Grants & Proposals Writer

Business DevelopmentColoradoNone required$90K–$130K base

Base salary range. Actual offer depends on experience and location. Equity and bonus are additional.

The federal pipeline runs on written words that survive evaluation. You own SBIR/STTR responses, grant applications, and proposal volumes end to end: compliance matrices, technical narrative shaped with the engineers, and the discipline of never missing a deadline.

Responsibilities

  • Write and manage SBIR/STTR, BAA, and grant responses end to end
  • Build compliance matrices and manage color-team review cycles
  • Translate engineering input into clear, compliant technical volumes
  • Maintain the proposal calendar and reusable content library

Requirements

  • 4+ years proposal or grant writing for federal customers
  • SBIR/STTR experience strongly preferred
  • Exceptional written English and ruthless deadline discipline
  • No clearance required

What the first year looks like

  • A proposal calendar and content library that make each response faster than the last
  • Submissions through your pipeline that are fully compliant, every time, with no late nights caused by process
  • Engineers who hand you their ugliest draft and get back something they recognize and are proud of

Nice to have, not required

  • Wins on DoD or NASA SBIR topics you can point to
  • Shipley or equivalent proposal-process training
  • Grant experience beyond SBIR: state programs, economic development, research grants
