About the company
Oddball believes that the best products are built when companies understand and value the things they are working on. We value learning and growth and the ability to make a big impact at a small company. We believe that we can make big changes happen and improve the daily lives of millions of people by bringing quality software to the federal space.
About the role
We’re looking for a Proposal Writer to join our dedicated Proposal team, where you’ll own the content strategy and production of our responses to government Requests for Proposals (RFPs), Quotes (RFQs), Information (RFI), and other external deliverables to support the opportunity lifecycle.
What you’ll be doing:
•
Lead content planning, writing, graphics ideation, peer reviews, and editing across proposal volumes and artifacts, including but not limited to: technical approaches, management, corporate experience, staffing, vendor-written Performance Work Statements, oral presentations, and technical challenges.
•
Work with the proposal, business development, capture, solutioning, and operations teams to clear blockers to developing compliant, responsive, and compelling proposals.
•
Interview subject matter experts to extract (not simply transcribe) technical information and distill it into clear, persuasive, and differentiated narrative and concepts for graphics.
•
Act as an ambassador of the Proposal team, Growth team, and of Oddball: manage peer, cross-functional, executive, and external relationships to ensure consistent input, alignment, and buy-in to the proposal process.
•
Demonstrate disciplined and ethical use of AI as an extension of your own thinking and ability to produce winning content, never as a substitute for it: arguing against your own draft, shifting feedback left based on evaluation criteria and company standards, and running down sources so you can stand confidently behind every word on the page.
•
Meaningfully contribute to improving the writing practice, proposal function, and broader Growth team at Oddball.
What you’ll bring:
•
Proven experience leading proposal volumes for U.S. federal government clients across multi-phase and quick-turn efforts.
•
Exceptional writing skills with the ability to sell complex technical concepts and our value proposition to all buyer personas/stakeholders.
•
Familiarity with U.S. federal agencies (civilian and defense), with experience writing proposals for VA, CMS, SEC, and DoW preferred.
•
Strong understanding of federal contracting including the FAR, contract vehicles, and the opportunity/business development lifecycle.
•
Demonstrated fluency with key concepts in government technology today, including: agile, human-centered design, DevSecOps, cloud infrastructure, product management, etc.
•
The drive to excel under deadline pressure and in collaborative cross-functional environments
•
Communication and persuasion skills, whether you’re interviewing a SME from the driver’s seat, offering peer-to-peer feedback, or presenting to leadership.
•
Intellectual curiosity about the work Oddball does and how we put Oddball in the best position to win more work.
•
A genuine passion for how what we do as a company improves the lives of the people we serve.
