer / Coordinator
Location/Type: Remote (U.S.)Pay: $70,000–$80,000 base salarySchedule: Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm. Flexibility required for submission deadlines.
Our client is a fast-growing GIS consulting firm supporting state and local governments across the U.S. This is a hands-on proposal role for someone who knows how government evaluators score submissions — and how to write responses that score higher.
You'll help build structure where little exists today. Less bureaucracy. More ownership. Real impact on win rates and growth.
What you'll do
- Build compliance matrices before proposal writing begins
- Write RFP, RFQ, and proactive strategic proposals
- Translate GIS concepts into clear client-facing language
- Improve proposal scoring through stronger response strategy
- Coordinate deadlines, contributors, formatting, and submissions
- Submit proposals through procurement portals and verify receipt
- Support 3–5 concurrent pursuits under tight deadlines
- Maintain proposal content libraries, resumes, and project profiles
- Support presentations, case studies, and pursuit collateral
- Improve proposal processes as the company scales
Must-haves
- 3–6 years writing public-sector proposals
- Experience with government RFP compliance requirements
- Strong Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat skills
- Ability to write toward evaluation criteria and scoring
- Experience managing multiple concurrent proposal deadlines
- Strong writing, editing, and proofreading ability
Nice to have
- GIS, geospatial, IT consulting, or municipal experience
- Bonfire, Periscope, DemandStar, or procurement portal experience
- HubSpot or Salesforce experience
- Loopio, RFPIO, or proposal automation tool exposure
- Experience at smaller or scaling consulting firms
Perks & pay
- Pay: $70,000–$80,000 base salary
- Health insurance
- Simple IRA with employer match
- Above-average PTO
- Paid week off between Christmas and New Year's
Schedule & setup
- Fully remote U.S.-based role
- Monday–Friday core schedule
- Flexibility required during submission cycles
- Travel as needed
Impact & growth
This team currently handles 50–60 proposals annually and is targeting significant growth. You'll help build a more mature proposal operation while directly improving submission quality, compliance rigor, and win consistency.
This is not a heavily layered enterprise proposal team. You'll write, coordinate, problem-solve, and jump in where needed. Strong ownership matters here.
You like pace and ownership. You start, finish, and follow through.
At Urrly, fairness matters. We use AI to review every application against the same clear requirements for the role. This means every candidate is evaluated on job-related factors like skills, certifications, and experience—not on personal attributes such as gender, race, age, or background. Our goal is to create a more objective, consistent, and equal opportunity hiring process for all applicants.
